Introduction
The REEB project (the European strategic research Roadmap to ICT-enabled Energy
Efficiency in Buildings and constructions) is a coordinated action addressing the StrategicObjective "ICT-2007.6.3 ICT for Environmental Management and Energy Efficiency".
This document is the first deliverable of the REEB project's Work package 2: Inventory
of Best Practices. The aim of this workpackage is to produce a summary of identified best
practices (collected in countries of participating partners, but also all over Europe thanks to
National and European communities developed in WP1) for use of ICT applications and tools
for Energy Efficiency in Europe and world-wide, then selecting a small set of most
representative practices as detailed examples.
As a first step in WP2, the task T2.1 aims to provide a comprehensive identification of
functionalities and associated criteria for selection of Best Practices considering ICT-based
Energy Efficiency in the Construction, including aspects related to business processes and
information management practices, with the objective of identifying the today mostexemplary scientific approach and (industry) business process.
The business focus of this task targets resource efficiency and clean buildings,
innovative components (with embedded devices) & software for new buildings, insulation
improvement, installations enhancements (in relation to heating, ventilation, hot water, ),
renewable energies integration, etc.
As a preliminary work, this document will only be sent to the partners and the EC
representative.
All partners contributed to the identification of criteria and selection of Best Practices.
CSTB gave some helpful suggestions concerning the description template used to collect bestpractices projects from the REEB partners. CEA acted as coordinator of the work package.
The results presented in this document will be used by all partners in the REEB project,
and particularly by the WP4 and WP5 contributors, as explained in section B1.3 of the REEB
Annex 1 - "Description of work".

1.Identification of criteria
The selection of Best Practices first requires the identification of a set of criteria, or
characteristics, which will permit to choose and classify the Best Practices examples.The list of criteria has been created from discussions that took place during the 2008 REEB
meetings, between the REEB partners. CEA internal discussions then led to a slightly
modified list of criteria.
1.1Different phases in a building's life-cycle
From a global point of view, the life-cycle of a building can be separated into 5 different
phases, which are:
o The Programming phase: when the client (the owner of the future building) defines the
general requirements of the project (use of the building, number of people who will workor live inside, etc.),
o TheDesign phase: when the designer and engineer precisely define the final look of thebuilding, the technical aspects in terms of heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting,
o The Construction phase: when the builder actually realises the final building, followingthe instructions defined by the designer,
o The Operation phase: when the users or inhabitants operate the building. This phase alsoincludes the necessary maintenance of components and systems included in the building,
along with potential renovation programs,
o
The Demolition phase: reaching the building's end-of-life, when the owner takes thedecision to destroy the building and recycle waste materials.
Regarding energy efficiency, ICT can be used at every step of this cycle. The first axis in the
criteria matrix will then be the building's life-cycle phase in which the ICT will have an
impact on energy efficiency.
1.2Transversal criteria
In addition to the phases identified in the previous section, others aspects need to be added to
the criteria's list in order to better describe the application field of an ICT regarding building
energy efficiency.1. Climate: an important aspect of the applicability of a technology is the climate for which itis designed or under which it is the most efficient. As the REEB project is a European project,
the following four climates are listed : northern, continental, southern and oceanic.
2. Type of Application: ICT can be used in various scopes in a building's life-cycle, amongwhichDesign & Conception,Monitoring & Control, Operation & Maintenance, or following
a Socio-Technical purpose.
3. Level of Complexity: in a building, ICT can be applied at different levels : in components,systems, or integrated systems.
4. Implementation mode: ICT can be used as a new methodology in order to improve aprocess, can take the form of a new model in a design software, or of a control strategy in a

Global Management System. They can also be implemented in embedded components,
communication systems, or software systems.
5. Nature of impact: in terms of energy uses in a building, ICT can have an impact on themain energy uses like heating, ventilation, cooling, lighting andDHW.
Remark:
It has to be stated that the current study focuses on Energy Efficiency (during the life-cycle of
the building, as described in section 1.1), and hence does not take into account the Embedded
Energy of materials used for construction, as considered in a full Life-Cycle Analysis (LCA)
1.3Resulting matrix
A matrix describing the previous concepts has been created and is displayed on Figure 1.1.
Figure 1.1 - Description matrix to be used to classify ICT for EE in buildings - proposal
This matrix will be used to describe each Best Practice example given in the next sections of
this report, thus permitting to identify in a short glance the main characteristics of each
project.

2.Selection of best practices
2.1Contributions from REEB partners - methodology
In order to gather all contributions from the REEB partners, a short description form has been
created, in collaboration with CSTB. The resulting document can be found in Appendix A.
The form has then been sent to all REEB partners on 10/24/2008. The partners were requested
to send back the forms by 11/07/2008.
By beginning of December 2008, here is the list of completed forms that have been sent back
to CEA:
- CSTB : 3 BP examples- Acciona : 2 BP examples- Labein : 2 BP examples- CEA : 1 BP example- VTT : 2 BP examples- UCC : 1 BP example
2.2Projects identified as Best Practices
This section summarizes all Best Practices examples sent by the REEB partners. For each
project or concept a short description is given, and some relevant details are added. The full
forms sent by the REEB partners are listed in Appendix B.
2.2.1CSTB - France - ERDF smart meters deployment
Description :
ERDF is a subsidiary of EDF and the largest electricity distribution network in the European
Union, and has launched a major transformation program that will see the replacement of 35
million electricity meters in France, beginning with a pilot trial of 300,000 meters.
ERDF has selected Atos Origin as architect for the information system and lead manager of
the consortium of technology firms that will conduct the pilot phase.
New smart meters are able to transmit and receive data for remote reading and optimized
network management.
Installing millions of these new meters is in itself a massive undertaking that will also
generate huge volumes of data to be transmitted, stored and processed.
A pilot phase is planned for 2008-2010 in a city area (Lyon) and in a rural area (near Tours)
which consists in replacing 300,000 meters by smart ones provided by a company named
Actaris.
ERDF has selected the Power Line Carrier (PLC) protocol for the project. Designed by Atos
Origin and its partners, this protocol enables metering hardware interoperability and sourcing
of equipment from different vendors. PLC is used for the exchange of data between the
meters and the concentrators. Then RTC / GSM / GPRS / WiMax or Internet, are used to link
the concentrators with the main AMM Information System (ERDF Control dashboard).

This project will see the installation of 35 million smart meters and 700,000 concentrators,
making it the largest-ever European program in this sector and a new benchmark at the
European level. Smart meters are one of the key elements towards a better management of
energy consumptions in buildings.

The "Energie Box" solution uses the following technological component : Meter Readers (and
radio module), AMR Gateway connected to a wireless GPRS network or to a DSL/Cable
router over a LAN connection, middleware server IDeMS (parameters, firmware version,
remote troubleshooting), back-office (reporting to users, algorithms, alerts by email, SMS,
phone). The solution is based on standard field-proven technologies (TCP/IP, GPRS, EN13757-4, XML)
Several energy providers in Europe have (or are currently building) a similar offer than the
"energie box" made by Edelia for EDF customers (e.g. the POWEO Energy box for POWEO
customers). The deployment of smart meters with pre-built embedded functionalities for
energy monitoring and reporting should contribute to expand the growth of such services and
products. Furthermore, thanks to smart meters the service should improve in terms of
reliability and accuracy.

December 15th, 2008 Page 12
ENOLEO markets the Vega RW hardware & software solution which aims at optimizing
energy efficiency by integrating all existing equipments of the building and offering a
comprehensive supervision dashboard allowing to pilot, analyze and optimize the installation.
The VEGA RW solution integrates natively the latest ICT standards (XML communication,
non proprietary hardware components) and relies on a "full web" ergonomic user interface.
This case study has been selected because it is piloted by a young innovative company (SME)
which focuses its business on developing and commercializing ICT solutions for EE in
buildings. ENOLEO has chosen to be based on Monaco, which is known for its sustainable
development policy. The company won a prize from the Junior Chamber of commerce of
Monaco in 2007. The company is currently working to expand the support of renewable
energies in its system.
This sample illustrates the business opportunities for small companies in the ICT for EE in
buildings domain.

- and the energy produced by renewables: solar, biodiesel and geothermal (using buried
pipes to add hot or cold air when necessary)
This leads to a CO2free balance, CO2 being the main greenhouse gas causing global
warming.
ICT are used to control all the active systems in the building, through a programmable PLC :
- 90 temperature sensors
- 1 solar radiation sensor
- 5 units of powered gates
The same PLC is used to monitor the building and controls the energy that is consumed and
produced :
- 7 heat energy meters
- 10 electric meters
The system uses different strategies to control the air flows depending on the orientation of
the fronts.
Calculations show that the higher investment in the zero emissions building is paid back in
ten years.

2.2.8CEA - France - ALLP building renovation project
Description :
This project consists in the renovation of an office building achieved in 1974, equipped with a
recently installed 350 kW gas boiler (2004).The building's energetic performance was poor
due to low-grade insulation and lots of cold bridges.
The objective was to improve the energy efficiency of the building, in terms of heating,cooling, lighting and ventilation in order to reach a final performance of 60 kWh/m/year
(primary energy).
The following concept was applied : first, using a global approach focusing on total energy
consumption and CO2 emissions, simulations of the whole building were performed in order
to identify the optimum technical choices. These choices have been based on dynamic thermic
simulation and have been used for the programmation of the operation and for the
architectural work.
During the building retrofitting, dynamic thermic simulations have been exploited to help inthe components final choice (FCU and water loops temperature range mainly).
The second step in the concept consists in a heavy monitoring and control system that is used
to quantify real gains and operational problems or mistakes in the original simulations or
hypotheses.
ICT used in the project :
- Simulation tool : TRNSys- Wireless sensors and switches- Web-based integrated monitoring platform

2.2.9VTT - Finland - MagiCAD software
Description :
The MagiCAD software is a model (BIM) based CAD system for building services systems
design and analysis, including modules dedicated to heating & piping, ventilation, electrical,room, comfort & energy. It also features an extensive catalogue with hundreds of thousands
of products from 50+ suppliers, integrated energy and comfort simulations and can be used
for preparation of energy declarations of buildings. It is compliant with the latest IFC2x3
standard and other IFC compatible solutions e.g. AutoCAD Architecture, ArchiCAD, Tekla,
Nemetscheck and NavisWorks.
This software has been selected as a Best Practice example regarding ICT applied to EE in
buildings for the 2 following reasons :
(1) Technical reason = Advanced model (BIM) -based CAD system targeted especially for
building services systems.
(2) Practical reason = Integrates EE and other aspects as parts of holistic design thus avoidingto overload design with extra activities and additional tools for EE.

2.3First conclusions drawn after analysis of the identified projects
2.3.1Scope of current BP examples
All examples only focus on 2 specific phases in the life-cycle of a building, as described in
section 1.1 : Design and Operation.
Several questions arise from the previous comment:
1. Does this mean that ICT are never used to improve EE in the 3 other phases of a building's
life-cycle: Programming, Construction or Demolition ?2. Does the REEB consortium need to investigate on these topics?
Question #1 needs to be addressed in the next tasks of this work package. Additional
investigations are needed in order to identify the current use of ICT in the Programming,
Construction and Demolition phases of a building's life-cycle.
Question #2 will partly depend on the answers to the previous question. The partners will
have to decide if there is a need, in the scope of the REEB project, to further investigate on
the subject. Identification of potential energy gains will most probably be very useful in the
decision process.

2.3.2Type of current BP examples
Two very different types of BP examples appear in the current list:
1. Examples of monitoring devices, services or software in combination with user-friendlyaccess to periodic energy consumption reports. These innovative systems can help the
user and/or owner to identifypotential energy savings through a close monitoring of the
energy consumption and an easier detection of deviations. However, the effective energy
savings (and thus the effective energy efficiency) heavily depends on the user's decisions
in the scope of energy consumption.
2. Examples of actual projects or buildings that use ICTs at design and/or operation phase inorder to improve the energy efficiency of the final building, leading to actual energy
gains, which however often need to be precisely estimated after a monitoring period that
is sometimes not performed.
In order to improve the accuracy of the future REEB Best Practices guide, a precise definition
of the concept of "Best Practice" should be agreed upon. Both previous descriptions couldapply, but it could be useful to mention the scope and limitations of each of them. The main
question is about actual estimated savings andpotential ones, depending on users decisions.

3.Next steps
3.1Correction/improvement of the selection process
The BP examples sent by the REEB partners lead to the following statements:
1. a "monitoring services" oriented approach need to be taken into account in the BestPractices selection process,
2. the Best Practice concept and its scope need to be precisely defined,3. a decision has to be taken on the scope of the Best Practices investigations by the partners
and the WP2 leader,
The proposal is to add these topics to the agenda of future meetings between REEB partners,
so that an agreement can be reached and common definitions can be decided.
3.2Identification of other best practices projects
From the decisions and global orientations defined in future consortium meetings, as
explained in the previous section, the precise scope and extension of the "Best Practice"
concept will be defined.
This important step will allow going on with the identification and selection of Best Practices.
In order to improve the quality, enlarge the scope and increase the variety of the selected Best
Practices that will be included in the Best Practice Guide, additional investigations will have
to be performed in the next period of the project. Most of the resources to fulfil this task will
come from CEA, leader of the WP2.
CEA will concentrate its efforts in 1) investigating national and international publications, 2)
participating to national and European conferences and 3) organising some visits with ICTcompanies involved in Energy Efficiency in the Construction.
Other partners will be asked to contribute, either by giving names of contacts or sending
valuable information to CEA.

Short description(please describe the project - 10 lines maximum)
This project consists in the renovation of an office building achieved in 1974,equipped with a recently installed 350 kW gas boiler (2004).The building's energeticperformance was poor due to low-grade insulation and lots of cold bridges.The objective was to improve the energy efficiency of the building, in terms ofheating, cooling, lighting and ventilation in order to reach a final performance of 60kWh/m/year (primary energy).The following concept was applied : first, using a global approach focusing on totalenergy consumption and CO2 emissions, simulations of the whole building wereperformed in order to identify the optimum technical choices. These choices have

been based on dynamic thermic simulation and have been used for theprogrammation of the operation and for the architectural work.During the building retrofitting, dynamic thermic simulations have been exploited tohelp in the components final choice (FCU and water loops temperature range
mainly).The second step in the concept consists in a heavy monitoring and control systemthat is used to quantify real gains and operational problems or mistakes in theoriginal simulations or hypotheses.
