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
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
The proposals to reinforce the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) are currently being discussed by the EU Council and the European Parliament. This is the chance for the EED to drive energy efficiency policy into the 21st century, by using meter data to estimate energy savings and the piloting of pay-for-performance (P4P) support schemes. This briefing
As the latest developments emphasize, it is all the more clear that we need to speed up the transition from fossil fuels to renewable and sustainable energy sources. For this to happen, an increased focus on energy efficiency and investments in retrofitting projects are crucial. In this webinar, the three H2020 EU-funded projects, SENSEI, frESCO
