Need to improve energy performance certificates for buildings – Energy in Demand – Sustainable Energy – Rod Janssen

Need to improve energy performance certificates for buildings – Energy in Demand – Sustainable Energy – Rod Janssen | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it
Freya Wise, PhD Candidate in Sustainability and the Built Environment at The Open University in the UK writes on The Conversation website about the shortcomings of energy performance certificates (EPCs) and the need to improve them, especially for pre-1945 homes in Britain. What is the experience in your country? How we measure energy efficiency in…

A Guide to the Statistical Treatment of Energy Performance Contracts

A Guide to the Statistical Treatment of Energy Performance Contracts | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it

This guide helps public authorities better understand how Energy Performance Contracts can help their balance sheets and let them plan projects with greater confidence. In the end, this will unlock more potential for energy efficiency investments and draw in more participation from the private sector.

New implementation model for Energy Performance Contracting (EPC)

New implementation model for Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it

Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) is a well-tested and successful tool that has been helping building owners reach their energy and climate targets more quickly than with traditional implementation of energy saving measures. 

Still there is potential for more use of EPC to reach unrealised saving potential in public sector.

To promote the use of EPC, this guide introduces an improved implementation model based on the present market situation and experiences in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. 

The main novelty aspect being contract-based partnership during the analysis phase of EPC projects.
