Periodic Reporting for period 1 - MICAT (Multiple Impacts CAlculation Tool)
Periodo di rendicontazione: 2020-10-01 al 2022-03-31
II. Development of a methodological framework and concepts for the aggregation of monetary values of the multiple impacts assessed and for conducting a comprehensive cost-benefits analysis (CBA). It serves to operationalise the CBA in the MICAT online tool. This includes a) the identification of primary target groups b) the analysis of possibilities for the aggregation of quantified impacts without double-counting c) identification of suitable indicators for cost-effectiveness including the multiple benefits of energy efficiency.
III. Research of quantification and monetisation methodologies for all indicators in the three MI categories (social, economic and environmental impacts) and development of impact factors or functions for inclusion in the MICATool. This also includes a first series of factsheets on a number of indicators, which will be completed in the second half of the project.
IV. First selection of energy efficiency policy measures and scenarios which will be assessed by the MICATool.
V. Development of the structure of the MICATool.
VI. Development of a core stakeholders’ engagement strategy for the three governance levels taken into account in the MICAT project (local, national, EU). Before the relevant stakeholders have been identified, three cities and three EU Member states have been chosen which directly participate in the MICATool and deliver the necessary input data. At the local level, the following cities have been selected in a tender process: Vitoria-Gasteiz (Basque Country, Spain), Calvià (Mallorca, Spain) and Tartu (Tartumaa, Estonia). At the national level, the following Member States have been chosen: Germany, Italy, and Poland.
VII. Conduction of a first series of stakeholder workshops at the three levels of the analysis (EU, national, local). The aim was to specify the needs related to the monitoring of multiple impacts in the respective governance level’s scenarios and policies, including collecting information on the available input data, which will then determine the output results of the tool. On top of this, during this step, the consortium collected the level of interest of the various governance levels on each of the proposed social, economic, and environmental MICAT indicators.
VIII. Development of the communication, dissemination and exploitation strategy for the MICAT project. In the beginning of the project, this strategy was laid down in a plan, which was and will be updated and adapted in the course of the project. Major tools for project communication and dissemination and exploitation of the MICAT results are a stakeholder database, the project websites and other materials as e.g. press releases, indicator fact sheets, key deliverables as well as conference and journal papers and presentations.
