Streamlining Energy Savings Calculations

Project description

New measures with high energy saving potential

The EU-funded streamSAVE will assist member states in improving their estimates regarding energy savings. StreamSAVE’s main goal is to expand the policy scope of energy efficiency actions in member states to achieve potential energy savings that were unexploited so far. The savings actions will be targeted measures with high energy saving potential. First, the project will concentrate on how member states can streamline and improve their bottom-up energy savings calculations. Second, it will foster peer-to-peer dialogues among public authorities and other key stakeholders to share experiences. Third, it will focus on capacity support to assist member states in implementing streamlined energy savings calculations. An online platform will be uploaded to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experiences among member states according to the three above-mentioned points.

Objective

streamSAVE will support Member States in harmonizing accurate, bottom-up energy savings calculations of technical priority actions under Article 7, as well as Article 3 of Member States’ EED reporting. The actions will be targeted to those measures with high energy saving potential and considered as priority issues by Member States. To understand Member States’ priorities, the consortium performed an online survey in May 2019 (explained below).
For each of the identified priority actions, streamSAVE is fostering transnational knowledge exchange between public authorities and other key-stakeholders along the following axes:
- Axis 1: Knowledge facility where Member States are guided through the status of energy saving methodologies in the EU28 and how they can streamline and improve their bottom-up energy savings calculations.
- Axis 2: Peer-to-peer dialogues among public authorities and other key-stakeholders to share experiences, reflect on and validate the streamlined calculation methodologies.
- Axis 3: Capacity support facility assisting Member States in implementing streamlined energy savings calculations for specific requests to improve their obligations under Article 3 and Article 7 of the Energy Efficiency Directive
An online streamSAVE platform will be set-up to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experiences among Member States according to the three axes, which is illustrated in the next figure. The project would assist Member States to deliver rapidly scalable savings and hence maximize their chances of successfully meeting the EED energy savings targets. Methodologies developed in this way would be eligible for use on a voluntary basis, but would benefit from the pooling of European expertise and experience and thus support best practice while avoiding duplicative effort.
