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 20-20-20 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 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.

A Brief Description of the Pilot Locations/1
PILOT LOCATION
PREMISES DESCRIPTION
- 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 classManoppello - MNP 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.
- 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.
Roccamontepiano - - 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.
RMP
-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 200-300 lighting points.

A Brief Description of the Pilot Locations/2
PILOT LOCATION
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 167 . 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.

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.
