ASSOCIATION ORGANIZATION
The role of the Catalonia Ener-gy Efficiency Cluster in the face of economic change At a difficult economic time like the present it is urgent to find
new roads for economic growth and job creation. Often innovation,
added value and training are mentioned as the keys to a new, more
productive and sustainable economic model. We at the Clúster
d’Eficiència Energètica de Catalunya (Catalonia Energy Efficiency
Cluster, CEEC), an association with over 80 member companies
that represent a turnover of more than 10 billion euros within the
country, wish to foster energy efficiency as one of the fields that
can contribute to accelerating the desired model while meeting
important challenges for the future.
Consumers observe how the cost of energy rises day by day. In
the face of this challenge, the CEEC has already been working
for 3 years to foster the implementation of technologies available
through the energy service companies (ESCOs) model. This model
will allow the financing of projects whose magnitude or complexity
can best be handled by private investment, with a partial or total
return in efficiency. At CEEC, we are fostering ESCOs in differ-
ent applications, among them public lighting. Moreover, there are
working groups oriented towards the ESCO Model in a multitude
of sectors and applications, in both the public sphere (schools,
primary health care centres, tunnels, etc.) and the private sphere
(supermarkets, corporate buildings, the meat industry, the wine
sector, etc.). The potential for energy efficiency is enormous.
The CEEC is also a source of new solutions and technological
developments for low-energy buildings or in the field of electric
mobility, whether through plug-in hybrids or purely electronic ve-
hicles. The use of information and communication technologies in
vehicles and infrastructures will certainly allow greater efficiency in
mobility and intermodal transport, with particular emphasis on the
rail transport sector, highly efficient from the energy perspective.
The energy efficiency sector is ever gaining in importance, as dem-
onstrated by CEEC activity. In this regard, CEEC members are in

ASSOCIATION ORGANIZATION
a privileged position to provide solutions to the energy and competi-
tiveness problems before us. Moreover, we can do so in innovative
ways, generating added value and helping to create new, more high-
ly-qualified jobs. We therefore present what we were able to accom-
plish through joint work in 2010 as proof of what we can do together
in the future.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The CEEC has created a new monitoring tool for keeping up with the progress of
association activities, the CEEC Control Panel, which is available to its members on
the website. The aim is to allow all members to see the goals set for 2011 and the
progress made towards achieving them, as well as to follow in detail the different
projects and activities on which the association is working.
The CEEC Control Panel is divided into the Cluster’s 5 general areas of action:
•Modification of Regulatory Frameworks or Environments. Participation in de-
bate forums for drawing up regulatory proposals and amendment proposals to
legal norms, regulations and ordinances. The following indicators are defined
on the Control Panel:
(1) Number of government institutions with whom CEEC is in contact.
(2) Number of initiatives in the regulatory sphere (proposals, drafting or amend-
ments) in which CEEC is participating.
(3) Agreements signed with private organizations or institutions.
Communication – Commercial Projection. Dissemination of information on
CONTROL PANEL
The Clúster d’Eficiència Energètica de Catalunya (Catalonia Energy Efficiency Clus-
ter) has defined a series of priorities for 2011, among them:
• Working group access to the market and project execution
• Attracting new members in accordance with the preliminary 2011 budget
• Holding meetings or open days for members to inform them of what CEEC is
doing and what it could do
• As well as to get their input on possible CEEC action
• Planning on publicising the CEEC and positioning it before the new Catalan
Administration.
To allow an overview of all CEEC activities, we have created a “control panel” tool,
described below.

ASSOCIATION ORGANIZATION
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE AND OPERATIONAL REGULATIONSThe Regulations on the Organizational Structure and Operation of the Clúster
d’Eficiència Energètica de Catalunya (CEEC) association establish the Cluster’s or-
ganization and how it operates, in keeping with the applicable legislation in force
and the association’s Charter.
The cluster’s governing bodies consist of the General Assembly and the Board of
Directors, which defines the CEEC’s strategic lines. In addition, there is an Execu-
tive Committee, which carries out the executive functions delegated by the Board
of Directors, and a Technical Secretariat, which takes care of the Cluster’s adminis-
trative, accounting and fiscal tasks, as well as effecting the necessary image and
communication tasks.
In 2010, the position of Cluster Manager was created as part of the CEEC’s organi-
zational structure. The Manager’s main duties include managing the working groups
and serving as CEEC representative in communication activities and for institutional
relations.
At the CEEC Ordinary General Assembly on 21 September 2010, elections were
held for the new Board of Directors, which is now comprised of Circutor, Cofely,
Comsa-Emte, Istem Copcisa Industrial, Fundació b_TEC, ICAEN, IREC, Gas Natu-
ral, Kromschroeder, PGI Engineering, Salicrú, Schneider Electric, Siemens and
Soler&Palau.

ASSOCIATION ORGANIZATION
CEEC GOALSThe Clúster d’Eficiència Energètica de Catalunya (CEEC) was set up as a non-
profit Innovative Business Cluster (Agrupació Empresarial Innovadora, AEI)
comprised of companies that supply, promote or develop products and ser-
vices associated with energy efficiency. One of CEEC’s main lines of action is
to carry out joint research, innovation and technological development projects
focussing on energy efficiency.
CEEC Goals
• Strengthen the Catalan energy efficiency sector and its international
profile
• Increase member companies’ competitiveness and business opportuni-
ties on the energy efficiency market
• Ensure greater participation of member companies in energy efficiency
projects
• Achieve synergies through collaboration
• Foster innovation and its implementation in the marketplace.
• Serve as a flagship and represent the interests of the energy efficiency
sector as well as of individual members before public authorities, official
bodies and other corporations
• Establish a unified position in the sector such that it can play a more
important role in society as a whole.
• Promote training for energy-efficiency professionals
22
ASSOCIATION ORGANIZATION
MEMBERSThe CEEC closes the year 2010 with a total of 70 members, divided among founding,
full, collaborating and entrepreneurial members, its membership thus having grown

WORKING GROUPS
Initially, the 12 founding companies that launched the CEEC formed 7 working
groups. As the association has grown, other groups have joined with the aim of fos-
tering collaborative innovation among companies, such that in December of 2010,
the CEEC had 17 active working groups (WGs). The Institut Català d’Energia (Cata-
lan Energy Institute, ICAEN) also participates actively in all of these groups, created
on initiative of the companies involved.
In 2010, several working groups were discontinued because they had reached their
goals: the b_EFIEN project (MG Buildings), the LIMA project (MG Buildings) and the
22@ project (GM Public Services). However, they may be reinstated should new
motivations and/or related projects arise.
In 2011, several new working groups are planned and others may arise over the
course of the year on the initiative of CEEC member companies. By the same token,
the working groups having attained their established goals shall be shut down while
other groups emerge. Below is a description of the work carried out by the different
groups in 2010.

MASTER GROUP ON BUILDINGS - Master Group on Buildings
During 2010 this group did not carry out any specific actions as part of CEEC.
In 2011, the Buildings Department of the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research
(IREC) will take on the leadership of the Master Group (MG) on Buildings.
This Working Group will begin its activity during the first quarter of 2011, when a
global meeting of the working groups active within the Master Group on Buildings
framework will be held in order to identify synergies and possible shared points of
interest among the different companies participating.
Proposals for Launching the Groups
To begin debate and as a guiding theme, reflection is proposed on zero-energy
buildings, one of IREC’s main lines of work at present. Along the same lines as
European Directive 2002/91/EC of the European Parliament and of the European
Council on the energy performance of buildings (recast as Directive 2010/31/
EU), the aim is to work towards achieving the ‘20-20-20’ goals established by
the European Union by the year 2020:
• Reduce total greenhouse gas emissions by 20% with respect to 1990 levels
• Increase energy efficiency by 20%
• Increase the share of renewables in the energy mix by 20%
• Identify information on exemplary projects and good practices in Catalonia
and set up a system of collecting data or documentation that could be up-
loaded onto the website under the Master Group’s section as a database.
COMPANIES INVOLVED IN THE WORKING GROUP
Companies in the Master Group on Buildings interested in participating in the group.
MASTER GROUP ON BUILDINGS
•Name of the MG: MG Buildings
•Master Group: Buildings
•Date WG established: March 2011
WORKING GROUP GOALS
•Explore the possibility of submitting different research projects to calls for projects on both a national and
a European level, with the participation of one or several working groups of the CEEC’s Master Group on
Buildings.
• Identify information on exemplary projects and good practices in Catalonia and create a system of compil-
ing the information that could be in the form of an ‘information container’ (database) on the CEEC website,
under the Master Group section.
ACTIVITIES PLANNED FOR 2011
• Identifying synergies and possible connections and joint RDI projects between different members of the WG
• Reflecting on zero-energy buildings
• Analyzing national and European calls for projects, detecting lines concordant with the WG’s topics of inter-
est, preparing joint projects as collaborative efforts among different WG companies and submitting them.
METHODOLOGY
•Holding a general meeting of the working groups active under the Master Group on Buildings in order to
discuss the goals of the group and the specific work methodology established.
• Holding sub-group meetings according to the projects undertaken.

WORKING GROUPS
Background and Goals
The Working Group on Thermally Activated Cooling (TAC WG), led by Comsa Emte,
began operating in 2009. The reflections and motivations behind its creation were to
expand on knowledge and foster thermally activated cooling technology, given the
advantages it represents over conventional cooling technologies.
Thermal comfort means peaks in electrical demand during the hottest seasons (which
have the highest incidence of solar energy) and solar air conditioning can help man-
age this demand. The substitution of the mechanical compression system by thermo-
chemical compression technology, with a very low level of noise and vibration, keeps
maintenance costs very low (few moving parts) and allows energy savings (harness-
ing waste/renewable heat). Saving on the electricity bill is one of the goals, since at
peak hours (when price is highest) production is greater and the power taken from the
conventional system is lower.
To avoid heat evacuation problems, solar domestic hot water/heating and cooling
systems can be used for winter and summer seasons, respectively, thus expanding
the use of the solar thermal system. CFC and HCFC-free systems will also be consid-
ered in this Working Group.
Activities Carried Out
This working group has carried out different activities in the field of thermally activated
cooling (TAC), such as identifying barriers to the application of thermally activated
cooling technologies (returns on investment not high enough and the need for special-
ized operation and management); and identifying existing technologies (absorption,
adsorption, solid desiccants, liquid desiccants). The study of technological alterna-
tives for auxiliary equipment (such as substitution of cooling towers with air heaters,
geothermal systems, consumption of waste heat for industrial processes, etc.); solar
thermal energy obtained through collectors (flat plate, vacuum tube or concentrating
solar collectors, solar air heating collectors, etc.) and the heat from generator cooling
circuits, industrial waste heat and the like, are also objects of analysis.
Technical and economic analysis of technologies is useful for ascertaining their de-
gree of implementation and comparing them (CREVER, COMSA EMTE, COFELY,
IREC, AIGUASOL, KROMSCHROEDER, SALICRU...). This working group (WG) is
working on knowledge transfer on thermally activated cooling technologies in order
to ascertain results and conclusions of research projects on a European level (AIGUA-
SOL): ROCOCO project, SOLAIR project and the Pompeu Fabra Library facilities in
Mataró. It also focuses on researching equipment suppliers and presentation of their

WORKING GROUPS
products and know-how relating to thermally activated cooling systems: Ecovat, Eco-
term, Sedical, Petra Inventum (Solar Item).
Analyses of the viability, both technical and financial, of possible applications focuses
on the tertiary sector: healthcare centres, shopping centres, sports centres, hotels,
prisons, large buildings with high energy consumption, etc., and in the industrial and
agricultural sectors: cooling, heating and industrial refrigeration.
To collect data and analyze it, various visits were made to facilities with possibly high
energy consumption. Facilities visited were: DMAH, Alella Municipal Sports Centre,
Masnou Municipal Sports Complex, Club Natació Granollers (Granollers swimming
pool), Club Natació Calella (Calella swimming pool), Hotel Àrea de Servei de Bellat-
erra, Consorci Sociosanitari de Viladecans (Viladecans Social & Health Consortium),
Centre Assistencial Sant Joan de Déu d’Almacelles (Almacelles Healthcare Centre),
Hotel Salou, Codorniu (Codorniu wine cellars) and the Àgora student residence hall
in Barcelona.
As part of the activities carried out in 2010, this working group effected a technical
and financial study for application on the ESCO level at specific facilities (COMSAE-
MTE + COFELY): in an office building (DMAH), at a student residence hall (ÀGORA)
and a sports centre (Alella).
Visits to facilities with thermally activated cooling systems have had a certain weight
in the WG activities. Specifically, Ges Siemsa Tarragona and the Pompeu Fabra Li-
brary in Mataró were visited. Both facilities’ thermally activated cooling systems were
out of order. Different companies and institutions of the Working Group are working to
get them operating again and thus verify and demonstrate their viability.
Through the WG’s participation in the CEEC project as an Innovative Business Cluster
(Agrupación Empresarial Innovadora, AEI), it has obtained a subsidy from the Spanish
Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade (MITyC). It has also participated in prepar-
ing the European-wide project EFFIBEST (Best available technologies for energy ef-
ficiency in non-residential buildings: energy management systems, HVAC and smart
lighting) to apply for a subsidy from the European Commission through the SAVE
programme.
Other activities carried out in 2010 were defining the elements necessary for monitor-
ing thermally activated cooling systems (KROMSCHROEDER), analyzing the legal
framework for application and researching subsidies and financing programmes.
Activities Planned
Currently, the group is working on getting thermally activated cooling systems that are
out of order or not operating back into operation. The WG’s goal is to carry out main-
tenance, management and operation of the systems according to the ESCO model
36
WORKING GROUPS
(or similar), and to carry out monitoring and remote data collection for analysis and
in order to gain in-depth knowledge of the technology and its real application. The
specific systems are: absorption machine technology (Ges Siemsa Tarragona, 34kWf)
and solid desiccant technology (Pompeu Fabra Library in Mataró).
In the sphere of research, the working group will focus on sports centres. Moreover, it
will study other possible locations or facilities with high energy consumption in order
to analyze the viability of implementing thermally activated cooling technology.
Other future group activities planned include research and analysis of operation data
from existing thermally activated cooling installations (Afrisol, Pere Camps, etc.);
monitoring and analysis of energy consumption in buildings, with the data broken
down to establish buildings’ needs (the energy demand); monitoring and analysis
of extant cooling installations to ascertain their capacities (supply); carrying out a
presentation for the Working Group on Thermally Activated Cooling showing techno-
logical solutions offered by the group and their possible applications, both in ESCO
format and as an investment by the client; and participating in the Catalan Energy
Institute’s Energy Efficiency at Sports Facilities seminar, to be held in May 2011.
With regard to specific facilities, monitoring is significant, both in the technical-eco-

MASTER GROUP ON BUILDINGS – Working Group on Energy Management Systems
Generally speaking, the Working Group on Energy Management Systems, led by
Circutor and consisting of companies in energy services, installation and mainte-
nance, equipment manufacture and software supply, began operating in 2010. The
goals of this WG are to define a measurement equipment package allowing telema-
nagement of energy consumption in buildings and public or private facilities with
the aim of establishing energy consumption ratios and collaborating in defining the
types of service to offer the government bodies.
Given the evolution that energy services are experiencing and the plans existing to
carry out projects in the sphere of administration in general, the working group has
reoriented its goals for 2011 as follows:
1. Research and carrying out energy management projects in buildings used
for different purposes, this being understood as the entirety of the services and
equipment necessary. Moreover, we intend to carry out a study relating energy
consumption and perceived comfort.
2. Defining the scope and drawing up a technical guide for building manage-
ment that will cover the following aspects:
• Necessary Service
• Technological Contribution
• Key Sectoral Consumption Ratios
Currently, due to the number of members in the working group, we believe it ne-
cessary to reorganize its operation to speed up project progress. Thus, the WG
may begin operating in sub-groups to avoid the problems that could arise between
companies with similar functions on the market.

MASTER GROUP ON BUILDINGS – Working Group on HVAC
This working group is led by Soler&Palau and among its goals and main lines of
work are fostering energy efficiency projects in heating, ventilation and air condi-
tioning (HVAC) for residential, commercial and industrial space.
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning are undergoing major evolution and con-
vergence. The projects the WG will develop and carry out will use all the latest tech-
nology available on energy efficiency: adjustment of airflow according to need, ven-
tilation with heat recovery, air conditioning incorporated into the system as in-duct
devices, sensors for parameters such as humidity, temperature and CO2, regulation
devices, continuous airflow, use of high-performance motors, in particular brush-
less ones, etc.
One of the goals is to build an energy-efficient joint offer among the HVAC Group
members. The aim is to create a global HVAC offer for passive buildings, which
would mean that the companies in the group can supply all the equipment and
components required, as well as their installation, control and maintenance.
Although the passive house or passive building concept also includes (micro-) gen-
eration of energy (solar thermal, photovoltaic or mini wind turbine), the HVAC Work-
ing Group does not touch upon this aspect.
The technical and commercial synergies among members of the working group
must be discovered and fostered. Doubtless that among the group members syn-
ergies and collaboration opportunities will arise, both from a technical and a com-
mercial standpoint. The creation of offers will allow our group members to expand
their catalogue of products. Synergies may also arise with regard to expenses, as
members may be able to share certain expenses such as creation of specific web-
sites, publishing joint catalogues, shared attendance at fairs, etc.
The latest technologies and innovations in energy efficiency must be made known
and included in the CEEC’s HVAC projects. The inclusion of said latest technolo-
gies in energy efficiency in the companies’ product range will be accompanied by
the corresponding dissemination of information, which can be online, on paper, in
the form of presentations, conferences, seminars and so forth, aimed at different
groups such as installation engineers, customers, distributors, congresses, fairs,
professional associations, technical schools and universities, etc.
43
WORKING GROUPS
Among the established lines of work is to make the WG a flagship of HVAC effi-
ciency, with influence in the legal sphere and before the Administration.
This working group aims to become a depository of knowledge on energy efficiency
in HVAC, such that said knowledge will have to be made available to the gov-
ernment, in particular to the bodies passing laws and establishing regulations. In
particular, this WG should aim to influence or contribute to the Spanish Technical
Building Code (Código Técnico de la Edificación) and the Spanish Regulations on
Thermal Installations in Buildings (RITE). In addition to the regulations facet, the
group may contribute notably by drawing up a compendium of good practice in
energy efficiency.

MASTER GROUP ON BUILDINGS – Working Group on Intelligent Façades
Goals
This working group, led by Abantia, which is the group’s company specializing in
building maintenance, began its activity in 2010 with the goal of developing prod-
ucts, equipment or systems for improvement of the energy efficiency of building
façades, integrating functions and automating functionality adapting it to outdoor
and indoor conditions; adding other improvements (soundproofing, indoor environ-
mental quality, etc.); focussing its activities on the thermal envelope, ventilation and
climate control, indoor natural lighting and energy, and seeking to develop systems
for façade renovation that can be easily integrated.
Activities Carried Out
In 2010, the working group carried out the following activities:
1. Configuration of the group, with Delta Dore immediate joining the group as a spe-
cialist in software for systems control and integration, and the subsequent joining
of PGI Engineering, an engineering and consulting company specializing in energy-
efficient buildings. The group considers that it also needs consultants specializing
in façades, and steps have been taken in this direction, with the hope that the inter-
est expressed by several companies will lead some of them to join the group.
2. Definition of priorities. The WG focussed on façade renovation, since this would
seem strategically the best step given the current economic climate. Specifically,
the group has begun to analyze the possibilities of buildings with glass façades,
since they generally display poor energy efficiency. The WG analyzed other types
of façades in the case of buildings with high energy consumption or a high degree
of indoor discomfort.
3. Commercial activities. The WG provided support to the Abantia Group to can-
vass prospective clients for whom it already takes care of building maintenance.
Activities Planned
The goals established by the working group for 2011 are as follows:
1. Final validation of the measures protocol and data collection at buildings belong-
ing to current clients (currently under development) in order to propose an energy
efficiency enhancement study, focusing on the group’s goals: the integration of
functions and automation of operation to adapt it to the indoor and outdoor condi-
tions of the building.
2. Completing the consolidation within the group of the teams necessary to advance
in the two lines of work that can produce best results under current circumstances:
glass facades or façades of a more industrial component, and conventional facades
of masonry with windows and balconies.
47
WORKING GROUPS
3. Establishment of appropriate procedures for advancing most effectively in at-
tracting potential clients or interested ESCO-type companies. The aim in each case
is to carry out a study and make a proposal for improvements to help clients decide
to invest in energy efficiency for facades (and other necessary action). This requires
analyzing the technology within the scope of CEEC member companies and using
creativity to include and propose innovative aspects.
4. There is also the possibility of developing new products, equipment or systems
for energy-efficient façades and integrating functions such as enhancing the ther-
mal envelope, ventilation and lighting.
5. Show the procedures followed and the acquisition of knowledge in the working
group in a guide covering different types of buildings that can serve in the future
as a reference work for implementing energy efficiency enhancement measures on
façades.
6. Be open to WG members’ proposals for new lines of work, group reorientation
according to specific circumstances, etc.

MASTER GROUP ON BUILDINGS – Working Group on ESCOs for Schools and Other Educational Institutions
Goals
This working group (WG), established in 2010 and coordinated by Enertika, aims to
study and develop customized solutions for implementation of the Energy Service
Company (ESCO) business model at schools and other educational institutions.
Activities Carried Out in 2010
In 2010, through periodical meetings, the following activities were carried out: train-
ing on the ESCO business model, its principals and how it functions; identification
of competencies among the different group members and their potential contribu-
tions to the different tasks required in an ESCO project; identification of a network
of potential contacts and generation of prospective business opportunities.
Analyses and reflections made during the last quarter of 2010 have revealed the
need to segment potential clients and/or action with the aim of studying and cor-
rectly evaluating the most efficient, customized solutions. The group has thus es-
tablished two main categories:
1. Educational Centres with Small or Medium Surface Areas: Generally primary and
secondary schools (CEIP, IES). Such educational centres usually have surface areas
of some 3,000-4,000 m2 and are characterized by medium to low energy intensity
and simple facilities. They usually do not have cooling systems, with the exception
of possible stand-along cooling units for administrative and faculty offices.
2. Educational Centres with Large or Very Large Surface Areas: Business schools
and universities. Such educational centres usually have surface areas of more than
5,000 m2 and are characterized by medium to high energy intensity, often having
heating and air conditioning systems.
According to these categories, two potential sub-groups for project generation
have been identified:
1. Secondary Schools (IES)
Primary and secondary schools represent a challenge for the ESCO model, which
is normally implemented in large-scale projects at facilities with significant con-
sumption levels. The main doubt relative to this application of the ESCO model is
whether, given the initial consumption (usually between € 15,000 and € 30,000 per
year), it is possible to generate sufficient savings on energy costs to recoup the ini-
tial investments in improvements and justify ESCO interest. In the face of this chal-
51
WORKING GROUPS
lenge, secondary schools seem a priori more interested than primary schools, since
the corresponding energy costs are directly at the expense of the Catalan Govern-
ment’s Department of Education and not the City Council. This characteristic allows
consideration of a possible future pooling of assets (grouping together more assets
in a single project so as to enhance the average performance of projects as a whole)
in order to generate synergies and economies of scale for ESCOs.
The companies forming the working group –Istem, Dexma and Enertika– have vol-
unteered their availability to participate on a pilot project for basic monitoring of one
or two secondary schools. The centres will be selected with the collaboration and
monitoring of the Catalan Energy Institute (ICAEN), which will study the possibili-
ties of support and financial aid, since it is a project falling within its specific field
of interest.
Some of the general advantages that managing energy at government facilities
would be:
1. Education and awareness-raising on energy issues among school users allows
the creation and development of a generation of environmentally-conscious stu-
dents also aware of their social environment. These values, directly related to sus-
tainability, could form part of student’s educational program.
2. A possible centralized database of the assets assigned to such expenses in
Catalonia would serve as an informative and management tool as well as a guide
for other Autonomous Communities of Spain.
In conclusion, studying and implementing ESCO projects at primary and secondary
schools would be beneficial and are considered desirable measures.
2. Universities and Other Institutions of Higher Education
This area of work focussing on large-dimension institutions of higher education en-
joys the support of the UPC’s experience in its UPC02 project, focussing on moni-
toring energy consumption with subsequent handling of the inefficiencies detected
and which has contributed savings of approximately 30% on energy consumption
for heating. Indeed, universities are major energy consumers with a large margin for
energy efficiency improvement. Thus, they are a good opportunity for applying the
model of outsourced energy services.
The goal established by the working group is to extrapolate from the UPC’s solution
and experience and analyze its appropriateness for outsourcing energy services at
52
WORKING GROUPS
institutions of higher learning in ESCO contract format. Work is currently being done in this direction: the WG is
evaluating what the UPC’s collaboration should consist of and seeking centres with less economic resources
and the technical capacity necessary for carrying out projects of these characteristics without the need for an
ESCO.
In this sub-group, Enertika will contribute its knowledge and experience with schools; Dexma, the technology
(software); and Intem will be the energy service company responsible for monitoring and maintenance of instal-
lations.

MASTER GROUP ON MOBILITY – WG on Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVC WG)
The main goal of this working group (WG), created in 2009, is to identify the non-
technological barriers associated with electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure
that can prevent proper implementation of this type of vehicles. This involves ana-
lyzing barriers of a regulatory type, lack of knowledge of the sector among non-
specialized groups, etc. Initiatives are then carried out via sub-groups to minimize
the impact of such barriers.
The great number of specialists comprising the working group from different sec-
tors related to electric vehicle implementation (manufacturers, equipment suppliers,
energy suppliers, users, etc.) ensures a sound selection of projects and their proper
execution, data interpretation and dissemination of results.
Activities Carried Out in 2010
The work carried out by the working group in 2010 focussed on reviewing regula-
tions affecting electric vehicles; preparing a version in article format of the docu-
ment, “Análisis de soluciones de recarga del vehículo eléctrico en aparcamientos
privados” (“Analysis of Electric Vehicle Charging Solutions at Private Parking Facili-
ties”, published by the working group in 2009 and available to the general public
through the CEEC website) for its publication in a specialized journal in the sector,
and a pilot project to install a regulation charge point in a multiple-user private
parking facility in Barcelona. The group also began to draw up a guide on installing
regulation EV charge points at private community parking garages, aimed at elec-
tric vehicle users, developers and building administrators; and fostering the IVEA
project (a study on electric mobility aiming to propose specific solutions and recom-
mendations for adaptation of mobility policy to fit electric vehicle needs).
Activities Planned for 2011
In 2011, the working group plans to: publish the article, “Análisis de soluciones
de recarga del vehículo eléctrico en aparcamientos privados” (“Analysis of Electric
Vehicle Charging Solutions at Private Parking Facilities”) in the ELECTRA journal;
adapt and publish the article in a construction sector journal (aimed at developers
and builders); revise the Spanish Complementary Technical Instructions (ITC) of the
Electrotechnical Regulations on Low Tension (REBT) specific to electric vehicles
and submit the final proposal to the Spanish Ministry in question, as well as moni-
toring progress on this issue.

MASTER GROUP ON MOBILITY – Working Group on Efficient Mobility
This working group (WG), established in 2010 and led by Siemens, focuses on proj-
ects for improving surface street traffic, analyzing mobility both with regard to the
vehicles (tramways, buses, cars, motorcycles) and to efficient management of the
infrastructures they use.
Activities Carried Out in 2010
In 2010, the WG carried out the following:
1. Researched possible projects for the 7th EU Framework Programme (FP7).
After surveying the calls for projects, the WG considered submitting the following
projects:
Energy Consumption Reduction in Urban Rail Systems, (SST.2011.1.1-4). Pilot proj-
ect for a station including a reversible substation and accumulation. After a series of
meetings with a Catalan business consortium, a proposal was devised and submit-
ted to the European Commission under the leadership of UITP and UNIFE.
ICT for Clean and Efficient Multi-modal Mobility (ICT 2011-6.6, b). After analyzing
an existing proposal put forth by the UPC’s Centre for Transport Innovation (CENIT)
and identifying working group members’ fields of interest, a sub-group was created,
led by CENIT and with the participation of COMSA-EMTE and SENER, to develop
a joint proposal. The project was not submitted due to lack of time and is now on
hold, awaiting submission to a future call for proposals.
2. White Paper on Efficient Mobility
In late 2010, the WG decided to focus its efforts on drawing up a White Paper to
present reflections on solutions allowing improved surface street traffic in the city
of Barcelona. The aim is to detect specific government needs from which project
opportunities may arise.
Activities Planned for 2011
In 2011, the WG plans on working on the following:
1. White Paper on Efficient Mobility
One of our goals in 2011 is to draw up and publish the stated White Paper and ef-

• Entrance of ESCOs onto the public lighting market, primarily due to the promo-
tion of the Government (Genercat 2000ESE plans, etc.)
• Major growth forecast in this sector once the projects undertaken demonstrate
the model’s advantages
• Need to establish the positioning of ESCOs in public lighting to orient the ten-
dering parties and increase the chances for success in the tendering process
• Evaluation of the possibly high economic impact of the tenderers’ having to
repeat the preliminary auditing process
• Need to optimize the tendering process and make it more efficient, with a gen-
eral vision of the resources allocated by both the city council and the tenderers
in the preliminary audits.
Thus, the group, comprised by energy service companies (ESCOs), has the follow-
ing goals:
1. Establishing the business sector’s position with respect to tenders for energy
service suppliers in public lighting
2. Drawing up a document on the ESCOs positions with respect to different the
aspects to be considered (technical, legal, contractual) in this type of tenders and
arriving at a common position
3. Publishing and disseminating the document. A document will be drawn up based
on consensus and reflecting the ESCOs’ position, which will be open to review
by other CEEC companies, such that they may contribute suggestions, comments
and/or modifications before the document is publicly disseminated

MASTER GROUP ON PUBLIC SERVICES – Working Group on ESCOs in Public Lighting
Background and Goals
The CEEC’s Working Group on ESCOs in Public Lighting (Lighting WG), led by Comsa
Emte, began operating in late 2008. It continues pertinent and active, strengthened by
promotion of energy service company (ESCO) business models by the Government.
From the start, the group began working on a model outsourcing contract for energy
services relating to street lighting systems mainly oriented towards town councils as
potential clients, establishing the proposal of drawing up contracts and developing
ESCO projects. Once the decision was made to use this contract model, the situation
was analyzed and the most important aspects were established, as follows:
•Current economic climate
•Spanish Royal Decree 1890/2008 - Energy Efficiency in Public Lighting Systems
Regulations
•Age / Energy inefficiency of municipal lighting facilities
•New technologies and development of energy-efficient equipment (lamps, reac-
tance, management systems, etc.).
On the basis of this analysis, the Lighting WG proposed a model with a single final
goal: create an ESCO to renovate and/or improve public street lighting facilities in
different municipalities to make them fully energy efficient. In this contract model, the
ESCO makes the investment, recouping it through energy savings attained by imple-
menting its energy efficiency proposals.
With the aim of establishing an atmosphere of trust and transparency with the pos-
sible client, the model proposed by the Lighting WG includes a first stage during
which the following measures are carried out:
•Energy audit of the street lighting facilities
•Viability study and drawing up the technical and legal documentation for out-
sourcing energy facilities management to ESCOs
These measures are considered fundamental for setting up an ESCO that will be fully
operational, economically viable and energy efficient. That is, they must allow the
Lighting WG to gain real knowledge of the state of the facilities and their characteris-
tics and operation to establish the viability of an ESCO and define the measures to be
carried out by it, its scope and the targeted results.
69
WORKING GROUPS
The second stage defined by the Lighting WG corresponds to the execution of the
ESCO according to the conditions described in the project for viable energy facilities
management for Energy Service Companies.
Activities Carried Out in 2010
In late 2009, after seeking prospective clients for the business model in question, the
Lighting WG provided support and orientation to two town councils in Catalonia to
apply for public aid from the Catalan Energy Institute (ICAEN) for energy efficiency and
conservation subsidies within the framework of the Action Plan for Energy Efficiency
and Conservation Strategy (DOGC 28/09/2009), in order for them to obtain subsidies
to carry out the studies enabling the Lighting WG model to be put into practice.
Two different subsidies were requested, for: Energy Audit of Outdoor Lighting Facili-
ties and Viability Study for Outsourcing Street Lighting Facilities to an ESCO.
These studies would allow the working group to gain real knowledge of the state of
the facilities and their characteristics and operation to establish the viability of an
ESCO and define the measures to be carried out by it, its scope and the targeted
results.
The town councils in question were:
•Vidreres Town Council (Province of Girona): Streetlights: ± 2,000 / Inhabitants: ±
5,500
•Cardedeu Town Council (Province of Barcelona): Streetlights: ± 4,500 / Inhabit-
ants: ± 17,000
Finally, ICAEN granted a subsidy for the viability study for an ESCO street lighting
outsourcing project to both town councils, which in turn had to select the company
to carry out the study.
The Lighting WG appointed EMTE Service S.A.U. as the company to carry out the
studies on its behalf. The Vidreres City Council entrusted the study to EMTE Service
S.A.U. Nonetheless, the WG was informed that the Cardedeu study had been en-
trusted to SECE, which was already carrying out the maintenance of the town’s street
lighting facilities.
Once the official confirmation from Vidreres was received for outsourcing the facilities
to the company EMTE Service S.A.U., it began carrying out the study. The deadline
for submitting the final study is 31 January 2011.

WORKING GROUPS
The situation with the Cardedeu City Council was a disappointment for the Lighting
WG. The group has contacted the city council through several meetings with the
municipal technician and local government officials, the establishment and aim of the
CEEC’s working group had been explained, along with the benefits of undertaking a
study to implement an ESCO project in the municipality, and we had also provided
them with all of the documentation necessary to apply for and obtain a subsidy from
ICAEN. This notwithstanding, the municipality chose another company. On the basis
of this experience, the Lighting WG began to question the appropriateness of the
established model for attracting clients.
The basic model established defined the best prospective client, understood as those
with the greatest potential for doing business, small town councils with a department
of public works and services and not a maintenance company, for various reasons,
primarily:
• It was considered easier to obtain contracts as the town councils did not already
have a specialized maintenance company on hire capable of offering these ser-
vices.
•Facilities at such municipalities often have greater potential for improvement in
energy efficiency, since their state of conservation and maintenance is generally
lower than facilities serviced by specialized maintenance companies.
• Investment of resources (both in the study stage and in the actual ESCO project
stage) is usually lower, allowing several projects to be carried out at the same
time.
Finally, the Lighting WG decided to include SECE, one of the most important com-
panies in the specific sector of street lighting maintenance in Catalonia, as one of its
members in 2011. SECE is a member of CEEC and has shown an interest in joining
the WG on several occasions.
The Lighting WG considers that the presence of SECE can open doors for the Work-
ing Group in attracting other town councils as potential clients for the ESCO model
and will facilitate the work of generating a significant business volume.
By the same token, in late 2010, the CEEC decided to create a new WG on ESCO
Tenders in Public Lighting, whose goals are described above and which will work in
parallel to the Lighting WG. Both EMTE Service S.A.U. and ISTEM, two Lighting WG
member companies, will participate in the WG on ESCO Tenders in Public Lighting
and will serve as liaisons between the two WGs.

WORKING GROUPS
Working Group Goals for 2011
GOAL 1
After submitting the viability study for the Vidreres Town Council, the Lighting WG will
contribute the necessary means for the Town Council to decide to go ahead with the
ESCO project.
Since the project execution will be assigned via a public tendering process, the Light-
ing WG will be available to provide counselling to the Town officials should they so
request, so as to raise the chances for success, with the support, if necessary, of the
ESCO Public Lighting Services WG.
GOAL 2
At the same time, with the inclusion of SECE in the Lighting WG, the base model es-
tablished to attract new clients will be reviewed.
In principle, the Lighting WG expects to maintain its premises based on:
•The current model of small town councils continues to be valid. Therefore, we
believe the modus operandi being used is correct. We believe that if we increase
our business capacity, other town councils may become interested.
•Defining a new model for town councils that already employ the services of an
external street lighting facilities maintenance company.
PROSPECTS
Since the Lighting WG believes that the model defined for small town councils is valid
and that it will also define another model for larger town councils, we hope that during
the course of 2011, we can carry out a broad range of viability studies for projects for
outsourcing street lighting facility services to ESCOs.
These prospects are mainly based on three conditioning factors:
•The CEEC wishes to make an agreement with the Barcelona Provincial Council
(Diputació de Barcelona) to carry out studies at a series of town councils having
shown an interest in participating in ESCO projects
• Including SECE in the WG will most certainly provide us with many contacts with
town councils
•The experience of the viability study for the Vidreres Town Council and the pos-
sible ESCO project will most likely open doors for us, at least at town councils of
similar characteristics

MASTER GROUP ON PUBLIC SERVICES – Working Group on District Heating and Cooling
This working group (WG), led by Ecoenergies (Agefred), began operating in 2010
with the aim of fostering the creation of district heating and cooling (DHC) networks
among government authorities and establishing an observatory of DHC projects in
Catalonia (data, trends, CO2 emissions reductions and so forth).
The following two projects were established as priorities for 2010:
•Carrying out a comparative study between a conventional solution and connec-
tion to DHC. The project is in its final stage: the last parameters are being defined
before proceeding to make a spreadsheet where, by entering a series of data,
the comparative study can be obtained on both the economic and environmental
aspects. The study includes such parameters as:
1. Economic and technical parameters: investment and operation costs (main-
tenance, energy expenses, etc.)
2. Useful space saved
3. Space saved according to the installed power capacity (m2/kW)
4. Cost of renting the space (€/m2).
5. Legal Regulations: A DHC facility can allow you to avoid installing the so-
lar panels required by the Spanish Regulations on Thermal Installations in
Buildings (RITE). This must be kept in mind in the case of housing and ho-
tels, but not in that of offices.
6. Environmental parameters: CO2 emissions
7. Energy certification of buildings: the connection of a building to a DHC net-
work can make the building’s energy certification go up a letter. In this re-
gard, the post CALENER tool can be used to enter several examples and
evaluate to what degree buildings will really rise in category.
8. Safety: the danger of fires and/or explosions in the building is eliminated
with the elimination of gas.
•DrawingupaguidetosimulateaDHCsystemwithCALENERsoftware.Distri-
clima and Ecoenergies (Agefred) drew up the guide, which has been validated by
the Catalan Institute for Energy (ICAEN) and has proven useful for developing an
extension of the CALENER software (i.e. post CALENER) that allows simulating
a connection to district heating and cooling networks based on the operational
parameters of the power stations.

MASTER GROUP ON PUBLIC SERVICES – Working Group on Energy Efficiency in Tunnels
This Working Group (WG), comprised by the companies GPO INGENIERÍA, ISTEM,
EMTE, SNELLOPTICS, SIEMENS, ESPACIO SOLAR and CONAU VENTILACIÓN,
has the final initial goal of “describing the design and operation criteria to consider
when projecting, constructing and operating a tunnel for it to be energy efficient.”
At the first meeting, since there is a diversity of tunnel types, the group decided
to study non-urban vehicular tunnels. The reason is that existing tunnels will soon
have to be adapted to the new regulations and therefore, the criteria arising from the
group’s conclusions will be able to be put into practice shortly.
Activities Carried Out in 2010
In 2010, five general working meetings were held, at an average of one a month be-
ginning in June. Several partial working meetings were also held to discuss specific
topics.
The meetings were attended by members of each of the WG’s participating compa-
nies, as well as senior officers from companies specializing in lighting, on occasion,
such as BJC and OSRAM. Attending habitually were also officials from the Catalan
Energy Institute (ICAEN), whose contributions have helped us gain a more global
perspective. Towards the end of the year, representatives of TABASA also began
attending meetings, offering us a very important perspective, i.e. that of the tunnel
operator.
Four sub-groups were created to deal with the following aspects:
• Artificial Lighting: SNELLOPTICS and EMTE. Studying the effects of lighting
colour and type and the colour of the walls and asphalt to find the most energy-
efficient system
• Ventilation: SIEMENS and CONAU. Laboratory tests have been carried out to
verify energy consumption of extractor fans working, not as conventional ele-
ments but as electricity generators using the natural air currents occurring in
tunnels.
• Electricity and Power: ISTEM, EMTE and SIEMENS
• Natural Lighting: ESPACIO SOLAR and GPO. Three lines of action were estab-
lished: Studying natural light shaft systems to light tunnel entrances, darkening

structural elements at tunnel entrances and elongating the entrances to tunnels
lit by natural lighting.
Each sub-group worked independently and developed specific ideas to improve
tunnel efficiency. These ideas and measures are later discussed at the general
meetings, where results are shared.
Activities Planned for 2011
Basically, the ideas of each of the sub-groups will be developed and specified on
the basis of studies, as well as, in some cases, on-site experimentation. They will
then be included in a document establishing design criteria for projecting and oper-
ating road tunnels, as per the group’s initial goal.

MASTER GROUP ON INDUSTRY – Working Group on Micro-Cogeneration in the Industrial Sector
This working group (WG), led by Salicru, aims to introduce micro-cogeneration (mi-
cro combined heat and power) technology to sectors and applications where, due
to dimensions, energy source characteristics and so forth, the use of a micro-tur-
bine would optimize the overall energy efficiency of systems. The ultimate intention
is thus to offer integrated and innovative solutions on the market, increasing the
competitiveness of group companies and fostering a sustainable economy through
reduction in energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
The working group thus intents to become a leader in micro-cogeneration (micro
CHP) solutions, pursuing different projects that demonstrate the technical and eco-
nomic viability of micro-turbines, evaluating aspects such as returns on investment
and ease of replication on the market.
In 2010 the WG carried out the following activities:
•Analyzed possible processes or industries where application of micro-cogene-
ration technology would be appropriate.
•Evaluated thermal needs (maximum power, seasonality…).
•Carried out project viability studies
•Selected the equipment and design for the micro CHP system
•Proposed different sources of financing, including by the company itself or via
financing institutions, ESCOs, etc.

goal of offering energy-efficient solutions (ECO packages) for manufacturing pro-
cesses in the industrial sector. The aim is to improve the overall energy efficiency of
the industry without modifying the manufacturing process per se, through the tech-
nology and services that the different members of the group can supply. The areas
to be worked on are industrial heating and cooling, as well as any other process
affecting a company’s energy consumption. The group’s lines of work are:
1.Contacting prospective companies in the industrial sector likely to benefit from
improvements entailing reduced emissions, reduced consumption and in-
creased productivity
2.Effecting preliminary audits and collecting data to evaluate the degree of ef-
ficiency of the different manufacturing processes
3.Identifying the processes / services that can be optimized
4.Identifying technologies / services that can be supplied
5.Creating a customized “ECO package” for each case
6.Applying the improvements and checking the subsequent results
In 2010, the following activities were carried out:
1.Defining the working group’s specific goals insofar as its approach to industrial
manufacturing processes, disregarding all auxiliary services, which are the fo-
cus of another working group.
2.Reducing the WG’s number of members, according to each member compa-
ny’s characteristics
3.Defining the Eco packages with respect to stages or steps. See the above-
stated lines of work.
4.Review of the current scenario on the emissions market from the industrial
perspective, using the Spanish National Plan for Emissions Rights Assignment
(Plan Nacional de Asignación de Derechos de Emisión, PNA) of the current and
previous fiscal years as a reference
5.Definition and situation of subsidies from the Government of Catalonia appli-
cable to the Industrial Sector (ICAEN’s PAGE programme)
6.Participating in sessions with other clusters (INNOVAC), seeking synergies that
can be of mutual interest
The working group’s main goal for 2011 centres on executing a pilot project at an in-
dustrial company consisting of a viability study for enhancing the energy efficiency
of the manufacturing process, developing the corresponding ECO package and
applying it, exhaustively monitoring the results.

MASTER GROUP ON INDUSTRY – Working Group on ESCOs in the Food Industry
This working group (WG), led by the Pamias engineering firm, began operating in
2010 with the aim of studying the viability of creating an Energy Service Company
(ESCO) for the private industrial sector (specifically, the food industry) and analyzing
and making known any new products and services arising therefrom. The group’s
main lines of work are:
•Benchmarking real applications in Energy Service Companies;
•Studying the contract model for the ESCO and private industry;
•Determining the most appropriate technologies for ESCO implementation;
•Studying the benefits for the different agents involved, as well as their interrela-
tions.
There are two goals behind these activities: first of all, carrying out a project to
implement an energy service company in private industry; and secondly, drawing
up a guide for ESCO implementation in the private industrial sector.
In 2010, the WG carried out the following activities:
1.Setting up the group, comprised by companies specialized in the different areas
required for the group’s goals: Pamias (engineering), Cofely (energy services
company), Ecliman (climate control), Siemens (energy), EoEnergia (strategic
consulting) and Kromschroeder (services in the fields of measurement, safety,
regulation, control and use of gas)
2.Studying and discussing the contract and service models applied in the food
industry
3.Drawing up informative documentation on the group
4.Identifying target industries to whom the model should be publicized

WORKING GROUPS
With this aim in mind, the Master Group on Training carried out an analysis of the
different training programmes relating to energy efficiency existing on the market.
The analysis revealed that the training option most in accordance with the group’s
perspective, lending emphasis to practical training, was the Master Group on En-
ergy Efficiency of the University of Barcelona’s IL3 (Institute for Lifelong Learning).
The pertinent contacts having been made with the directors of the UB’s Master
Group, the initiatives for the current 2010-2011 academic year consist of having
companies in the CEEC’s Master Group on Training design and set up practical
sessions.
The goals for the forthcoming academic year (i.e. 2011-2012) are to sign an IL3-UB
– CEEC collaboration agreement, and to negotiate an agreement for CEEC’s partici-
pation in the IL3-UB Master Group as co-director, which would allow it to influence
the training programme.

Jornada tècnicaXarxes de calor i fredde districte a Catalunya.25 d’octubre de 2010
Amb la col·laboració de:
www.gencat.cat/icaen
Els sistemes basats en xarxes de districte produeixen energia tèrmi-ca en unes instal·lacions centra-litzades i la distribueixen fins als usuaris mitjançant un conjunt de canonades aïllades a través d’un fluid que pot ser vapor, aigua ca-lenta i/o aigua freda.
Les xarxes de districte, per una banda milloren l’eficiència energè-tica del sector serveis i edificació ja que ofereixen sistemes de clima-tització amb un consum energètic menor. Per altra banda, perme-ten augmentar la utilització de les energies renovables i la generació energètica més eficient.
Actualment, a Catalunya només hi ha set xarxes de districte, però es un sector amb grans oportunitats de creixement. És per això que l’ICAEN organitza aquesta jornada, amb la participació de l’Agència Danesa de l’Energia que compar-tirà la seva experiència en aquest camp a Dinamarca, on aquesta tecnologia està més consolidada.
