• The energy manager is an analytical tool that monitors the operation of buildings, measures
against optimal rules and generates KPIs with alerts and incidents. The system detects
opportunities for optimizing the operation of buildings, saves energy with energy efficient
management of the facilities and extends the useful life of the equipment. For example, the
50-50 Project is a collaborative programme with the educational community that enables
citizens and schoolchildren to visualize the total savings per school in electricity, gas and water
consumption, as well as reduction of CO emissions. Half of the economic savings achieved
2
annually – amounting to an average of about EUR 48 000 – is for the educational centres
themselves and the other half is used by the city council to invest in improving educational
centres, as agreed with the energy managers, who are the schoolchildren.

• The direct purchase of energy in the free market and the sale of energy from photovoltaic
production generated from more than 35 photovoltaic installations, and two reserved for self-
consumption have resulted in large economic savings as well as reduction of CO emissions,

which are critical elements in the Rivasmart strategy.
