The book presents in detail the SENSEI methodology for measurement and verification of energy savings in a P4P program. The methodology has some unique characteristics that make it appropriate for P4P applications: (a) it ignores changes in energy consumption that can be accounted for by changes in activity/occupancy levels, (b) it can deal with intermittent
On 24 January, the SENSEI team held its final conference, in the heart of the European Quarter in Brussels, gathering 14 speakers to present the project achievements, discuss the policy aspects relating to buildings' energy efficiency, and the next steps and opportunities for the pay for performance business model to find its spot. Online and
A total of 40 percent of energy consumption in the EU takes place within existing buildings[1], thus retrofitting with energy efficiency measures could result in sizable impacts in the fight against climate change. The financial benefits of more efficient buildings are clear, but how can we attract further investment to these projects? The H2020 project
How can the Pay-for-Performance (P4P) model contribute to increasing Energy Efficiency rates and investments in the European Union? Can energy savings be seen as a resource? How will the implementation of energy retrofitting projects positively impact different groups of stakeholders? These and other topics will be discussed during a Capacity Building Event, which will
Buildings account for approximately 40% of Europe’s final energy consumption, the total of which can be significantly reduced by implementing energy efficiency (EE) measures in households. Despite the direct benefits related to these measures, renovation rates still remain low due to the difficulty of attracting investments to fund retrofits. To help solve this issue, the
