What is Minus 3% project?
INTERNATIONAL PROJECT
START: 10/2008
END: 09/2011AIM: - start reduction in energy end-use towards 3% per annum
- in the long term to reach minus 30% by 2020

Minus3% approach
Key Finding 1Energy saved in the first year amounts to 20,987 MWh
with a value of €1,912,000
Key Finding 2The greatest savings are found in improvements to
buildings
Key Finding 3The return on investment is better for some measures
than others
Office lighting upgrade
Switch-off campaign
Eco-driving campaign
Street lighting upgrade
Pumps Variable Speed Drives
Building Management System
A-rated social housing
Building insulation
Boiler plant replacement
Solar water heating
LED Traffic lights
Historic building upgrade

Cost-effectiveness of measures
€ Cost per MWh energy saved
Key Finding 4Energy efficiency has benefits for cities
1. Reduce annual bills: less kWh = less €2. Increase capital value of municipal assets3. Avoid CO2 penalties in future/ earn € credits4. Local jobs through new energy services5. Protecting the environment by lower CO2
6. Model of good practice for citizens & business
Key Finding 5It is possible to reach the 30% target by 2020 but it
does not happen all by itself
So a special effort beyond current regulations has to be made by Cities to retrofit their buildings
Key Finding 6Energy Contracting helps to reduce up-front costs
Energy Contracting = performance, function and price guarantee
= outsourcing of commercial and technical risiks
Added value of Energy Contracting:
Energy Contracting guarantees energy costs
Key Finding 7Key to successful implementation is an inter-
departmental energy management process
Key Finding 8Early stage involvement in planning is important and
requires a long-term perspective
Key Finding 9Behavioural measures are very important
(in addition to purely technological measures)
Key Finding 10Choice of instruments is a key factor for success in
mobilising energy efficiency measures
Regulations(e.g. MasterplansBye-laws, etc)
Information and Awareness(e.g. How-to Guide)
€€€Financial Instruments
• Incentives• Direct investments• ELENA• Energy
Contracting• ESCOs
EU Policy Context‘MINUS 3% - Shining examples for the implementation
of the EU Directive on Energy End-use Efficiency and Energy Services (2006/32/EC)’
To be recast as a new Energy Efficiency Directive:
“3% of the total floor area owned by their public bodies is renovated each year to meet at least the minimum energy performance…”
Source: European Commission
Why Bother?1. To save money: less kWh = less €2. To provide a better service and example3. Protecting the environment by lower CO2
4. Legislative reasons
Yes we can!1. Cities have control and are responsible2. Cities are already successful in public services3. Cities have people, structures, systems
-and energy agencies4. Cities have support of public and media
