Display - Objectives

• Running a Campaign for the implementation of a poster displaying CO2 emissions as well as energy and water consumption in municipal buildings

• Anticipating the entry into force and transposition of the Buildings Directive by encouraging a “bottom-up” approach


« Buildings » Directive article 7…

• “Member States shall take measures to ensure that for buildings with a total useful floor area over 1,000 m2 occupied by public authorities and by institutions providing public services to a large number of persons and therefore frequently visited by these persons an energy certificate, not older than 10 years, is placed in a prominent place clearly visible to the public.

• The range of recommended and current indoor temperatures

and, when appropriate, other relevant climatic factors may also be clearly displayed.”


Assets of Display• Makes energy and climate issues

comprehensible to non-specialists

• Encourages the population to take action

• Promotes the local authority’s in-house initiatives

• Has been elaborated with and by the cities

• Can be used everywhere in Europe


Some of the cities involved:

…Almada (PT)Charleroi (BE)Cork County (IE)Frankfurt (DE)Gijón (ES)Graz (AT)Helsinki (FI)

Iasi (RO)Lausanne (CH)Leicester (UK) Lubochna (SK)Malmö (SE)Milton Keynes (UK)Modena (IT)

Pécs (HU)Newcastle (UK)Odense (DK)Rennes (FR)Rochefort (FR)Samokov (BG) Utrecht (NL)…

July 2006: 170 local authorities involved, 25 in the UK


The Display Poster• Aimed at being displayed in the building

• Edited by the city’s energy manager on the basis of a calculation tool, available on-line at:

www.display-campaign.org

• Calculation tool: Calculation of energy, water and CO2

consumption ratios Classification of the buildings, ranging from A

to G (cf. household appliances)

Simple, easily communicable

Common for all European cities


Exhibit: Display Poster


Sections “Towards a class A building”

and “Energy Sources”


The Display Poster• Display of the provenance of the

building’s energy sources • Comparisons in order to illustrate

possible energy savings• Information about planned and already

implemented measures• Possibilities to obtain further information

by:• Contacting the city’s energy manager• Examining the campaign’s website

Website

Public area informing about the project by:

• Informing on the participating cities

• Exhibiting “Examples to follow”

• Presenting events related to Display

• Explaining how to join


WebsiteRestricted area

• Edit one’s poster

• Modelling of different scenario,

e.g. in order to test the impact of change in

energy provision

• Exchange experiences with other cities -

Display forum


Calculation tool Data to key in

1- quantitative

• Final energy consumed in the building (per energy source and use)

• Gross internal floor area of the building

On-line help: a “user’s guide”


Exhibit: Energy and water consumption


Exhibit: Details about used energy sources


Calculation ToolData to key in

2- qualitative

• Practical tips or simple actions (voluntary)

• Technical solutions already realised or planned in this building for the short and mid-term (mandatory)

On-line help : a “user’s guide”


Exhibit: Improving performance


Calculation ToolTransparent methodology

• Entirely explained

• Used data (sources) accessible to everybody

• Validated by the experts

• Can be verified step by step manually with

the user’s guide

Result: the Display label


Monitoring and benchmarking tool…

• Complementary to existing data bases

• Useful to:>> Evaluate Local authority plan for the improvement of energy performance

>>> Compare with other cities located in the same climatic area

>>>> Advances at your own speed


How to Join Display?• Any European local authority may

participate, regardless of:• its size• the existing building stock• its level of knowledge regarding its

buildings’ performance• Sign membership charter!

• Free for download on the Campaign’s website
