The priciple of EPC
"We will leave a steam engine free
of charge to you. We will install
these and will take over for five
years the customer service.
We guarantee you that the coal for
the machine costs less, than you
must spend at present at fodder
(energy) on the horses, which do
the same work.
And everything that we require of
you, is that you give us a third of
the money, which you save."
James Watt, 18th century

EPC as an implementation model
Why are so many measures
not being implemented?
1. no time
2. no money
3. lack of know-how
4. lack of trust
the ESCO:
designs and implements
invests money
is an expert
guarantees performance
