5. Motivation
1. Energy-Contracting is a proven ‘delivery mechanism’,
but: Market volume behind expectations + energy policy goals
2. Empirical evidence: ESCo market development often driven
by client side, e.g. by public institutions putting out calls for
proposals for ESCos to bid for => buyer-led approach
These clients were enabled by ‘Facilitators’, who served as
intermediaries between ESCOs and their (potential) clients
3. However almost no mention of ‘Facilitators’ in literature or
outside Europe
4. Policy and consultancy puts too little focus on client
perspective on ESP markets

6. Questions to be answered
? What are challenges and barriers on the client side of the
energy service market, when preparing projects and setting
out to procure comprehensive energy service packages?
? Which know-how and processes are needed on the client
side?
? How can potential clients be enabled to become
knowledgeable partners in EE + ESP markets?
? How high are typical ‘Facilitator’ cost?
? Why do we need organizational and individual change
processes?

10. Client perspective summary
1. Some of the tasks to procure comprehensive energy service
packages may constitute significant obstacles for a
potential client, because they require know-how and
experience, which is often not readily available
2. Project implementation commonly necessitates
organizational and personal changes from established
routines, procedures and personal relationships, which is
an often overlooked but persistent obstacle
=> Support needed!

16. ‚Economic rationale‘ or ‚Environmental
awareness‘ is not enough to drive change
“…we want to raise awareness among Facilitators and other
stakeholders, that the identified organizational needs for
change require approaches beyond economic rationale or
environmental awareness. Instead psychological and
organizational change processes need to be put on the
agenda, even though this may be new territory for most energy
efficiency professionals.” [Bleyl et al. 2013]

17. Need for change in client‘s organizations
ESP projects require, e.g.:
ð Non-standard procurement procedures (not individual components)
ð Life cycle cost evaluation and
ð Multi-year financing across Capex and Opex budgets
ð New types of life cycle contracts (performance based, planning +
construction + operation&maintenance, M&V …)
ESP projects require interdisciplinary cooperation between
ð different departments (technical, legal, financial …) and
ð technical divisions/trades (electrical, HVAC, construction …).
⇒ How can this know how and cooperation be enabled/
supported beyond economic and technical rationale?

18. Need for changes in individuals
Resistance to changes because of
ð anticipated loss of power or status,
ð possible extra work or
ð fear of individual failure to cope with innovations …
ð …
=> How can these individual change processes be enabled,
supported, imposed beyond technical and economical
rational?
=> What are the meaningful sticks, carrots and
tambourines?

Questions to be answered, e.g.:
? What are Tools to be used by Facilitators for accompanying
change processes?
? How to strengthen project driving forces?
? Who to partner with?

20. Conclusions:
It’s the Client who must decide!
ü ESCo is just a ‘delivery mechanism’,
which clients need to decide for (or not).
ü Clients need to decide what they want? And what kind of
(external) support they need to implement DSM projects?
ð In-house implementation or Outsourcing (= make or buy)?
ð In- or excluding financing, maintenance …?
ð … state of the art ESCo packages are modular
(packaged according to a clients needs)
⇒ Much more attention on the client/buyer side of the market
needed => mass roll outs possible, e.g. in Berlin, Austria …

21. Conclusions: A Role for ‘Facilitators’ …
1. Facilitators are enablers for ESCo Market development
2. They serve as intermediaries between clients and ESPs
‘(corporate) cultures’, interests and expectations
3. Buyer-led approach enables competition between ESCos,
other EE suppliers but also financiers
4. Facilitator approach provides a level and knowledgeable
playing field for a fair competition
5. F. cost: 1 - 14 % of EE investments. => obstacles for clients.
Often outweighed by maximized savings, lower prices and
better quality
6. Clients need organizational + individual change processes
=> new territory for most energy efficiency professionals

22. Discussion and Outlook
1. Is the Facilitator approach applicable in your context?
2. How to multiply and fund the Facilitator approach?
3. How to establish and standardize procedures in public
and private sector administrations to move from individual
projects, led by highly motivated individuals, to mass roll-outs
of comprehensive building refurbishment portfolios?
4. What are suitable ‘sticks, carrots and tambourines’ but
also practical approaches to enable change processes on
the client side of the market?
5. Compare the buyer-led, facilitation approach to the more
ESCo-led project development practice, which appears to be
prevailing in Anglo-Saxon countries

26. Methodologies
1. Analyses of a standard energy services project life cycle to
identify know-how and processes needed to structure and
outsource comprehensive energy service projects
2. Procurement model for outsourcing: ‘Negotiated procedure’
3. Analyses of ‘Facilitator’ services based on interviews with
existing ESP clients, Facilitators and ESCos
in six European countries and Korea
4. Economic analyses of project facilitation cost relies on empirical
data from 32 “real world” ESCo projects
5. Analyses of change processes based on Kurt Lewin’s Model of
Change: First approach to apply it to change processes in client
organizations and its individuals to outsource demand side energy
projects
