Solid State Lighting - Objective 1.1under the ICT PSP Workprogramme 2011

■ Pilot Actions for stimulating innovation and

competitiveness

and for developing EU-wide markets

■ Actions technology deployment and demonstration

(not research!)

■ Target user communities!

2 to 3 pilot actions for up to 10M€ EU contribution in total

SSL pilot actions – what?Characteristics:• A broad range of general lighting applications • Reliable data on energy and economic savings• large scale demonstration in different environments and settings • maximise impact and visibility to European citizens • 2-3 demonstration projects is preferred to a single large one• Network between these projects for broad EU-wide awareness and maximum

impact. • Involve relevant SSL players in the full value chain, including end-users. • refurbishment of existing infrastructure, rather than installation in new buildings. • Focus on commercial/non-residential sector rather than domestic. • Address BOTH improved energy efficiency AND better light quality. • Showcase of the full exploitation potential of SSL technology, including its

integration with intelligent lighting systems.• test the performance of state-of-the art SSL products and intelligent light

management systems in terms of total life-cycle costing, reliability, interoperability with facility management of buildings, etc.

SSL pilot actions – where?

Where should they take place?• Anywhere in Europe necessary to achieve the requirements of the action.

Given the expected scale and scope, and to maximise impact and visibility, possible locations include: – Airports– Public buildings– Museums– Commercial centres (e.g. shopping malls)– Retail outlets– Offices

• Pilots could address more than one of these in more than one location• Each pilot should showcase or demonstrate a variety of SSL applications

(e.g. in the main spaces, shops, restaurants, cafeterias, bars, parking). • Signage or indication functions could also be incorporated.

SSL pilot actions – who?

Who can apply?• All relevant players in the SSL "food chain": lighting and

luminaire industry, architects and lighting designers, contractors/installers and end-users, including stakeholders and end-users from the public sector as appropriate.

• National and regional energy agencies should be involved in the dissemination of the results.

• The consortium must include at least four mutually-independent legal entities from four different Member States or ICT PSP Associated countries to be eligible for Pilot Type B.

• Non-MS/AS, Intl. Orgs. are not eligible for funding.

SSL pilot actions – expected size and duration

• Total costs 4M€ - 8M€ per pilot action (2M€ - 4M€ funding). • The EC funding is up to 50% of the eligible implementation costs, to

cover:– the additional initial cost of an SSL installation over a lighting installation

based on non-SSL technology,– the validation of the energy savings and carbon footprint reduction

realized,– the dissemination of the project outcome beyond today’s standard

practice, involving installers, citizens and users.

• Research activities are not funded; although, when needed, technical adaptation and integration work in order to achieve the objectives may be covered,

• Typical duration 3 years (but can be longer), including the design, installation and assessment phases, although the generation of longer-term data or results (on real energy savings, user perception etc.) should continue after that time. At least 1 year should be operational.

Smart lighting in public buildings: Objective 1.1 or Objective 1.2?

Objective 1.2: "ICT for energy efficiency in public buildings" could also address smart lighting. The correct Objective depends on the focus of the proposed pilot:

• If the main emphasis is on SSL and in showcasing its benefits when compared to traditional lighting,, then it should be submitted to Objective 1.1.

• If it includes smart lighting together with many other energy saving technologies (such as smart metering, power electronics, energy micro-generation, etc.) then it should be submitted to Objective 1.2.

ICT Policy Support Programme1.2 ICT for energy efficiency in public buildings

Call 5 Information Day Brussels, 28th of February 2011

Carmen IFRIM ICT for Sustainable GrowthEuropean CommissionInformation Society and Media Directorate-General

ICT for a low carbon economy1.2 ICT for energy efficiency in public buildings

• Objective: to improve, through ICT-based solutions, energy efficiency in European public buildings (e.g. schools, hospitals, administrative offices)

• Funding instrument: Pilot B

• Budget: 7 M€

• Several actions to be funded up to maximum budget allocated


Pilot actions should aim to: demonstrate that advanced ICT components

and systems (e.g. smart metering, smart lighting, power electronics, energy micro-generation, etc.) can contribute directly to reducing energy losses and consumption in public buildings; energy savings in peak and annual consumption of more than 15% should be presented;

validate the effectiveness of ICT-based solutions, serve as showcases, facilitate their wider uptake and replication.


Pilots should:• Use existing ICT (off-the-shelves or mature

research results)• Involve significant number of buildings in

each pilot to ensure the proposed solution is relevant for a European wide market

In addition:• Involve public authorities and provide evidence of

timely availability of the energy infrastructures required for the successful implementation of pilots


In addition (cont.):• Demand-driven approach, ensuring acceptance

and uptake, involving end-users throughout the project duration

• Consortium must include ICT providers, distribution network operators, building managers

• Validation must be carried out for at least 1 year in real life conditions and result in a consolidated set of best practices

• Socio-economic evidence for ICT investments should be provided, including users acceptance and recovery of investment


In addition (cont.):• Address interoperability issues, comply with

relevant standards, take into account best practices and relevant standardisation effort

• Provide appropriate ethical & privacy safeguards• Share information and cooperation with other

projects, in particular to define and adopt a common methodology to measure energy gains

• Address experts, public authorities and relevant stakeholders, as well as large public, through dissemination and communication activities

• Specific and realistic quantified indicators to monitor progress should be included


Expected impact:

• Accelerate market acceptance and wide deployment of innovative ICT systems in Europe, leading to substantial energy savings and lower total lifetime costs for users

• Empower building managers and end-users to play a central role in increasing energy efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions

• Contribute to meeting Europe’s energy efficiency targets for 2020

Next steps

• Read carefully the guidelines and the Work Programme 2011
