EASME – Unit B1 H2020 Energy

CHALLENGE

• Long-term climate and energy targets call for higher rate of building renovation

• New technologies, processes and business models are needed

• Deep renovations need to become more attractive, reliable, less disruptive for occupants, less energy-intensive (LCL – perspective) and environmentally friendly

• Deep renovations need to prepare the role of buildings in the energy system of the future (flexibility, storage and RES generation)

• Holistic consumer centered solutions with high comfort levels and high quality indoor environment.

LC-SC3-B4E-8-2020Renewable and energy efficient solutions for heating and/or cooling, and domestic hot water production in multi-apartment residential buildings

Piotr Wais

Project Advisor

EASME, Unit B.1 Energy

Specific challenges(where do we want to get?)

• Key EU targets for 2030 (climate and energy framework)– at least 40% less greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, compared to 1990

– at least 32% share for renewable energy

– at least 32.5% improvement in energy efficiency

• Almost 50 % of Union’s final energy consumption is used for heating and cooling, of which 80 % is used in buildings,

• Renewable energy supply systems in buildings are not generally applied to their full potential, especially in multi-apartment residential buildings,

• There is a need to demonstrate innovative renewable and energy efficient solutions for heating, cooling and domestic hot water production,

#H2020Energy

Scope(areas of action)

• Proposals should demonstrate the cost-effective, heating and domestic hot water production units (including cooling, and/or complementary electricity production, where appropriate),

• A system should be installed in a multi-apartment residential buildings (above 6 apartments) or in a group of few similar multi-apartment residential buildings,

• A system should cover at least 70% of the total yearly energy demand of a building from renewable energy sources. In the proposal, the consortium should indicate the percentage of the total yearly energy demand of a building covered by the proposed system,

#H2020Energy

Scope(areas of action)

• The system should be scalable for different types of multi-apartment residential buildings (different capacities) and it is expected that at least three demonstration sites are placed in at least two European countries with different climatic zones,

• The demo sites’ energy consumption and the number of families in buildings differ at least by 80% among each successive installations to demonstrate their scalability (from at least 6 apartments),

• After the commissioning, the system should be run and monitored, for a proper time within the project duration (preferable one whole year) to assess its performance,

#H2020Energy

Expected Impacts

• Proposals are expected to demonstrate the impacts listed in the topic description using quantified indicators and targets wherever possible:

– Renewable energy production (in kWh /year)

– Primary energy savings and Greenhouse gas emission savings triggered by the proposed solutions (compared to best available solution existing today)

– Competitiveness of the heat delivered by the proposed solutions (compared to best available solution existing today)

– Scale of replicability and scalability potential of the proposed solutions

• Proposals should support savings with credible data and calculation methods.

#H2020Energy

Other conditions

• Opening: 16 July 2019, closing: 15 January 2020

• Technology Readiness Level (TRL) – from TRL 7-8 (beginning of project) to TRL 8 (end of project)

• Funding rate: 70% (except for non-profit legal entities, where a rate of 100% applies)

• For Topic LC-SC3-B4E-8-2020– The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of between EUR 2.0

and 2.5 million would allow this challenge to be addressed appropriately.

– This does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.

#H2020Energy

Frequent questions: Question 1

• Is a proposal aim to move technology from TRL 7 to TRL 8?

#H2020Energy

The topic focusses on demonstration of technologies that alreadyexist on the market and hence a proposal should not refer to TRL 6.

Proposals should aim at moving technologies from TRL 7-8 to TRL 8(please see part G of the General Annexes) and the activities areexpected to be implemented at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 8by the end of project life.

Frequent questions: Question 2

• What should the energy savings be?

#H2020Energy

A system should cover at least 70% of the total yearly energy demand of abuilding from renewable energy sources.

The building envelope should already be renovated to demonstrate primaryenergy savings from a proposed system.

Frequent questions: Question 3

• There is a sentence in the topic description that “The building envelope should already be renovated”. Does it mean that a proposal cannot include any activities related to wall or roof insulations or window exchange?

#H2020Energy

The reason for including this reference is ensure proposer focus on theheating and hot water production system.

Also, if heating and hot water systems are installed alongside othermeasures related to the building fabric then it would make difficult toclearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the heating and hot watersystems, which is the main subject of the topic.

Frequent questions: Question 4

• Should the proposal deal with heating and (or) cooling solutions without connection to heating and cooling networks?

#H2020Energy

The topic is about demonstrating solutions at building level (groups ofbuildings), hence there is no reference to district heating/cooling networks.

Focus should be given to replicability, scalability and modularity thatfacilitate application and rapid development.

Frequent questions: Question 5

• What are the criteria to properly choose the number of apartments in buildings?

#H2020Energy

Units should be installed in a multi-apartment residential buildings (above 6apartments) or in a group of few similar multi-apartment residentialbuildings.

It is expected that at least three demonstration sites are placed in at leasttwo European countries with different climatic zones.

The demo sites’ energy consumption and the number of families inbuildings differ at least by 80% among each successive installations todemonstrate their scalability.

Frequent questions: Question 6

• Can a system include thermal storage?

#H2020Energy

It is up to the proposer to suggest a suitable system. Thermal storage canalso be proposed by a consortium as one of the solutions to cover above70% of all yearly energy demand.

Frequent questions: Question 7

• The challenge is to apply a new heating, cooling and hot water preparation systems. Does it mean that “cooling” is obligatory?

#H2020Energy

The challenge is to apply a new heating and domestic hot water preparationsystems, optionally with additional cooling or electricity production asappropriate.

A system should cover at least 70% of the total yearly energy demand of abuilding from renewable energy sources.

In the proposal, the consortium should indicate the percentage of the totalyearly energy demand of a building covered by the proposed system

Frequent questions: Question 8

• Can newly built efficient buildings be targeted and used as demonstration sites?

#H2020Energy

The topic focuses on existing buildings. The EU has set a target for all newbuildings to be nearly zero-energy by 2020.
