Some examples on how to estimate the impacts of SEAP actions/measures in 2020.

Streetlight-EPC - Checklist

Street lighting can account for up to 30-50 % of the total electricity consumption of municipalities. The recent market introduction of LED technology for street lighting offers high savings with comparatively short pay-back times.

Municipalities are faced with an urgent need to act: nearly 80 % of all currently used street lighting lamps will be "phased out" by 2017, which means they will no longer be available for purchase. In most cases this will entail substantial investments, thus presenting a major problem for many municipalities.

Renewable energy technologies/sources...

Renewable energy technologies/sources (hydropower, wind power, solar power, marine-energy, geothermal energy, heat pumps, biomass and biofuels) are alternatives to fossil fuels contributing to the improvement of environment, enhancement of energy security and diversification of energy supply. In line with Article 4 and Article 22 of the Directive 2009/28/EC Member States (MS) have submitted to the European Commission their national renewable energy action plans (NREAPs) and biennial progress reports.

Proceedings of the 8th International...

At the EEDAL'15 conference 128 papers dealing with energy consumption and energy efficiency improvements for the residential sector have been presented. Papers focused policies and programmes, technologies and consumer behaviour. Special focus was on standards and labels, demand response and smart meters. All the paper s have been peer reviewed by experts in the sector.

Energy efficiency in public and...

This report examines investment in energy efficiency in public and residential buildings supported by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Cohesion Fund (CF) during the 2007-2013 programming period. It forms one of the thematic work packages of the European Commission’s ERDF/Cohesion Fund ex post evaluation 2007-2013 of 320 co-funded programmes.

Survey of energy audits and energy...

This report, conducted by the Joint Research Centre for DG ENERGY, during the last trimester of 2013 and the first trimester of 2014, identifies the status of the programmes promoting Energy Audits and Energy Management Systems in the Member States of the European Union in order to realize which of the requirements of Article 8 of the Energy Efficiency Directive were already met and to understand the level of additional effort needed by the Member States to meet their obligations under the named article.

Development of the World-wide...

This paper presents the World-wide harmonized Light duty Test Cycle (WLTC), developed under the Working Party on Pollution and Energy (GRPE) and sponsored by the European Union (with Switzerland) and Japan. India, Korea and USA have also actively contributed. The objective was to design the harmonized driving cycle from ‘‘real world’’ driving data in different regions around the world, combined with suitable weighting factors.

Assessment of the progress towards the...

The European Climate and Energy package foresees a substantial reduction of energy consumptions in buildings by 2020. The implementation of Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEBs) as the building target from 2018 onwards represents one of the biggest challenges to increase energy savings and minimize greenhouse gas emissions.
The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the European status towards the implementation of nZEBs. The main open issues are presented together with categories, definitions, and calculation methodologies.

Demand Response status in Member States...

In the framework of the on-going work to transpose and implement the Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU and in particular its Article 15 on Energy Transformation, Transmission and Distribution, this workshop aims at drawing an overall picture of the status of Demand Response in the Member States.

This report provides results of analysis of data for 2009 and 2010 provided by signatories of the EU ICT Code of Conduct for Broadband equipment V2 and V3.

Since data on V2 was provided by one signatory per year only, this data will not be reported. Most data was provided for 2010 for V3; therefore the analysis will concentrate on this data.

The Covenant of Mayors: In-depth...

As part of the European Commission’s Covenant of Mayors Initiative, the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre has carried out an in-depth analysis of selected sustainable energy action plans (SEAPs). Based on a sample of 25 cities from different EU Member States, the study seeks to identify and extract the common and most important characteristics of how local authorities across Europe are developing and implementing this policy.
