Åmot
Co-partner: Hedmark County (7%)

ElverumRegionens NæringsUtvikling
Sør-Østerdal:
5 Municipalities
35.000 inhabitants
Total areal 9.945 km2
Scattered population
Cold and dry climate
133 municipal buildings: 260.000m2 with an energy consumption of 45 GWh
Most buildings are from the period 1950 - 80 (when energy costs were very low)

ElverumRegionens NæringsUtvikling
Hedmark County 200.000 Inhabitants
22 Municipalities
27.000 Km²
Co-owner (33%) in Inland Energy Agency
Operates buildings all over the County,
- responsible for the secondary schools.
- some of the healthcare.
SEAP of 2009 is under revision now.
Administration center: HAMAR. 30.000 Inhabitants.

We are also affected by the climate change
• Requirements from the State: SEAP
• National Targets
• EU 20-20-20, Covenant of Mayors
ENSAMB April 2015
ElverumRegionens NæringsUtvikling
Starting point of the Project: All the 5 municipalities in Sør-Østerdal
have approved Energy- and Climate plans (SEAP) (2004 – 2009)
Energy saving measures in municipal buildings are important elements of these plans.
Sør-Østerdal are signatories of “Covenant of Mayors”
But: The municipalities have very limited resources. → The motivation for financial savings dominates
ENSAMB April 2015
ElverumRegionens NæringsUtvikling
We have a Target:
”To reduce the Energy consumption in the Municipal buildings in i Sør-Østerdal with 25% by 2015”
How to achieve?
Through investments, Developing competence and skills. Motivation and Information. Change of behavior How?
Cooperation and working together. Joint project established in 2009
ENSAMB April 2015
ElverumRegionens NæringsUtvikling
Estimated investment:
Approx. 11 MEuro (85 MNOK) Although measures are profitable, there are no automatic funding mechanisms in the municipalities.
We are therefore working with different methods:
EPC (Energy Performance Contract)
Conventional contracting
Financing from the Municipalities and/or bank.
A combination
ENSAMB April 2015
ElverumRegionens NæringsUtvikling
We wanted to speed up.
ENOVA (State Energy Agency) encouraged us
to apply for IEE / MLEI
“Energy Saving in Municipal Buildings in
Small Communities in Rural Districts”
MLEI – ENSAMB
Project period: 18th June 2012 – 30th October 2015

Project key task:
Energy savings in the small
municipalities by:
1. Providing technical assistance
and technical training
2. Modeling inter-municipal
cooperation Contracts (EPC)
3. Initiate Conventional and
Integrated EE investments
ENSAMB April 2015
ElverumRegionens NæringsUtvikling
Steps in the ENSAMB-project:
1. Find out current situation of energy
consumption
2. Suggest contract strategy for each building
3. Bundling into larger packages
4. Initiate financing. (Doing the measures
bankable)
5. Initiate investments / actions
6. Negotiate, Procurement
7. Training of the operational staff
8. Documentation, Information and Motivation
ENSAMB April 2015
ElverumRegionens NæringsUtvikling
Why we recommend the EPC-model:
1. The guaranteed energy savings
2. Capacity
133 buildings with an average of
9 measures, gives over 1000 contracts.
The municipalities do not have the resources to handle
this. Neither technical nor procedural.
3. Speed
We want to act!
But: We still had to convince the Municipal Councils
ENSAMB April 2015
ElverumRegionens NæringsUtvikling
Buildings with the same challenges will be
systematized for collective (similar) purchasing
procedures in the supplier market.
Reason: Attract suppliers to achieve good conditions.
Categories in the bundling:
EPC-contracts
Conventional purchasing
Integrated project.
(Mayor refurbishment with an energy part)
Contract bundling
ENSAMB April 2015
ElverumRegionens NæringsUtvikling
1. Time schedule (progress in political processes)
2. Volume (optimally between 1-5 MEuro)
3. Willingness to agree on common criteria’s
- Calculation interest rate - Calculation energy price
- Selection principles
- Other contract details
Our case: Bundle A: 1 Bid, 1 Contract
Bundle B: 1 Bid, 4 Contracts
Bundling criteria's EPC

• The Competition: “Negotiated contract”
• The ESCO’s was invited to investigate pilot buildings (2 – 4 buildings)
• The ESCO’s was invited to:
- Provide fixed prices for the pilot
buildings
- Estimated values for the total
• Evaluation and Contract award.
• Project development for the buildings
Our EPC process
ENSAMB April 2015
ElverumRegionens NæringsUtvikling
Norsk Standard NS 6430:2014 • Real estate development
(“Umbrella”)
• Project development (Phase 1)
• Project execution (Phase 2)
• Project Following up (Phase 3)
EPC Contracts
ENSAMB April 2015
ElverumRegionens NæringsUtvikling
• The Audit Phase: 6 – 12 month
• The Bid Phase: 4 – 5 month
• Evaluation / Contract award: 3 month
• The Analysis (Phase1): 3 – 5 month
• Political approval (Possible EXIT): 2 month
• Implementation (Phase 2): 1 – 2 years
• Guarantee with follow-up
(Phase 3): 5 – 9 years
Motivation: Savings > 110% will be shared 50/50
The Phases
ENSAMB April 2015
ElverumRegionens NæringsUtvikling
Financing (Hardware)
The Investments was (preliminary)
calculated to ~11’25 MEuro
The sources are a mix of:
- Municipal Budgets (mostly).
- Some subsidies (ENOVA). (ca. 10%)
- Bank loans in the Municipal Bank of Norway
(“green” interest rate 0,1% below nominal)
- Supplier and/or 3 party. (Not competitive)

Important part:
Training of the building operators.
Covers 6 technical topics
For each: 1 day practical training “at site”.
Top teachers from Norway and Sweden
As preparation for the detail training of
equipment delivered by (and done by) the
contractor.
A highly appreciated motivation task.
60-70 operators has participated

Status Investments (Preliminary)
• Signed Contracts 2012 – 2014: 9,6 MEuro EPC and some conventional and Integrated projects
• Signed Contracts 2015 (expected) 2 MEuro Integrated projects and some conventional project

Lessons learned in Sør-Østerdal
Use an existing cooperation platform
The «as-is» description (audit) of the buildings is
important (Must be correct. Takes time)
Good communication with the Councils.
(Information to Mayor / Director. Meet the Councils)
Cooperate with the Building Technicians
(Operational staff are the key-personell !)
