Interest in quantifying energy savings achieved by vulnerable customers is growing

At a meeting of EU Member States on the Energy Efficiency Directive, calculations of energy and greenhouse gas savings for so-called vulnerable customers were presented. One of the Priority Actions is Energy Poverty, for which three calculation methods have been developed.

The methodology of Feedback and tailored advice (behavioural changes) specifically addresses behaviour measures that are based on “feedback” (direct feedback) and “feedback including tailored advice” (indirect feedback).

The scope of Small scale renewable heating system methodology is to estimate the annual energy and emission savings that can be achieved with the installation of small-scale renewable energy systems in dwellings occupied by energy poor households.

The Thermally refurbished buildings (thermal refurbishment) methodology allows evaluating the annual energy savings of measures related to the thermal refurbishment of existing residential buildings.

The streamSAVE+ project supports the selected Member States in improving their capacity to identify, adapt and implement new methodologies to calculate energy savings resulting from existing policies. These include, in particular, the transportation sector, heating in buildings, industrial technologies, and deep renovations. Special attention is given to emerging energy communities, public buildings, and positive energy districts.

The result of the streamSAVE+ project is a very useful online Calculation Platform for 15 Priority Actions. You can use the Calculation Platform after registering at: https://streamsaveplus.eu/
