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
Ground breaking tool measures energy savings across portfolios of buildings, which could be used to replace inaccurate ‘deemed’ estimates of energy savings, creating a foundation for energy companies to contract for energy savings instead of fossil fuels. A next generation energy efficiency meter named eensight has been created. The eensight tool is based
