Defining “efficiency” in

physics, engineering, economics...

An engineer's perspective on energy efficiency - Lecture @ Summer School on Energy - June 2016 - Fabio Morea -

Efficiency

‣Efficiency describes

the extent to which a resource

is well used for the intended purpose,

with a minimum amount of losses.

examples of resources:

raw material, energy, time, effort...

examples of losses: scrap, wasted heat,

unnecessary effort ...

Energy Efficiency

‣The term “Energy Efficiency” describes

the ratio between the benefits gained

and the energy used.

‣It is interpreted differently in various disciplines

‣physics

‣engineering

‣environmental policy...

Supply

are there any business or job

opportunities ?

is it as simple as it seems?

Most of the existing

energy-intensive services

were constructed under

very limited - if any -

efficincy criteria.

They provide a huge,

largely untapped,

potential for

cost-effective energy

saving.

Owners are often not

aware of such potential,

while energy bills are

considered a

fixed cost.

Energy Efficiency & Climate

‣ The Covenant of Mayors

an European movement

involving local authorities,

committing to increasing

energy efficiency and use

of renewable energy

sources on their

territories,to meet and

exceed the European

Union 20% CO2 reduction

objective by 2020.

‣ A Sustainable Energy

Action Plan (SEAP) is the

key document in which the

Covenant signatory

outlines how it intends to

reach its CO2 reduction

target by 2020. It defines

the activities and measures

set up to achieve the

targets, together with time

frames and assigned

responsibilities.

‣Energy Efficiency is a key strategy to

reduce CO2 emissions at local and

global level

demand of energy,

thus reducing the need for supply and

Key factors in EE projects

‣Awareness ‣ Is there enough data on energy consumption & energy losses ?

‣ Are decision makers informed nformed on cost, technology, risks, pakback ?

‣Behaviour ‣ How does efficiency depend on people’s behaviour, habits, perceptions ?

‣Long term vision ‣ Are you ready to invest on large, old infrastructure ?

‣ Do you have enough money ?

The occupiers do. And they need energy for heating,

as well as air conditioning,

plug-in applicances, light, communication, ventilation, security, mobility...

Buildings do not need

any energy.

Untapped Potential

‣ Buildings account for 40% of EU final energy demand and 36%

of greenhouse gas emissions. The vast majority of existing

buildings were constructed when energy building regulations

were very limited - if any,

‣ they provide a huge, largely untapped, potential for cost-

effective energy saving.

‣Most buildings existing today will still be standing in 30 years'

time; the rate of new construction remaining generally low.

‣ building renovation using energy efficiency criteria is a

key challenge to meet energy efficeincy and

environmental targets.

energy in buildings

‣ building design for efficiency is a common topic for students,

while actual energy use in existing -or ancient- buildings is the

key factor for owners and managers.

‣ Energy use is due to several factors,

‣ technical

e.g. insulation, solar shading,

‣ individual

e.g. sensitivity to indoor air quality,

clothing, activity

Thermal Insulation

pubblico.

Le macchie rosse indicano la

presenza di impianti di

riscaldamento senza isolamento

termico.

Isolare l’edificio e gli impianti

comporta costi iniziali elevati ma

produce risparmi

molto significativi a lungo

termine.

Automatic control - temperature Nest knows you.

By now, the Nest Thermostat has made a

schedule for your home that’s helping

you save energy. Change the

temperature a few days in a row and

Nest will catch on, but one-off

adjustments won’t confuse it.

Want to refine your schedule? You can

edit it in seconds on the Nest Thermostat

or remotely using your Nest Account.

Impact of EU policy on EE

‣Nearly-Zero-Energy-Building” (NZEB) has a very

high energy performance, therefore requires a

very low (“nearly zero”) amount of energy

produced on-site by renewable sources

Conclusions

increasing Energy Efficiency is...

‣...the largest, least expansive source of energy

‣...largely untapped, neglected, available

‣...open to a variety of solutions: innovative

products and services, retrofit, renovation,

upgrade, behavioural change, control strategies,

software, electronics, nanothecnology....

‣...a great opportunity to engage in a research

project, get involved in a communication

campaign, work as an energy manager or start

your own innovative business.
