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.
What is a Typical Meteorological Year (TMY)?A typical meteorological year (TMY) is a set of meteorological data with data values for every hour in a year for a given geographical location. The data are selected from hourly data in a longer time period (normally 10 years or more). For each month in the year the data have been selected from the year that was considered most "typical" for that month.

Policies and Targets
Energy Generation and Distribution
The development of standard procedures for measurement and verification (M&V) of savings is an important task for the promotion of the ESCO business. The key to unlocking the enormous potential for energy efficiency worldwide is securing financing. Good measurement practices and verifiability are some of the important elements in providing the confidence needed to secure funding for projects.

Financing
Three broad options for financing energy efficiency improvements can be distinguished.
ESCO financing refers to financing with internal funds of the ESCO and may involve own capital or equipment lease. ESCO rarely use equity for financing, as this options limits their capability of implementing projects on a sustainable basis;

Buildings
The GreenBuilding Programme reached its 8th year of activity and has now achieved its original target of collecting data from over 1000 buildings. The Joint Research Centre (JRC) has therefore decided to close down the GreenBuilding Programme by 1st of October 2014.

Several EU Member States have implemented or are considering implementing energy efficiency obligation schemes (EEOSs). These schemes consist of energy saving obligations imposed on energy distributors and/or retail energy sales companies and are possibly coupled with a trading system.

Energy Generation and Distribution
When most people talk about "clean energy," they often mean wind or solar power, and when they're discussing "energy conservation," they're usually talking about doing things like remembering to turn off the lights. But energy conservation, sometimes called energy efficiency, IS clean energy just like solar and wind. It's also cheaper than fossil fuels and doesn't create pollution.

The main purpose of this scientific report is to provide an assessment of the Covenant of Mayors (CoM) Initiative 6 years after it has been initiated by the European Commission. By implementing the CoM Initiative, the European Commission has given visibility to the role of local authorities and their relevant contribution to EU2020 Climate and Energy targets. This is the second assessment report in a series of CoM...
