Senior Energy Advisor, Principal/Managing Consultant and Expert 

United Nations Economic Commission for Europe

Vice Chair of the Task Force on Digitalization in Energy

The Group of Experts on Energy Efficiency (GEEE) was established to carry out results-oriented activities that help significantly improve energy efficiency in the region, contributing to climate change mitigation efforts; and strengthen regional cooperation, with a view to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The GEEE focuses on regulatory and policy dialogue addressing financial, technical and policy barriers, and on sharing best practices, including strengthening institutional capacity in the field of energy efficiency.

LT Big Brother

LT Big Brother is the first and only voluntary professional mentoring programme for young Lithuanian professionals globally. The aim of the project is to facilitate the transfer of professional knowledge and experience from established Lithuanian professionals (Big Brothers/Sisters) and ambitious Lithuanian students or professionals (Small Brothers/Sisters) at the start of their careers.

LT Big Brother project was first launched in 2009 in London by Lithuanian City of London Club (LCLC) which was co-founded by Rytis Vitkauskas, a long-term LT Big Brother mentor and more recently the co-founder of YPlan app. Since 2011 LCLC has been joined by Global Lithuanian Leaders (GLL) to help organizing LT Big Brother. In 2012 the list of partners has further expanded to include Lithuanian Wallstreet Club. Besides the official partners, more than 20 professional people, of whom a few are mentors or former mentees themselves, voluntarily run LT Big Brother.

Chapter 1.
Management of Engineers Analyst Office activities and 10 employees.
Energy Efficiency, Energy Management and Operation/Maintenance of District Heating utilities in 10 Lithuanian cities.
Feasibility Studies and Due Diligence of District Heating Systems and Economy (Lithuania, Romania, etc.).
Assessment of produced, supplied and consumed heat and hot water. Developed a methodology for historical data assessment to identify theoretical monthly energy consumption for every final customer, how to adjust these data according to actual outside/inside air temperature, heated area, building type, etc. and how to compare these data;
Methodology to forecast energy and hot water consumption for the next calendar year for every final customer.
Advising IT department on the development and improvement of IBM Cognos system functionality (BIG Data Management).

Methodology to forecast energy and hot water consumption for the next calendar year for every final customer (building level). As practice shows forecasts were made very precisely with a coefficient of determination R2=99,5 value. Financial department uses these forecasted data to predict sale rates for the next year, so precision is very important as inaccuracy of every percent makes millions of Eur. These forecasted energy consumption data are very important to identify the most sensitive customers with smallest energy efficiency. Later these customers are put on a list for municipality and municipality can encourage them for Building Efficiency (insulation of partitions, reconstruction of heating systems, installation of individual heat metering, etc). 

All these excel based calculations, methodologies and improvements were transferred from Excel sheets to one IBM Cognos system. That solved a data collection issue from different people, saved a lot of time in preparation of reports, some data automatically are transferred into Navision Financials.

The author of an Interactive Actual Energy Consumption Class (AECC) map. Collaboration with 10 Lithuanian municipalities in the preparation of Interactive Actual Energy Consumption Class (AECC) map.

Chapter 3.
The Interactive Actual Energy Consumption Class (AECC) map is a tool to stimulate the population in residential buildings to consume heat energy in more efficient way. It was introduced to the Mayor and citizens of Vilnius city in 2013 when the analysis of heat consumption and recommendations were provided for citizens. Actual energy consumption is presented in 15 classes (1 is the best and most efficient building, 15 is worst). This energy efficiency criterion AECC is a unit, from which is eliminated various influencing factors – different heating seasons temperatures, durations, heating area, so by the help of this indicator can be compared different buildings per different heating seasons. Developed a special methodology for the calculation of AECC. Based on AECC Interactive Map, residents can evaluate online how efficient is energy consumption in their buildings, consumers can compare energy consumption between the same project type buildings. This project significantly contributes to the establishment of ESCO model in municipalities. This project attracted attention of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Lithuania Algirdas Butkevičius, Minister of Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Lithuania Valentinas Mazuronis, Mayor of Vilnius City Artūras Zuokas and others. This project is a winner of “Eurocities 2014” for the innovation in energy and contributes to the obligations according to Covenant of Mayors. More about this project:
