The combination of these actions and their continuation for raising awareness and implementing abatement measures
over time have led to a significant abatement of emissions. for emissions and energy consumption in the private sector,
in other public institutions and among citizens, taking
advantage of our municipality's proven capacity.
After analysing energy demand and emissions generated in the different sectors of activity in the municipality of Madrid,
the following general objectives form the basis of the Plan's development:
• Contribution to national Kyoto targets: contribute to the target of curbing the increase of emissions to 37%
above 1990 levels, in the period 2008-2012, within the framework of the Spanish Climate Change and Clean Energy
Strategy. (The national objective of 37% has been distributed as follows: a 15% increase for the commitment to Kyoto,
a 20% increase to be covered with flexibility mechanisms and 2% to be covered with sinks).
In contributing to this national target, this Plan lays down the following quantitative goal:

change beyond 2012 in a way that is coherent with the conclusions of the Spring 2007 Council of Heads of State or
Government of the European Union relating to:
- achieving an overall emissions reduction of 20% with respect to 1990 by the 2020 horizon, extendable to 30%, if
other industrialised countries and developing countries take on equivalent commitments in accordance with their
capacities.
- achieving a 20% increase in energy efficiency in the EU and a 20% quota of renewable energies in all energy consumed

• Reduce the external energy dependence of the city of Madrid while improving supply guarantee, quality and security.
• Increase the capacity to absorb carbon from the atmosphere with plant formations.
• Increase public awareness about rational energy use and climate change.
• Promote knowledge of the causes and effects of climate change from an urban point of view and, in
particular, so as to anticipate the main impacts on the city of Madrid and any possible adaptation measures to minimise
or prevent them.
• Promote the city of Madrid's participation in forums of cooperation at institutional, national and
international level, on clean energies and the battle against climate change.
To achieve the measures proposed, a series of emission abatement measures are proposed in five sectors of activity (residential,
commercial and institutional, transport, waste management, industry and sinks), together with transversal and adaptation
measures, to configure an Action Plan.
• Targets and goals: targets and goals are set in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to improve energy
efficiency, shaping Madrid City Council's commitments to action.
• Applicable measures: a series of 55 measures are set to contribute to achieving the targets established (49 abatement
measures and 6 adaptation measures). These measures are also classified by sector of activity, transversal and adaptation
measures and they are described in information files on each measure: general description, schedule of implementation,
budget and estimated reduction of emissions associated.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which reports its findings to the UNFCCC, has come to the following
conclusions:
• Estimated temperature increase between 1.4º and 5.8º over the 1990-2100 period.
• Estimated increase in sea level, in the same period, of between 9 and 88 cm.
• Modifications to the precipitation distribution regime.
• Worsening of droughts, particularly in southern Europe.
• Greater frequency and intensity of extreme meteorological phenomena.
• Decrease in agricultural production capacity in large areas of Africa and Asia.

One of the city of Madrid's main sources of primary energy is urban waste and biogas. These are used to generate electric
power, representing 40% of the total generated in the municipality.
Total primary energy obtained in the municipality amounts to nearly 108 Ktoe (excluding cogeneration based on imported
energy, which amounts to 128 Ktoe), representing 2.6% of the total energy consumed in the municipality per year and

Promoting social research into the sustainable use of energy and climate change
Heading 12 prevention.
One of the main measures to orient awareness, understanding and training campaigns on climate change is
promoting social research on how society perceives climate change, its levels of knowledge on the subject,
the relationship between the global effects of climate change and actions at local and individual level, and
the effects on human health.
The conclusions and approaches of this type of research, by social sector, will help design and plan actions
on communication, education and training and on more directed, holistic participation. Consequently, this
plan aims to encourage areas of research to explore the mechanisms that operate in shaping climate change
in the collective consciousness and, on the basis of this social representation, adapt the necessary measures
on communication, training, education and participation.

Cooperation Projects 100,000 annual.
Action plan
Although Madrid City Council does not have jurisdiction in planning and supervising energy distribution
networks, the municipal authority is responsible for granting the necessary licenses to distribution companies
for undertaking works.
Regardless of restrictions arising from the framework of competences, coordination must be improved in order
to enlarge, renew and maintain existing networks and ensure supply guarantee all over the municipal area.
Accordingly, Madrid City Council plans to set up a series of communication channels to help improve the
service to citizens, institutions and companies. To do so, the City Council considers the most effective way
to work is on the basis of a series Coordination Platforms where, apart from the City Council, other involved
stakeholders or institutions like the Community of Madrid and the distribution companies are represented.
The Coordination Platforms will be one of the reference points for addressing and solving not only issues
relating to energy, quality and security at facilities, but also the specific characteristics in urban development
of the city's infrastructures.
Consequently, the Coordination Platforms will be responsible for defining the plans and programmes to
improve efficiency in management. In this respect, common objectives will be set in managing public service
infrastructures and equipment, especially those of general interest.
To implement these plans and programmes, the global scenario of actions planned in the city will always be
taken into account, ensuring sustainable, efficient execution of works to be carried out, by proper planning
and coordination to avoid unnecessary duplication of works and minimise disruption for citizens.

Considering how necessary and important infrastructure works are for the city of Madrid, the City Council
will foster the development of a Master Plan for Infrastructures, integrated within a Geographical Information
System.
Accordingly, the Master Plan for Energy Infrastructures will help coordinate actions by different stakeholders
and public services, and achieve the maximum possible synergies in each action necessary in the city of Madrid's
infrastructures.
Accordingly, it will be necessary to facilitate implementation of the works necessary and minimise inconveniences
caused to citizens. The Master Plan for Energy Infrastructures will be strategic in nature and will use any
information and communication tool that helps to efficiently manage and process the different partial and
operating plans and help find proper solutions to the problems raised.
Furthermore, one of the basic pillars for correctly applying the Master Plan for Energy Infrastructures is that
the Coordination Platforms and the Local Energy Agency assist in bringing the City Council in contact with
the other stakeholders involved.
The City Council will therefore establish structured planning with the companies affected for an agreed period
of time, in such a way that a works schedule can be designed, eliminating risks involved with supply interruptions
and minimising possible impacts as regards mobility and inhabitability.
The Master Plan for Energy Infrastructures' actions will also specify the requirements of new facilities in order
to absorbing future increases in demand, together with the renovation and maintenance requirements of
existing infrastructures.
Additionally, this plan will have a distributed information system (based on a centralised geographical information
system) to assist in preparing, with different levels of information breakdown and of the city of Madrid's
energy infrastructures.
This Geographical Information System will be part of the City Council Central GIS and will be a tool that,
apart from providing an inventory of the current situation, may be used to coordinate multiple actions in the
short, medium and long term.
The enlargement requirements of necessary infrastructures may also be defined, to respond to future needs
associated with the increase in demand. Accordingly, it will be necessary for companies to provide detailed
digital information about their energy infrastructures and a guarantee that they keep this information updated.

Measure 15 (continuation)
This provides detailed knowledge regarding existing infrastructures, their status and renovation or enlargement
requirements. Simultaneously, detailed information will be obtained in order to better carry out works and
reduce accidents and supply interruptions due to accidental breakage of pipelines during works.

be properly coordinated with the rest of the city of Madrid's infrastructures.
Costs ( )
• The Master Plan for Energy Infrastructures will be drawn up during 2009 to come into effect as of 2010.
Responsibility for this modification will be a matter for municipal authority technicians. The estimated budget

The city of Madrid will draw up and adopt an Urban Mobility Plan, with short, medium and long-term goals
Description
to reduce the use of private motor vehicles and increase the share of other, less pollutant modes of transport.
This mobility plan will endeavour to reduce the negative impact of transport, addressing the growing volume
of traffic and congestion and coordinating with national and regional plans, as well as with other, related
municipal plans, especially as regards urban planning. Its basic objective will be to set up a more environmentally
efficient transport system in the service of citizens. So as to take public opinion into account, in parallel to
the plan, a public consultation process will be carried out with the economic agents and other stakeholders.
The plan will cover all modes of transport and its goal will be to modify the proportion of each in favour of
the most efficient, such as public transport, bicycles or journeys on foot.
This Mobility Plan will permit Madrid to comply with the GHG emission abatement targets assumed by Spain
under the Kyoto Protocoland the requirements of the Directive on evaluating and managing air quality and
noise.
In order to achieve the goals proposed, a wide range of reduction measures will be taken into account, a
large part of which have already been provided herein.

As fossil fuels used in transport are one of the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions, new vehicles have
Description
been developed in recent years which are powered by alternative, less pollutant fuels and energies, such as:
biofuels (biodiesel and bioethanol); liquefied petroleum gas (LPG); natural gas; hydrogen or electricity.
Madrid City Council's fleets already use all these alternative fuels and it participates in European innovation
projects with experiments in using hydrogen or bioethanol within the BEST Programme.
Nevertheless, in order to promote the use of less pollutant vehicles, we must ensure a minimum supply of
such alternative fuels and energy, as currently their supply capacity in Madrid is clearly insufficient.
To increase the number of stations offering alternative fuels and energies up to a percentage between 10%
and 30% of the total, Madrid is to implement the following actions:
• Entering into agreements with supply and private, to create conditions that
companies and the owners of distribution encourage demand for alternative fuels,

Compared with these results, in recent years, there have been negative trends such as the constant increase
in the purchase of off-road vehicles for urban use, characterized by their high fuel consumption and high
emissions, along with other problems like greater occupation of space and consequently hampering the traffic
of cyclists and other drivers.
Furthermore, most of those interviewed would be willing to acquire vehicles fueled by alternative energies,
even though they had less power and less autonomy. The main barrier against purchasing these vehicles is
their price.

The study suggests the need to carry out awareness campaigns for environmental protection aimed at private
vehicle users and campaigns for public transport use as a mode of transport.
Madrid City Council will carry out driver awareness campaigns with the possible collaboration of different
vehicle insurance companies and the Institute for Energy Diversification and Saving (IDAE). These campaigns'
objective will be to inform on the impact that certain vehicles and fuels cause on the environment, and inform
on new options for vehicles on the market that consume and pollute less.
The City Council will also review the Ordinance regulating the Tax on Motor Vehicles (IVTM) to include
allowances for vehicles that use biofuels.
The Department of Safety and Mobility together with the Treasury will study the possibility of scaling the SER

A feasibility study is currently under way (Fundación Movilidad - IDAE) to set up a car-sharing system in Madrid.
Improving air quality in urban centres, in addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, necessarily involves
Description
introducing a wide range of measures to discourage the widespread use of private vehicles in urban centres,
in favour of other, more sustainable modes of transport. Less congestion will also benefit pedestrians, the
reliability and speed of public transport and, in general, mobility in urban centres.
A large part of the traffic there, concentrated at certain rush hours, is associated with journeys to places of
work, shopping or leisure activities. Research and experiments conducted in other cities have shown that
controlling the availability of parking spaces in these types of activities is very effective in reducing congestion
in certain especially affected parts of the city.
Act 9/2001 of 17 July, on the land of the Community of Madrid, lay down a minimum provision of parking
spaces in each area of non-consolidated urban land or sector and/or unit of land on which urban development
is permissible. Nevertheless, in accordance with article 36.6 (d), section 1, of the above Act 9/2001, it is possible
to establish maximum limits on parking spaces for commerce, performances and offices "for reasons of
congestion and density of urban centres". Such maximum limits must be stipulated by the General Urban
Development Plan for the urban centre, properly justifying the reasons of congestion and density.
This measure aims to establish a maximum limit over the number of parking spaces for new buildings located
in the urban centre which are intended for offices, performances or commercial activities, as an action that
may be undertaken by local authorities to control excess availability of parking spaces associated with these
activities, thus contributing to reducing journeys by private vehicle in congested areas. These limits will be
established by modifying the general planning instruments.
This measure must go hand in had with proper studies and in combination with other actions affecting the
improvement of public transport, so that easy, convenient access is guaranteed to such places.
In order to reduce private vehicle use for journeys to places of work and, consequently, reduce GHG emissions
from private vehicle transport, it is proposed to modify urban planning regulations to set a maximum number
of parking spaces that a new building may have, and lay down a minimum number of spaces for two-wheeled
vehicles.

Technical Building Inspection (I.T.E. in its Spanish acronym), approved by the plenary meeting of Madrid City
Council on 29 January 1999, as part of the Ordinance on Conservation, Restoration and Poor Condition of
Buildings, regulates the conservation of Madrid's buildings, endeavouring to mitigate the effects of buildings'
deterioration over time.
At present, I.T.E consists of a report drawn up by a competent technician freely chosen and contracted by
the property, and approved by the corresponding Professional Association, which shows the state of, at least:

This report will be given to the property to be handed in to the Municipal Authority's Registry, declaring
whether the Inspection is favourable or unfavourable.
This measure recommends including a voluntary energy efficiency report with a series of environmental
indicators regarding the condition and energy efficiency of the property. This report should include the
following basic criteria:
• Lighting and sunlight exposure. • Air conditioning, heating and DHW facilities

Energy Certification originates from the SAVE Directive 93/76 and its goal is to reduce CO2 emissions by
improving energy efficiency. Directive 2002/91/EC on the energy performance of buildings provides the
creation of an energy performance certificate, which must be made available to the owner or by the owner
to the purchaser or tenant. This certificate will provide users with an overview of a building's performance
level based on a series of criteria relating to energy, water consumption and uses, and GHG emissions. These
aspects are represented on a scale of 7 efficiency levels (A-G).
The certificate will provide users with reference values based on the applicable regulations and by type of
building, plus some basic recommendations on improving the cost-effectiveness of possible measures. As for
future users, certification provides a guarantee and justifies the investment made, ensuring a good balance
between energy consumption and level of comfort.
Furthermore, it is often used as a basic tool for comparing and evaluating the performance of a building's
facilities or facilities of the same type, and identify possible needs or improvements. With the aim of developing
this regulation, the Ministry of Housing, through the Sub-Directorate General for Innovation and Quality in
Construction, in collaboration with the IDAE, has developed the CEV (Energy Certification for Housing)

Heading 28 Promoting collective systems for heating, DHW and air conditioning.
Sector Residential, commercial and institutional Type Abatement
Description
Heating and hot water represent nearly two thirds of a household's energy consumption. Small improvements
in insulation (windows, facades, etc.) lead to energy and economic savings of 25% to 35% in heating and
refrigeration. When they are well designed, installed and maintained, collective systems for heating or for
producing DHW are more efficient and more economic than systems based on independent or individual
elements. These systems increase buildings' global energy performance and lead to saving and reduction in
consumption.
In some cases, the collective system concept can be extrapolated to installing co-generation systems. In this
case, implementation must be preceded by a feasibility study to evaluate the facility or building's energy
requirements. Although the industrial sector is where the greatest opportunities exist for installation, it can
be applied to any facility with relatively high thermal requirements (steam, hot water, refrigeration, etc.) for
an extended period of time (more than 5,000 hours/year), such as sports centres, hotels, shopping centres,
office buildings, business head offices, hospitals, etc.
Co-generation's efficiency is based on using the residual heat from an electricity generation process. This residual
heat is harnessed to produce useful thermal energy (steam, hot water, cold water for refrigeration, etc.).
As a result, co-generation systems are associated with thermal energy consuming centres. Accordingly, the
Municipal Housing and Land Company (EMVS) is carrying out studies by monitoring and telemanaging
individual heating and DHW systems with centralised production installed in all housing developments it carries
out, allowing it to continue innovating and developing new technologies. The use of individual systems of
centralised production integrated with renewable energy provides the following benefits:

According to EMVS figures, this system is considered economically suitable for buildings or developments of
25 homes and more. Furthermore, the EMVS recommends the Figure of Energy Manager for maintaining and
managing these collective systems.
As an example of this kind of facility's performance, we could mention that the EMVS has planned to install
a cogeneration plant in the municipal colonies of San Francisco Javier and Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles for
over 2,000 social homes. This installation will involve an emissions reduction of 4,810 tCO2/year and an energy

In recent years, Madrid City Council has set up new energy alternatives that have significantly reduced emissions
of sulphur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter and greenhouse gases (GHG). This reduction has been possible,
to a large extent, by replacing domestic heating systems, especially collective coal boilers. According to recent
estimates, the air of Madrid annually receives 4,750 tonnes less of SO2 and 1,025 tonnes less of particles,
compared to emissions in the year 1990.
GHG emissions associated with coal and diesel are, respectively, 75% and 25%% than emissions associated
with natural gas.

Electric power consumption in lighting amounts to 9% of final energy consumption in Spanish households
and 18% of electricity purchased every year. It is worth noting that public authorities are adopting measures
to reduce consumption and encourage efficiency in the home. These regulation measures include criteria for
minimising artificial light requirements, set out in the recently approved Technical Building Code (2006),
specifically in the document DB-HE Energy Saving, Section HE-3, which lays down that systems for using
natural light will be installed to regulate the level of lighting according to the contribution of natural light.
The City Council has powers to contribute to reducing artificial lighting needs with the following actions:

LED (Light Emitting Diode) lamps are lighting systems that substitute incandescent bulbs with semiconductors
that emit light when a low-intensity electric current is passed through them. These systems use no filament
or gas and they can produce the same light intensity as traditional bulbs, but consuming 80% less energy.
This lighting system is applicable to traffic lights and other lighting systems in cities, reducing the consumption
by such systems, and increasing their efficiency.
Traditional traffic lights use incandescent bulbs that only spend 5-10% of energy consumed in emitting light,
with the remaining 90% lost as heat. The new LED systems transform all electric power into light and they
also have an average useful life 12 times longer than traditional bulbs.
Apart from reducing energy consumption, the use of LED lamps in traffic lights offers the following benefits:
Pg. 175
Measure 31 (continuation)
Madrid City Council will include LED lamps in traffic lights at every junction in the municipality to replace
traditional traffic lights. This will involve installing about 80,000 new lamps, which will indirectly reduce GHG
emissions by reducing electric energy consumption.
Massive substitution has taken place in every district in the city, so at present more than 34% junctions with
traffic lights now have this technology, with a total of 675 junctions.
Supply and installation costs amount to 8,500,000 of which 75,000 are budgeted on the horizon of this Plan.

Heading 32 equipment.
Sector Residential, commercial and institutional Type Abatement
Description
Consumption associated with refrigeration in residential buildings and in the tertiary sector has grown
significantly in recent years, reaching 11.1% of electric power consumption on a national level. Although,
in relative terms, a fifth of Spanish households have air conditioning, this number has increased exponentially.
Electricity consumption for refrigeration still falls below electricity consumption for lighting in households,
but the largest problem is the contribution of refrigeration to generating peaks in demand, coinciding with
the times of day when it is hottest (between 14:00 and 18:00) in the summer months. These peaks are the
reasons behind some power cuts, because the demand for electricity shoots up and the grid has difficulties
arising from overload generated by the added power.
Royal Decree 124/1994 of 28 January regulates the labelling of domestic appliances and information on
energy consumption and other resources. Furthermore, Royal Decree 142/2003 regulates the energy-related
labelling of air conditioning equipment for domestic use, so that possible users are properly informed and
can choose the most efficient equipment.
Specific measures for reducing the energy consumption of air conditioning equipment are:

The concept of domotics refers to "automation and control of domestic systems". A domotic system integrates
a series of automations in terms of electricity, electronics, robotics, IT and telecommunications so as to provide
users with increased comfort, security, facilities for persons with reduced mobility, energy saving, etc. Domotics
can be applied to different aspects of a household to reduce energy consumption while maintaining a good
level of comfort, mainly for lighting, air conditioning, electricity management and domestic appliances.
In order to foster domotic systems, the City Council will carry out the following information and publicity
actions:

Heading 34 thermal solar energy.
Sector Residential, commercial and institutional Type Abatement
Description
There currently exist a number of initiatives to foster the acquisition and use of energy-efficient domestic
appliances. The market also offers bithermal domestic appliances, which operate in association with thermal
solar reception systems for DHW. Bithermal washing machines and dishwashers use hot water from the
thermal solar system, instead of heating water with the traditional system of heating elements. To do so, there
has to be a double water intake to feed washing machines and dishwashers. This kind of domestic appliance
can save up to 85% by comparison with traditional ones. On the other hand, the current Technical Building
Code (TBC) stipulates that buildings where a minimum solar energy contribution is applicable to generating
DHW, according to provisions, must have, apart from cold water intakes, connectable to the washing machine
and dishwasher, two hot water intakes for the installation of bithermal appliances.
An efficient alternative is to use external mixing valves that can pre-treat and regulate temperature before
feeding the appliance. The basic advantage is that this system allows conventional domestic appliances to
be used. At present, the Municipal Housing and Land Company (EMVS) is implementing this system with
estimated electricity savings of 25%.
Two instruments will be adopted to implement this measure, though the most important is probably the
information campaigns.

Heading 35 Programming energy audits and certification in municipal buildings and facilities.
Energy audits consist of conducting a study into the situation of municipal facilities, so as to assess their status
in terms of energy consumption and, as the case may be, provide solutions to reduce consumption or take
advantage of energy consumed more efficiently.
The Local Energy Agency will implement a Programme of Energy Audits in Municipal Buildings, every
year, for municipal buildings/services. A prior inventory of buildings' consumption will be obtained to allow
a selection, from the 1,338 municipal facilities and services (2005 figures) that the City Council is responsible
for maintaining, those with energy unit consumption above the average value within their typology of usage.
Every year, 25 facilities or buildings will be chosen for energy audits. Selection criteria will be defined by City
Council technicians although the most important include:
• Energy consumption and point demand at the associated with combustion from equipment

Energy audits will be carried out by following a procedure established by the Local Energy Agency, although
the main actions that an audit should include are:

Audits will be carried out by specialised companies, assisted by the manager of the corresponding building,
who will monitor the process.
As an example and a model of an energy audit in municipal buildings, we could point to the audit in the
EMVS building at Palos de la Frontera, 13, which concluded in the first quarter of 2007. The goal of this audit
was to identify measures to cut energy and water expenses and reduce GHG associated with the building.
Furthermore, this measure initiated a process of energy certification in municipally-owned buildings, and in
any municipal housing developments that may be undertaken.
Directive 2002/91/EC on the energy performance of buildings provides that buildings with a useful floor area
over 1,000 m2 occupied by public authorities or by institutions providing public services to a large number
of persons, should display the certification in a prominent, clearly visible place. The certification process is
closely linked to developing a training programme for future certifiers.
Pg. 185
Measure 35 (continuation)
The training program will be part of the measure to Foster Energy Certification in the Tertiary and Services
Sector.
Accordingly, through the Energy Agency, collaborations will be sought with other specialised bodies. Certifications
will aim to compare municipal buildings by typology.
• Audits will be carried out once the "Program of Energy Audits for Municipal Facilities and Buildings" has
been drawn up. This program will be drafted as of 2008 and will be the responsibility of Directorate General
for Sustainability and Agenda 21. The programme will be applied as of 2009 and will be managed by the
future Local Energy Agency. This programme will be valid for a term of 4 years and the annual budget for
275 audits will be 550,000.
• Energy certifications will be carried out alongside audits, although the intention is to observe improvements
from applying certain actions included in the plans arising from the audit's conclusions. It is therefore
proposed to implement:
- A training programme in energy certification for City Council technicians during 2008, included in the
measure on Fostering Energy Certification in the Tertiary and Services Sector, so no budget is allocated to
this action.
- A certification campaign with the target of certifying 100% of Municipal Buildings and Facilities at the
end of this plan's effective term. Certification will be obligatory for all Municipal buildings and certification
is recommended before and after application of the energy audit programme's actions. The allocated
budget is 400,000 distributed throughout this plan's effective term and starting as of the Local Energy
Agency's creation in 2008.

(*) is estimated for the entire plan.
By technologies:
• Photovoltaic: The annual budget for installing photovoltaic panels is 500,000 approximately equivalent
to a installed capacity of 50-60 kWp per annum generating approximately 75-100MWh. These actions will
start as of 2009. This will involve total costs in the plan's term of application of around 2.4 million euros.
• Thermal: The annual budget for installing panels will be 375,000 approximately equivalent, in 300-
500 m2 per annum, to 25-35 toe (tonne of oil equivalent). These actions will start as of 2009. This
involves a total expense in the PEM's term of application of 1.8 million euros.
The total budget for this measure amounts to approximately 4.22 million (*). The possibility of obtaining
external subsidies will be studied in order to implement this measure.

Heading 39 Applying all criteria relating to energy consumption and GHG emissions in local contracting.
The criteria of energy efficiency and GHG emission reduction considered in this plan should also be applied
to contracting municipal works, supplies and services .
On 8 July 2005, the Local Government Meeting approved the Code of Good Environmental Practices as
regards Local Contracting, seeking to offer a practical response to establishing and promoting policies aimed
at protecting the Environment (among them, the energy and prevention policy on atmospheric pollution) as
a requirement arising from article 45 of the Spanish Constitution and from Art. 6 of the Treaty of Amsterdam
of the European Union.
The Code of Good Environmental Practices as regards Local Contracting is aimed at local authority services
and units that are part of the City Council, to boost productivity and improve public contracting. It is intended
to be applicable to all contracts subject to the Consolidated Text of the Public Administration Contracts Act,
Legislative Royal Decree 2/2000, of 16 June, amended by Royal Decree Act 5/2005, of 11 March, on urgent
reforms to increase productivity and improve public contracting.
With respect to energy, the Code of Good Practices includes a series of environmental practices aimed at
achieving greater efficiency and energy saving and promote renewable energies. GHG emissions are included
in the section on Atmospheric Pollution of the Local Air Quality Strategy.
To implement this measure, clauses regarding energy efficiency, renewable energies and GHG emission
reduction will be introduced in the technical specifications for adjudicating municipal contracts. The Local
Energy Agency will define the criteria on energy efficiency, application of renewable energies and GHG
emission reduction and will ensure they are taken into account in the technical specifications for adjudicating
municipal contracts. Some examples of application are: acquiring lighting systems, air conditioning systems,
heating systems and efficient systems for generating DHW, installing thermal and photovoltaic solar panels,
geothermics or supplying and using biofuels.

• A preliminary study will be carried out to identify all potential projects with the greatest impact and which
are considered landmarks for the City. A consultation period is proposed to establish a schedule of events.
The consultation period will take place during 2009, with a budget of 25,000 for a preliminary study.
• The measure will be applied to three landmark annual events as of 2009, thus involving 15 events by the
end of the plan's implementation. The events will have different budgets according to scope, though it is
expected to cost the City Council 40,000 a year, not including collaborations. For the plan's term of
application, this involves a total cost of 160,000.
• Emissions for air transport by the Government Dept. of the Environment and City Services will be offset by
compensating with forested surface area as of 2009. This has an estimated budget of 90,000 for the
period 2009-2011 equivalent to 4/5 Ha. forested. The estimated budget for the year 2012, corresponding
to the City Council as a whole, will be carried out as of 2011.
Funding through revolving funds has been applied in the European Union with the aim of reducing energy
consumption, CO2 emissions and operating costs of public facilities. The measure is based on creating channels
of private investment in public buildings and facilities in order to improve their energy efficiency. Savings in
consumption with respect to the period of reference go towards paying for the private investment made.
Project investment payback periods are established by the financial policies of collaborating entities or companies
although they are estimated at 1 to 2 years.
Actions to fund energy improvements will focus on municipal buildings and facilities. A consumption reduction
target will be set for each energy improvement action, setting investment payback periods according to targets.

The IT market is characterized by a constant process technological innovation, making the life-cycle of IT
equipment increasingly short. Furthermore, the demand for IT equipment in the buildings and facilities of the
municipal public authorities is increasing. However, when acquiring office systems, the authorities do not
usually demand energy-saving systems as an essential requirement. Technical factors usually prevail, such as
storage capacity, processor speed, the incorporation of multimedia, screen size and resolution, etc.
The actions that Madrid City Council will carry out to reduce energy consumption in its IT equipment are

This measure's goal is to promote and publicise all projects that represent a model in urban development on
the basis of integrating sustainable criteria. Accordingly, Madrid City Council will to be committed to residential
innovation projects in areas of development in the city. Consequently, a series of public information campaigns
will be carried out with the aim of publicising the city of Madrid's most innovative projects.
Furthermore, training campaigns will be implemented in order to advise all stakeholders involved (architects,
manufacturers, developers, etc.) who wish to integrate sustainable elements and bioclimatic architecture in
their developments.
In this respect, the Madrid City Council is drawing up a new General Housing Ordinance laying down minimum
mandatory requirements and which will include sustainable criteria to improve resource management
(management of water, energy, etc.) with a view to improving the functionality and inhabitability of housing
in the city of Madrid.

Measures to be included in the future Local Urban Waste Strategy will also contribute to reducing GHG, by
reducing emissions in the waste sector.
Landfilled biodegradable waste or organic matter produces emissions, mainly methane, as it decomposes.
Furthermore, incineration processes contribute to increasing carbon emissions.
Measures in Madrid's Local Urban Waste Strategy include reducing the disposal of organic matter and
biodegradable waste in landfills, due to the significant emission of GHG in its decomposition processes, plus
using biogas, increasing the waste and packaging recovery and increasing waste collection and management
infrastructures.
The plan also includes actions to raise awareness, to minimise waste generation at source and increase separate
collection. It also includes introducing of new green zones in the landfills.
The plan also includes new projects to regenerate landfill sites with new green zones (current landfill at Las
Dehesas and Las Cumbres).

Description
According to the energy efficiency index (EEI) in SMEs, drawn up by Unión FENOSA, Spanish SMEs can
economise 20% of the energy they consume. Efficient energy use in SMEs would reduce electricity consumption
in Spain by 10%. The energy efficiency rate in the different Autonomous Communities is relatively homogeneous
(3.1 on average), although Madrid's is one of the lowest (2.9), indicating greater potential for improvement.
By sector of activity, the lowest rates are recorded in professional services and commerce, which are the
activities with greatest potential for improvement.

The Local Energy Agency will provide technical assistance services on energy efficiency matters to Madrid's
industry, aimed especially at SMEs.
By the energy certification service, it will systematically control energy efficiency in production companies,
setting consumption reduction targets that will have to be met in order to renew the certificate. By obtaining
an energy efficiency certificate, companies can improve their image and make significant savings, considering
the growing cost of energy. Furthermore, holding this certificate will be positively evaluated in the Local
Authority's contracting procedures.
Pg. 231

These services will be provided in the framework of a voluntary agreement between industry and Madrid City
Council, and partially subsidised by the Administration.
Costs ( )
• Advisory actions will be carried out by municipal personnel that from the Agency staff, so no extraordinary
budget is allocated for such functions. A sum of 108,000 is allocated for training and information provided
to industry through the Local Energy Agency for the full valid term of the plan.
• Energy efficiency audits will be subcontracted to specialised companies. Their cost basically depends on the
time spent by the work team and can be assessed according to the number of hours that the auditor and
his team must use. An average price is estimated to be 5,000 per industrial centre, though cost basically
depends on the complexity and specific scope of each industrial process.

• The Local Energy Agency will grant award subsidies for 40% of the audit's cost, provided the emission
reduction targets are met after the audit. The provision for subsidies is estimated for a total of 25 companies
per year, with a resulting annual cost of 50,000 for energy audits.
• Aid for feasibility studies for co-generation plants or other investments will cover a maximum 75% of the
project's cost, budgeted at a maximum annual amount of 100,000.

Goals
Targets 2012
The Plan includes one additional measure to be added to Madrid City Council's existing measures to develop new green
areas. The measure is aimed at increasing the city's carbon sink capacity by installing green roofs.
Pg. 244
City of Madrid Plan for the Sustainable Use of Energy and Climate Change Prevention
Index
A green roof system is an extension to an existing roof, with waterproofing and root resistance, a drainage
system, filters and soil growing plants and vegetation. Developing green roofs involves creating contained
green areas on the tops of man-made structures.

The main benefit in terms of climate change is that green roofs can act as sinks, absorbing carbon dioxide,
water and energy to make oxygen and glucose. Green roofs also fulfil a heat-absorbing function, reducing
the "urban heat island" effect and filtering air particles. It is estimated that 1m2 of green roof with grass can
extract approximately 0.2 kg of air particles every year.
Another major benefit as regards climate change abatement takes place through reducing energy consumption
for heating and refrigeration, thanks to green roofs insulating effect and cooling capacity in high temperatures.
Field experiments conducted in Canada show that green roofs can reduce heat loss from buildings by 26%
and also limit a building's heat increase by 95%.

Further benefits include acoustic insulation, new leisure areas for citizens or aesthetic improvements to the
urban environment.
The scope of the measure is limited to public and institutional buildings (schools, libraries, sports centres,
institutions, etc.) and it will be implemented in the following stages:

Costs ( )
• The estimated cost of the feasibility study and design is 200,000 over two years.
• Implementing the pilot projects, estimating an initial surface area of 1,000 m2, will have an approximate
initial cost of 75,000. According to EPA estimates, installing green roofs costs approximately $ 8.00 per
square foot, in other words, approximately 75 per m2. Annual maintenance costs are estimated at
30,000.
• A definition of the project's final scope will depend on results of the feasibility study, so cannot be
evaluated yet.

The goals set by the City Council are to increase the city's green zones by laying out new parks and gardens;
to increase and extend the number of trees lining streets; to create new neighbouring green zones, particularly
in the city centre; to carry out actions planned to make better use of Madrid's more important parks, and to
improve the facilities and equipment of existing green zones.
In order to increase the city's environmental quality, natural areas are being used and deteriorated environments
are being recovered. Key examples include the creation of major green areas like the Valdebebas Forestry
Park, whose surface are is equal to London's Hyde Park and New York's Central Park together, or the New
Casa de Campo del Norte project, which will cover a surface area greater than 1,000 hectares, with
autochthonous tree species. In addition to these areas, we have the O´Donnell Green Wedge, Parque de Juan
Pablo II, the new Mercamadrid forestry park, the South-West Green Corridor, the North-West Forestry Park,
the park lining the River Manzanares and the Madrid ring forest in the area around the M-40 motorway.
Specifically, the city of Madrid will enrich its privileged forest assets by orderly planning and implementing
actions that increase the number of trees in our city by planting more than 1,500,000.

Sector Type Adaptation
Description
According to the Tagus River Basin Authority, 50% of floods in the last thousand years associated with this
basin took place in the Community of Madrid, and the towns affected include the municipality of Madrid.
Furthermore, the area of the River Manzanares, which flows through Madrid, is considered a flood risk zone.
This area is significant due to demographic pressure and the expansion of urban development in recent decades.
Despite the fact that climate change predictions point to a reduction in rainfall, an increase is expected in
natural phenomena or disasters affecting certain areas of the municipality, especially floods or severe droughts.
Consequently, Madrid City Council will coordinate the mapping and assessment of risk all over the municipal
area, especially parts of the municipality that historically suffered floods.
The goal of this action is to provide the City Council with a basic risk evaluation study in order to, should the
need arise, adapt the current basic regulations on construction and design, and on planning and uses, thus
mitigating the risks of extreme natural phenomena.
Costs ( )
Risk mapping and evaluation in the municipality of Madrid will be coordinated as of 2008 by City Council
technicians. Accordingly, the current basic regulations on construction, planning and land uses will be modified
as of 2009. This action will also be carried out by City Council technicians, so no budget is allocated.

respiratory alterations arising from a significant increase in PM and ozone. Specifically, it predicts that the
deterioration in air quality caused by anthropogenic pollution and a significant reduction in rainfall may lead
to increased concentrations of ozone and PM, especially in urban areas.
The city of Madrid has an Atmospheric Pollution Monitoring System made up of a network of 27 remote
stations plus a series of complementary resources, such as the emission inventory, the prediction system, the
information system or the mobile laboratory.
Among the measures of the Local Air Quality Strategy, it is expected that, during the plan's term of execution,
municipal services will carry out a series of actions aimed at maximising this set of resources and, among them,
one of the most important is adapting the system for monitoring pollutants and PM. For PM, a network for
monitoring levels of PM10 (particlate matter <10 microns), PM2.5 (particlate matter <2.5 microns) and TPM
(total particlate matter).
Furthermore, the Region has a Palynological Network providing information on concentrations of the most
allergenic pollen types in the Community of Madrid's atmosphere. Accordingly, in the framework of the Regional
Asthma Control and Prevention Programme, specifically in the Air Pollution Monitoring Sub-Programme, the
Community of Madrid Palynological Network (RED PALINOCAM) was set up in 1993. This network consists
of ten collectors, three of which are located in the municipality of Madrid and seven distributed in designated
areas in the Community of Madrid. The programme's measures include publishing a daily and weekly bulletin
on the situation and a series of recommendations for people allergic to pollen.

Central Government and Parliament. The city of Madrid is one of the most important leisure centres with an
considerable offer in culture. Tourism, therefore, is a key factor in the city's development and one of the most
important economic driving forces in the municipality.
Furthermore, we must remember that the city of Madrid's climate is characterised by hot summers and cold,
dry winters. The changes associated with climate change, basically higher temperatures and lower rainfall,
could alter the flow and calendar of tourists in the city of Madrid.
In this respect, Madrid City Council will develop a system of tourism-climate change indicators in order to detect
alterations in the behaviour of tourism. The purpose of this tool is to improve Madrid City Council's tourism-

such as the Royal Botanical Garden. There is a series of unique areas in Madrid which have been entrusted to
the Department of the Environment for conservation and improvement. These areas correspond to special sites
like the streets Paseo del Prado-Recoletos-Castellana, Puerta del Sol-Alcalá, Alfonso XII and Arturo Soria or
squares like Plaza de España and Plaza de Oriente; parks like Parque de Agustín Rodríguez Sahagún or the one

to conserve and improve them. Actions undertaken include such significant work as installing automatic
irrigation for the whole area, constant renovation of deteriorated meadows, replacement of trees and bushes
and, especially, flowering plants.
Over recent decades, new urban developments have proliferated in the municipal area of Madrid, and the vast
majority of these new developments ensure a green zone devoted to parks and gardens, though it is less
common for such green areas to ensure biodiversity and proper sustainable management. Gardens and parks
have become essential elements in the urban landscape, which depend not only on public authorities but also
on citizens and private communities. Private green zones should be compatible with autochthonous species
and foster biodiversity as much as possible. Citizens, therefore, should play a fundamental role in fostering
green zones, parks and gardens that are sustainable with the environment.

Where the relationship between the energy generated and consumed is as follows:
As regards losses, the White Paper on the Reform of the regulatory framework for electricity production in Spain13 calculates
combined losses from the transport and distribution network as 20,085 GWh, 8.41% of total annual electricity consumption
in 2004. Which establishes the following relationship:
On the basis of formulas (1) and (2), losses can be defined according to energy generated:
Taking into account the criteria of the GHG Protocol, it has been considered reasonable only to assume the losses over which
the City Council has any possible control, so calculations have only assumed distribution losses, excluding losses from the
