efficient glazings are costly, but cost-effective as a result of savings accruing from the
need for a smaller, less costly chiller system.
1.4 Use the BMI exergy data visualization platform to examine opportunities for making
aggregated purchases and procurement of high-efficiency equipment upgrades, as well as
installing onsite and distributed solar, wind and storage systems acquired at closer to
wholesale cost. The learning curve in aggregated purchasing becomes an integral part of
Knowledge-as-a-Service.
1.5 Use the experience process gained from establishing the BMI exergy data visualization
platform to perform similar “Knowledge-as-a-Service” inventories for domestic and
regional public agencies, educational institutions, commercial and agricultural facilities,
and residences.
1.6 Use the BMI platform for Industry professionals to map domestic and export market
opportunities for efficiency, wind, solar, and storage technologies. This should encompass
potential partnerships, as for example, ArcelorMittal working with Siemens and Statoil on
constructing offshore wind parks. Partnering with Luxembourg’s financial and insurance
sector would greatly augment the Knowledge-as-a-Service expertise export BMI.
1.7 Industries should be encouraged to use all available free space on the roofs and in parking
lots to produce solar energy which they can either return to the power grid or use for self
consumption.
