There have long been around: co-, non-energy or multiple benefits of energy efficiency. Since 2014 with the IEA report Capturing the Multiple Benefits of Energy Efficiency, they also arrived at the heart of political discourse in Europe. What do we know on those multiple impacts at European level, which quantifications are there? What methods can be applied for assessing multiple impacts of future policies, in order to take better informed decisions? Do we have an idea of the size of multiple impacts?
This webinar gives the first answers to these questions and introduces participants to the online tool containing all quantifications from the COMBI project (“Calculating and Operationalising the Multiple Benefits of Energy Efficiency in Europe”)
Webinar #9: Plugging the gap between energy poverty management and the lived experience: five principles

As an introduction we will elaborate on the current policy and activities in the Netherlands and the UK, to show differences and promising examples of new ideas on how to tackle energy poverty. Accordingly, we will articulate a new approach to energy poverty policy, based on bringing insights from a multi-disciplinary understanding of the lived experience of energy poverty into policy design.
We argue that understanding the lived experience of energy poverty is critical in designing appropriate policies, which are both effective and aligned with people’s day-to-day lives. In addition, the range of disciplines that examine the lived experience of energy poverty (housing, employment, education, social policy, health, energy etc.) help to give breadth to our understanding of this challenging condition.
We propose five principles for policy design, informed by a multi-disciplinary understanding of the lived experience. These principles can be applied at a range of scales (local, regional, national and super-national).
Webinar #8: Evaluating energy efficiency policies: new online resources to share knowledge and experience
Evaluating energy efficiency policies: new online resources to share knowledge and experience

Experience sharing about evaluation practices for energy efficiency policies is limited due to lack of time for stakeholders to disseminate or document evaluation activities. Front-runners publish their work in journals or conferences, but most of evaluation activities remain in national language and are difficult to find.
This webinar presents new online resources developed by the European project EPATEE to make knowledge and experience more easily available: a Knowledge Base including and a set of case studies.
The webinar also discusses stakeholders’ needs about evaluation practices.

According to numerous experiences and evidences, evaluation of energy efficiency policy can produce many benefits for policy makers and contribute to improve existing policies and design new ones that are more effective. The EPATEE project has contributed to this topic by sharing some interesting experiences on how evaluation has been used and has produced an added value for policy makers, besides giving some suggestions on the way to make a better use of it and to overcome possible barriers. This was the objective of this webinar, with experiences from Denmark and Finland.
This webinar is suitable for anyone with an interest in evaluation of energy efficiency policies and programmes.

This webinar introduces the De-risking Energy Efficiency Platform (DEEP), an open-source initiative to up-scale energy efficiency investments in Europe through the improved sharing and transparent analysis of existing projects in buildings and industry.
DEEP is the largest pan-EU, open-source evidence-base containing over 7800 industrial and buildings-related energy efficiency projects from 25 data providers including large companies, public banks, private investment funds, financial institutions and ESCOs.
Webinar #6: Ensuring effective delivery of EU energy efficiency targets

The European Union’s so-called ‘Winter Package’ sets out an ambitious trajectory for energy efficiency for the period after 2020. Reaching the energy efficiency targets requires not only new policies but also a rigorous monitoring and verification regime at the national level. Otherwise there is a risk that many of the claimed energy savings exist only on paper.
Two countries with sophisticated monitoring and verification policies in place (Austria and Ireland) share their experiences of how to set up effective systems to ensure that energy efficiency improvements are being delivered effectively.

Now that the European Commission’s ‘winter package’ has been released, it is critical to consider the potential for a radically different EM&V regime for Europe – i.e., one that can ensure that Member States are delivering real savings through 2020 (and beyond).
This webinar provides a ‘refresher course’ to those with a basic understanding of EM&V methods and focus on a few best practices examples including EM&V methodologies for efficiency obligation schemes, white certificate schemes, and voluntary measures. Participants will learn what types of EM&V might work best within different policy contexts, regulatory drivers and other constraints (e.g., data availability).
