Local/regional/national authorities and facilitators

Provides a financial transposition of energy consumption data across territories + sectoral studies for a more detailed analysis.
Allows a better understanding of the energy impacts of tertiary businesses in the Île-de-France region ; estimates energy savings potential and the potential cost of consuming less.
 

Who: representatives of communities, technical services.
What: first approach to financial and energy savings achievable in the case of renovation
How to: comparison between the current state of the heritage of the community and the material by which she might have to replace it

OPEPA is intended to provide a comparison between the hardware on the lighting of a community and that by which she could replace it. It allows to give an overview of the financial and energy savings achievable in the case of renovation.

How do I use OPEPA ?

Booklet giving the key steps to recruit and train an eco-companion or ambassador for EE.

The booklet give the key elements to recruit an eco-companion to accompany inhabitants in their Energy Efficiency projects.

Project PlanETer (territorial energy planning). This R&D project has been funded with The Ark Energy program of the Foundation for innovation in the Valais.
The developed tool is intended to provide local  decision-makers, technology of systems of Geographic Information (GIS), a vision global and systemic municipal area from the perspective of the consumption of energy and the availability of local energy resources.

Handbook provides a classification of the energy efficiency projects in the budgets of local and regional government. It describes the process of preparation of energy efficiency projects, their implementation in the budgets of local and regional governments. Additionally, it provides examples of good practice energy efficiency projects funded by local and regional governments.

(EurActiv, 1 Dec 2017) The European Parliament says the EU’s proposed 2030 target for renewable energy needs to be raised in order to speed up deployment early in the next decade. But EU member states have a different idea.

This week, the Parliament’s Committee on Industry, Research and Energy voted to raise the proposed target for the share of renewables in the EU’s energy mix, from the Commission’s proposed 27% to 35%.

(Eco Business, 9 Nov 2017) Construction materials, buildings and transport are the main emitters of greenhouse gases at the city level - and their carbon footprint should be lowered, says a report.

Cities should try to slash the planet-warming gases pumped out beyond their own boundaries in the production of the vast quantities of goods and services they consume, researchers said.

It is a contract model for energy services and integral maintenance for buildings of public ownership. The aim is to promote efficiency in the final energy use in the buildings of the government and overcome the legal, administrative and technical barriers encountered by the public administrations in contracting these type of energy services.
