  Investment Financed 100% by the awarded ESCo, under the EPC scheme

• Financial Barrier:
  • Procurement procedure
  • Other
• Public Benefits:
  • Increased employment
  • Lower emissions
  • Outreach and awareness
  • Improved quality (# of people affected)
  • Other social benefits

  
  

  • Increased employment: 5 employees • Lower emissions: 1469 ton CO2/Annualy • Improvements to public budget: Iinformation not available. • Outreach and awareness: Published a video on this specific EPC project. • Improved quality (# of people affected): The quality of environment for sportmen and workers improved. • Other social benefits: Increasing employment, economic growth, environmentally friendly energy source, increased value, Improved energy balance of the local environment, increased security and reliability of supply of thermal energy.

• Technical Assistance:

  Yes, for energy audit. In fact the audit was performed by an engineering company and that work was outsourced by ICAEN who was the facilitator

• Measurement reporting & verification:

  • The ESCO has developed a M&V plan to report savings and a third party company (Engineering company), contracted by CAR Sport Complex checks for savings • Last report for the savings (2016) have stated the following figures: Savings in ____ Guaranteed ACHIEVED Energy (kWh) Economic (€) Energy (kWh) Economic (€) Electricity 3.150.338 364.400 3.122.715 361.205 Natural Gas / Fuel oil 1.773.229 78.873 1.171.854 52.124 • Total tons of CO2 emissions avoided has been in 2016 of 1016

• Is the implementation model part of a larger implementation scheme:

  A facilitiator team in ICAEN is dedicated to promote and foster EPC projects within the public buildings of the Catalan government. The term Energy Performance Contracting (or EPC) is a business model in which a site owner outsources energy services to a third party for a defined period. This means that energy is supplied and/or comprehensive energy saving measures are implemented by an energy contractor, rather than by the owner. The energy contractor is a specialist service company that takes on all of the tasks (e.g. planning, construction, financing and operational management of a heating plant) as well as the risks associated with the energy service.

• Replication/transfer/upscale:

  No.
