81303447-Implementing Energy Efficiency during refurbishment of non-residential buildings in Morocco

This assignment contributes to the overall indicator of the PEEM project on reduction of energy consumption in 300 buildings as well as strengthening the institutional framework and capacity buildings through-out the sector. The contractor should build on previous measures, use experience, and create synergies with other development cooperation (DC) efforts.

The Contractor is responsible for undertake the following activities to achieve the outputs described in the tender:

1) Implementation of EE measures in refurbishment of 40 non-residential buildings The objective is to carry out the implementation of the EE measures during the refurbishment of 40 non-residential buildings from the following sectors: Hotels, Hospitals, Shopping malls, Office buildings.

The contractor will be in charge of selection of the buildings, energy audits of each building, developing EE action plans, following implementation of energy measures and evaluation of energy savings for each building.

2) Implementing Building Energy Management System The Contractor will develop an approach to assist building owners/managers in the process of introducing a Building Energy Management System from the definition of needs to enhanced operation of the system for 10 buildings.

The Contractor will provide guidance to building owners/managers on how to measure energy performance ranging from developing and using energy performance indicators and energy baselines to identifying equipments and tools (building automation and control systems, metering, energy dashboards,...) required for proper monitoring of energy uses in the building.

3) Developing a strategy for EE refurbishment of existing non-residential buildings The objective is to carry out the preparatory work for the development of a strategy that integrates energy efficiency principles in the refurbishment of non-residential buildings in Morocco.

Desk research will be performed on the practices for EE in existing buildings in EU countries and at least 3 countries within the region or with similar climatic conditions. A compartive analysis will be carried out with respect to the current status for Morocco to identify needs and gaps.

The Contractor will propose a draft national strategy for refurbishment of existing non-residential buildings that will include a proposal for implementation of EE with policy options and the integration of principles and standards of energy efficient refurbishment of buildings into the existing legislation

4) Conduct research to develop building typologies for EE refurbishment of existing buildings The overall objective is to develop building typologies for non-residential buildings including mixed-use buildings (public and private) in the different climatic zones in Morocco.

For this purpose, the Contractor will develop a methodology to analyse the national building stock to extract the building typologies. The criteria for definition of typical buildings will be analysed and described in detail.

It is expected that the Contractor will conduct desk research and specific meetings/interviews with relevant key government institutions and NGOs for data collection on the building stock with respect to different categories of buildings and to gather information on typical buildings in the six climatic zones.

A reference set of building types for each climatic zon will be prepared.

5) Developing simple energy performance simulation model A simple simulation model and tool for the assessment of service life energy performance and costs will be developed to assist building owners or managers in choices for refurbishments.

The tool must enable the economical evaluation of energy efficiency measures with respect to the running costs related to the overall energy performance of the building. It must take into account the maintenance costs, the investment costs (initial, secondary etc.), the life span of building components/equipment involved.

The simulation tool will be user friendly and available as a stand-alone tool in spreadsheets and as a web-based application.

The Contractor will apply the simulation model developed to 2 buildings in each of the four identified sub-sectors for EE refurbishment to prepare the feasibility reports.

A 2-days training workshop will be organised for public and private sector stakeholders to ensure dissemination and use of the simulation.

6) Awareness on EE in existing buildings through seminars and preparation of communication materials for non-residential sectors An information and communication concept on EE that can be adopted by relevant institutions for different non-residential sub-sectors will de developed. 4 regional seminars will be organised for awareness raising and dissemination of the results of the project during the lifetime of the project A set of materials will be prepared for awareness raising on EE in buildings with a focus on building operation and refurbishment. These include: - 4 sectoral guidelines dedicated to the Energy manager and Energy team on implementation of EE measures. - Drafting a brochure on financial support instruments in collaboration with financing institutions for building owners or property developers - Preparing 3 videos for social media targeting maintenance teams, managers and end-users

For the implementation of these activities, the tenderer is required to provide 1 national team leader, 1 national expert pools and 1 international expert pool.
