Energy Transparency:
Bridging the Gap
Between Huge Energy-Saving Potentials
and Their Actual Realisation
by Stakeholders in Large Organisations
EFR Meeting June 25th, Berlin

An Astonishing Market-Deficit
on the one hand: Multi-billion-spending on small environmental improvments (e.g.: cars)
on the other: enormous and ecomically viable conservation potentials in the
consumption of energy, water, etc. remain almost untouched – since decades
Are prices and eco-taxes the wrong approach??
No but: In key segments of the economomy, these incentives still don’t reach the relevant actors!
6
The Problem
• Energy measurements are too sparce and too centralised.• Cost centers mostly pay “their” energy bills in a “socialised manner”
with no relation to a user-pays principle.• Purchase departments consider the sticker price of an investment,
not the life-time cost.• Facility managers usually feel no real incentive to conserve energy
for their clients.• etc.
Energy-cost related transparency and incentive systems lack on the lowest level of large organisations.

Root of the Idea
Perceived need for energy transparency foundation of
DEZEM, February 2003

Background
Today:
• large conservation potentials abound in the distributed consumption of energy (often 20 - 50%)
• yet, surprisingly little is being done
DEZEM‘s Theses:
• conservation options and success monitoring must become extremly easy to understand for top management and everyone else involved
• technical and behaviour-based measures are equally important
• the issues must reach their target groups emotionally!
10
DEZEM‘s Contribution
• technologies for monitoring – en masse
• easy-to-use transparency, for professionals, top management and unskilled workers: detailed/relevant/realtime/mouse-click information in money terms - not in physical terms only
• clear-cut success-monitoring for all acticities
• new services based on complete energy and cost transparency
• development of incentive systems & „stories“ for reductions in the cost of energy, water, etc.

12
Office building:
-50% overall (improved ventilation,
cooling, etc.)
Floorlighting: -57%(improved energy management)
14Toilette lighting: - 80%(movement detectors; defect detected and removed immediately)
15Office fridge: -62%(target temperature adjusted)

Usual Project Steps
Step one• consumption patterns of the client‘s office buildings or production facilities, on
one attractive platform – in realtime via inter- or intranet
• benchmarking and definition of priorities for step two
Step two
• details according to set priorities: building sections, machines and – if necessary – down to the individual wall outlet; all on the same platform
Step three
• development and implementation of cost-cutting energy strategies (load- and consumption management through technical measures modified use patterns, cost-center billing, etc.)
19
Conclusion
emotionally attractive
Energy Transparency
• is able to resolve the above market-deficit• bridges the gap between saving-potentials and actual success
• brings life into the issue• makes energy costs a matter of choice
Thus, smart energy transparency should lower the political cost of eco-taxes and catalyse progress toward climate protection.
