Public Lighting and Energy Saving in Italy The plan of the Italian Government for road and public area lighting and the new MD

2 Public Lighting and Energy Saving in Italy Electricity 2014 – Eilat – December 4 th 2014 The Italian Ministry of the Environment introduced on Decembre 23rd 2013 the new DM (Decree of the Ministry of Environment) on the Minimum Environmental Criteria (MEC) for Public Lighting. It’s a national action plan on Green Public Procurement for the purchase of:  conventional lamps and LED modules  luminaires and the definition of the design process. The new rule for public lighting in Italy Introduction of the new Decree DM

3 Public Lighting and Energy Saving in Italy Electricity 2014 – Eilat – December 4 th 2014 MD Minimum Environmental Criteria (MEC) A push on reasearch and innovation It replaced the previuos first version issued on 2011, introducing some new light criteria on the selection of lamps and luminaires for public lighting. Luminaires that matched the criteria:  20% on 2011  90% on 2012 Great impact on research and innovation

4 Public Lighting and Energy Saving in Italy Electricity 2014 – Eilat – December 4 th 2014 MD Minimum Environmental Criteria (MEC) The new MD , developed by ENEA (national research center) with the contribution of Hera Luce (Italian ESCO) and 2 Italian engineers, Alessandro Battistini and Matteo Seraceni, takes into consideration: The new MD: a challenge for environmental sustainability This allows to define the global product cost including environmental ones, like the contribution to global heating  Total Cost Ownership (TCO = product purchase + maintenance + energy consumption)  Life Cycle Assessment (LCA = environmental costs)

5 Public Lighting and Energy Saving in Italy Electricity 2014 – Eilat – December 4 th 2014 Minimum cost + highly technical products Selection of products/solutions with:  most economically advantageous impact  highest possible technological content achieved through Award Criteria MD Minimum Environmental Criteria (MEC) In this way it is intended to reward innovation and excellence, bringing out the deals that qualify for features and more sustainable performance

6 Public Lighting and Energy Saving in Italy Electricity 2014 – Eilat – December 4 th 2014 The county goal To obtain a saving of more than 30% of the total cost for public lighting MD Minimum Environmental Criteria (MEC) Current total energy cost € Average minimum saving goal 30% Minimum saving €

7 Public Lighting and Energy Saving in Italy Electricity 2014 – Eilat – December 4 th 2014 The main goals in details  Safety and visual comfort  Reduction of energy consumption  Reduction of light pollution  Design, installation and management carried out by qualified professionals  Reduction of all maintenance operations  Certification of products and product data  Reduction of time dedicated to product data management  System management automation (remote-control) MD Minimum Environmental Criteria (MEC)
