Cit’ergie is an operational device (label) addressed to local communities which want to improve their energy policy (sustainable energy actions plan) and its actions resulting from it. It awards the quality of actions, management of project, local concertation. The label is derived from the European label Energy Award.
The local community have to:
1. Make an inventory on the 6 areas considered in Cit'ergie,
2. Validate an energy-climate policy and local actions plan,
3. Conduct an external audit for check the policy and actons,
4. Realize an audit every 4 years to maintain or improve its level of labeling.
Transferability
YES.
The label is derived from the European label Energy Award. It supports municipalities willing to contribute to sustainable energy policy and urban development through the rational use of energy and increased use of renewable energies. This label is currently implemented in 9 countries (Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, Switzerland).
