ButK. Project Summary.

• Bottom up to Kyoto (ButK) is a pilot project
  that aims to enable the municipalities across
  Europe to make the switch to efficient street
  lighting systems. In 36 months, 5 municipalities
  in the European Union will develop new tools to
  make it possible. ButK intends to be a model in
  the street lighting field that might be of use
  for all municipalities in Europe, and to prove
  that the switch to efficient lighting systems is
  possible and beneficial.
• Particularly, ButK will
• Remove barriers to uptake of energy efficient
  lighting systems.
• Provide energy and cost savings.
• -Help the Member States to meet the Kyoto
  targets.
• The European Lamp Manufacturers (ELC), the
  Electrical Wholesalers (EUEW) and the Electrical
  Installers (AIE), together with an Energy
  Performance contractor, Berliner Energieagentur
  GmbH, will assist these municipalities (Cluj,
  Raciechowice, Riga, Slovenska-Bistrica and Voru)
  and help them to achieve significant energy
  savings at a local level bottom up!

ButK. Background.

• The European Union has committed, under the Kyoto
  Protocol, to reduce the CO2 emissions into the
  atmosphere, as part of the fight against climate
  change. Efficient lighting can contribute to
  achieve this important goal. This can be
  illustrated by the fact that by 2010, a total of
  180 million tones of CO2 could be prevented with
  energy-efficient products and appliances.
• However, some market obstacles can prevent this
  from happening
• Higher purchase price (compared to a lower
  life-cycle cost),
• Little or no understanding of the long term
  benefits, etc.
• These opportunities and problems will be tackled
  by ButK at a local level. The projects aim is
  to offer the municipalities with tools that
  enable them to make efficient use of their
  resources whilst reducing energy pollutants into
  the atmosphere. The challenge that ButK poses
  to the EU is relevant in the sense that it
  combines the need to fight against climate change
  and to raise awareness of the need to adopt
  energy efficient behaviors that help us achieve
  the Kyoto goals.

ButK. Objectives and main steps.

• The objectives set by ButK are
• Analyse the consumption of CO2 per capita, in
  order to calculate its potential savings and
  costs.
• Offer technical and economical feasibility of
  energy saving solutions.
• Identify energy service companies (ESCOs).
• Prepare energy performance contracts.
• Tailor-make solutions designed at local level
  find a best-practice model that can be replicated
  across Europe.
• In conjunction with an energy performance
  contractor located in Germany, the municipalities
  will be able to carry out their current
  calculations of CO2 emissions in order to draw up
  a suitable plan to switch to efficient street
  lighting system, reduce their emissions and
  generate savings from this. This will be
  implemented through a public tendering process
  where all ESCOs will be invited to participate.

ButK. Expected results.

• ButK is a pilot project that intends to be a
  model for all municipalities in Europe to switch
  to efficient street lighting systems. After an
  in-depth analysis of the status quo in the 5
  municipalities where the project will be carried
  out, standard calls for tender will be produced
  containing the most important requirements. These
  calls for tender can be replicated in any
  municipality in Europe, only after adaptation to
  their particular conditions, such as the local
  regulatory framework, etc. Likewise, a method of
  calculation of CO2 emissions adapted to lighting,
  will be produced.
• In general, the ButK project aims at resulting
  in
• Short, medium and long term CO2 emission
  reductions.
• A removal of the market barriers.
• Medium and long term solutions for municipalities
  that can be replicated in other municipalities.
• Increased penetration of energy efficient
  lighting.
• A greater market for energy services in Europe.
• Intelligence for future innovations for the lamp
  industry.
