The Portuguese pilot is two connected EDP office buildings, built-in 2011, located in Oporto, Portugal. A set of energy efficiency measures were included in the design of the building, as described in the presented table. In addition, these two buildings were identified as good candidates for the pilot extended energy performance contract for the non-energy benefits the project would potentially incur (i.e increased security and decreased maintenance). The buildings are already equipped with bathrooms with flowmeters and timed taps, advanced automatic fire detection and extinguishing system, flood and hydrogen detection systems and even an advanced elevators’ traffic management system.
These features will allow the creation of an energy performance contract to control features and systems that are normally the responsibility of a subcontracted company. In this regard, the ESCO could offer an “all-in-one” service, ensuring both the performance of active and passive energy efficiency measures and also the management and control of other crucial activities for the proper.
Through the pilot energy performance contracts, EDP will have the opportunity to assess the possibilities of mixing of energy efficiency measures with non-energy services, in one contract, which can then be assessed for its applicability and bankability in the future.
