On 5 April 2016 the JRC presented the interactive and collaborative online European Energy Efficiency Platform. This beta platform is conceived to fill the gap opened by scattered data and fragmented knowledge resulting from a rapidly growing energy efficiency market. It is expected to be both a one-stop shop for information retrieval and a meeting point for experts to exchange data and reduce redundant activities.
This report aims at showing the present status of energy consumption in EU-28, in the four main energy consuming sectors : Residential, tertiary, transport and industry. During the last years, there have been efforts by the European Union to cut down on energy consumption and improve energy efficiency. From 2000-2012, there have been various initiatives that aim at reducing final energy consumption.

Between the building components windows are of high interest within the European policy activity as directives and regulations set out roles to manage, more or less directly, their environmental performance. The product group “Windows” is subjected to the Construction Products Regulation and it is indirectly addressed by the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. The Working Plan for energyrelated

Final energy consumption experienced in Europe an increase in absolute terms of 10% between 1990 and 2006 where the consumption peaked at 1190 Mtoe. Over this period, the share of the final energy consumption of residential and non-residential buildings increased from 35.4% to 37.7% . This made buildings the largest single end-use of energy in Europe.

Renovation is an umbrella term which normally describes a variety of interventions in a building: from modernization, retrofit, restoration and rehabilitation to simple maintenance, repairs and routine upgrades. An energy renovation is often “behind the scenes” of many of these actions, with each action delivering different level of energy savings.

With the right set of policy tools, it is generally accepted that governments can play a crucial role in promoting energy efficiency and leveraging more investments in the building sector, especially in the existing stock. Buildings are responsible for 40% of total energy consumption of the EU and their modernisation is considered to be pivotal in our shift towards a low carbon economy.

There is a growing interest in reducing energy consumption and the associated greenhouse gas emissions in every sector of the economy. The residential sector is a substantial consumer of energy in every country, and therefore a focus for energy consumption efforts.

Global climate change poses significant risks to the California economy. Recognizing and responding to these threats, Governor Schwarzenegger signed Executive Order #S-3-05 (Schwarzenegger 2005) which called for a 30 percent reduction below business-as-usual of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.

Since its inception in 1981, ACEEE has produced a wide variety of reports and assessments focused on energy efficiency as a low-cost, reliable alternative to our nation's growing energy demands. This report departs from ACEEE's traditional focus on energy efficiency as a resource and instead frames efficiency as an invisible powerhouse and an underappreciated investment opportunity.

We argue that a primary focus on energy efficiency may not be sufficient to slow (and ultimately reverse) the growth in total energy consumption and carbon emissions. Instead, policy makers need to return to an earlier emphasis on “conservation,” with energy efficiency seen as a means rather than an end in itself.
