This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
This is a new strategy in the procurement of new construction projects regarding that has an impact on the energy effecuincy. Instead of demanding absolute energy demands for the buildings or requesting specific technical solutions, they place a maximum energy demand, for example maximum 70 kWh/m2/year. It gives the entrepreneur the freedom to fins the best solutio
As a reference Östersundshem takes 50 years of energy consumption from the each option into account when they evaluate the best option from the entrepreneurs.
An also the entrepreneurs have to calculate how the investments regarding engergy efficiency will show how to be profitable in a time span of 50 year.
In this procurement strategy entrepreneurs can give tenders based on their best practices. This model gives the entrepreneurs a chance to be innovative, and Östersundshem get a long-term view on energy consumption and costs. This metod could also be applied to renovations.
Regional context
We believe that the model can be implemented in many regions. Perhaps it may drive the implementation of new technologies in rural areas, where it can sometimes take longer before the new technology is established.
Strengths/weaknesses
It may require a lot of knowledge and expertise to evaluate the various options and their technical solutions.
It is important to require warranty management where the supplier promises to deliver what is to be agreed. Otherwise, compensation will be paid if it is not achieved.

Evidence of success
The two procurements that has been done whit this metod showes a 10 % lower energy consumption in the Buildings.
Then long-term perspektive is used (50 years of energy consumption) the solutions are both energy efficient and economic.
The Fagerskrapan is a very good result were the entrepreneurs included a 2 year op. service of the heating and engergy system of the buiding. It has reached the requirements by a large margin and classification standard silver for the building, gold for energy.
