The Goals of the EU Call ICT-PSP
Objective:
Implement the Pilot Actions to improve, through ICT-based solutions, energy efficiency in European public buildings (e.g. schools, hospitals, administrative offices)
Pilot Actions should:
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;
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.

The EDISON project idea…
Create an innovative smart metering lighting system for European public buildings based on a DC power-supply to replace the actual AC systems
Create a full value chain of interested actors:
Public building holders and Administrators, Real Estate Co’s;
Municipalities, Universities, Expo centers, Shopping Malls, etc.;
Electronic control and monitoring system market operators (HVAC, Lighting, Alarms, Smart Grids, etc.) ;
Utilities offer, white and green certifications addressing the EU targets of energy saving.

…based on a technological innovation
EDISON project will combine
fine-grain sensor and control technologies with a low voltage DC-powered network of highly efficient LED lighting to realize a Smart Energy Platform (SEP)
The synergy
This combination can provide more than 60-70% reduction in ongoing electricity costs and facilities managers with the possibility to maximize energy conservation strategies such as dimming, daylight harvesting, demand response, peak reduction and activity sensing in controlling non-critical lighting without disturbing occupants (low impact Edison implementation).

The Technical Architecture
Perugia Green Days, 17_20 maggio 2012

8. The General Objectives
In other words:
The implementation of an “ad hoc” lighting power supply (PowerLan), and its integration with a Smart Energy Platform (SEP), could represent a radical change to help small-medium public administrations reduce energy costs, by having evidence of the energy efficiency and production actions in real time; furthermore, the goal is to evaluate as final balance, through specific tools, the energy saving efficiency;
Facilitate the energy retrofitting of buildings and the design of new buildings considering the cost savings resulting from the usage of the PoweLAN solution;
Accelerate market acceptance and wide deployment of Smart Solid State Lamp (SSL) Systems for substantial energy saving policy and a better quality lighting;
Increase European industry competitiveness in lighting and lighting control systems;
Contribute to EU standardization in energy efficiency and lighting systems.

10. A Brief Description of the Pilot Locations/1
PREMISES DESCRIPTION
Manoppello - MNP
- The Pilot involved the elementary school in the Manoppello Scalo Municipality.
The Building has two floors for about 800 m2 for a volume of about 5000 m3. In the building there are 13 class- rooms and 9 rooms dedicated to complementary functions, with 120 light points.
The outdoor lamps, located in surrounding area of the building are almost 10.
Roccamontepiano - RMP
- Pilots will involve three different public buildings: the first one dedicated to the main Municipality offices, the second one dedicated to the Civic Lisio Museum, and the last one is the seat of Elementary and Secondary School.
- The Municipality building has two floors for a volume of about 1200 m3 with about 30 light points.
- The Lisio Museum has a single floor for a volume of about 400 m3 with about 20 light points.
The school building has three floors for a volume of about 3500 m3, with 40 class-rooms, and a total of 150 light points.
As total, we have 200 indoor lamps and 15 outdoor lamps.
Belfast –SMK/SHT
The EDISON trials in Northern Ireland will involve specific aspects of energy efficiency in public buildings that concern health provision.
Two trials will be carried out in the premises of a major local government healthcare provider.
Each trial will demonstrate the ongoing efficiency savings in two very different scenarios: (i) an operational hospital ward and (ii) a typical office environment.
The Pilot will involve about lighting points.

11. A Brief Description of the Pilot Locations/2
PREMISES DESCRIPTION
Brussels - VUB
The pilot will involve the VUB building which is equipped with 3 architectural structures called “Rotules” which locate the stairs, the elevator corridors and the sanitary facilities.
Moreover, the Computational Modelling Laboratory (COMO Lab) area on the 10th floor of VUB building G will be interested.
The COMO Lab area is a landscape office and a demonstration area for small robots for research in Artificial Intelligence. The Pilot will involve about 1200 lighting points.
Naples - IDIS
The pilot will be implemented in the Science Center is made up of the two adjoining buildings and of the surrounding outdoor spaces.
The interior lighting of both buildings is made up of 150w metal halide lights, installed on the top of the pillars.
As concerns the outdoor lighting equipment, it is basically characterized by two types of lamps, metal halide and sodium vapor ones.
- T he lamps are totally Therefore, the estimated total annual consumption is 181 MWh.
Lettomanoppello – LMP
The pilot involves two public buildings, the first one dedicated to the Municipality offices and a second one seat of the Municipality theatre.
The first building has three floors for about 1200 m2. In this first building there are about 100 of light points.
The second building is the seat of the municipality Theatre, for about 400 m2, with about 200 seating with about 100 light points and a light system dedicated to the back stage and to the service rooms.
The number of indoor lamps to be replaced is almost 250, and the outdoor/garage lamps sum 30.

13. Exploitation of Results
There is the possibility to extend this solution to all public/private administration buildings by requesting it to the EDISON Project Manager (Prof. Ing. Dario Di Zenobio, FUB)
Join the project, as a pilot site, is possible for any public/private administration
To be involved, the unique cost charged is the one necessary for replacing existing lamps with energy-efficient LED
This implementation allows energy consumption savings, the adoption of an innovative energy efficiency solution and national and international visibility.
