Backed by the
EU Directive 2006/32/EC, this European project has developed
a suitable management framework for assisting public
bodies and especially local authorities
to implement energy services
including energy efficiency,
and thus to enhance the market of energy
efficiency and energy services, by providing efficient
tools to meet the needs of public
bodies and facilitating the work of ESCOs. The major outcome of
the project would be an increased number of public
bodies using energy services.
Opening of energy
markets and use of energy services represents a good
opportunity for local authorities to include energy
efficiency measures in their management, but several
problems can occur, such as lack of knowledge of existing
mechanisms, as third party financing, difficulties to
implement energy services (legislation, accounting schemes
etc), risk of losing the knowledge on energy consumption.
Concrete assistance
will help the local authorities overcoming their
non-technical barriers, to create a new market for
energy services and thus realise the high energy
efficiency potential in their building stock.
Below are the dissemination
tools that have been developed:
-
Guideline for Contract Design
-
Brochure on Energy Efficiency Services
- Case Studies in the UK
- Consortium Meetings:
- PU-BENEFS Progress
reports:
- Final Seminar
presentations:

Energy Savings in Public Sector Organisations
