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.
The launch is also a call upon the energy efficiency community to contribute to the collective effort of strengthening the knowledge base in this field of growing importance. The JRC provides the web platform as a tool to facilitate knowledge exchange and ensures that the needs of the online community experts are met. The JRC will also strive to ensure that data and information provided are consolidated and validated by peers.
The E3P is organised around the six thematic areas of energy efficiency in products, cities, buildings, transport, industry and distribution (heating, cooling and electricity). The online platform has 3 main interactive and collaborative features: the Data Hub to share datasets, the wiKEE where users can collaborate in writing articles and the Community area where experts can create Groups.
The E3P will provide robust data and analysis to support the development, implementation and monitoring of energy efficiency policy, industry, consumers' organisations, standardisation bodies, research institutes, the scientific community and NGOs at the EU, national, regional and local level.
