• Tools 19 August 2016 Building Energy Optimization (BEopt™) BEopt is a software tool that can evaluate residential building designs and identify cost-optimal efficiency packages at various levels of whole-house energy savings along the path to zero net energy. It is used to analyse both new construction and existing home retrofits, as well as single-family detached and multi-family buildings, through evaluation of single building designs, parametric sweeps, and cost-based optimizations. Aim To help evaluate building design and cost-optimal…
• Tools 19 August 2016 Tool for Rapid Assessment of City Energy (TRACE) This tool is a decision-support tool designed to help cities quickly identify under-performing sectors, evaluate improvement and cost-saving potential, and prioritize sectors and actions for energy efficiency (EE) intervention. It covers six municipal sectors: passenger transport, municipal buildings, water and waste water, public lighting, solid waste, and power and heat. Aim To prioritize sectors and actions for energy efficiency interventions. Target audience Local policy-makers …
• Tools 19 August 2016 Commercial Building Analysis Tool for Energy-Efficient Retrofits (COMBAT) The Commercial Building Analysis Tool for Energy-Efficiency Retrofit (COMBAT) is created to facilitate policy makers, facility managers, and building retrofit practitioners to estimate commercial (public) buildings retrofit energy saving, cost and payback period. Common commercial building models area created, and the retrofit measures and their effects are pre-computed by EnergyPlus by taking different building types and measures interactions into account. Aim To help estimate energy…
• Tools 19 August 2016 Benchmarking and Energy Saving Tool for Low Carbon Cities (BEST) The tool is designed to provide city authorities with strategies they can follow to reduce city-wide carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions. The tool quickly assesses local energy use and energy-related CO2 and CH4 emissions across nine sectors (i.e., industry, public and commercial buildings, residential buildings, transportation, power and heat, street lighting, water & wastewater, solid waste, and urban green space), giving officials a comprehensive perspective on their local…
• Tools 18 April 2016 ENSPOL: Knowledge Sharing Platform ENSPOL will develop detailed guidelines, tailored to the corresponding national circumstances and, by ensuring carefully planned and well managed stakeholder engagement activities, will successfully deliver a comprehensive package of support to MS, ensuring effective knowledge transfer and capacity building in project partner countries. The project, apart from building on traditional communication methods (conferences, workshops, newsletters etc.) will also exploit the benefits from more…
• Tools 18 April 2016 Article 7 insight: EU Outlook Overview of implementation of Article 7, EED from the EU level, in particular drawing on analysis undertaken within the ENSPOL project, but also other sources, including the European Commission, the Joint Research Centre and the Coalition for Energy Savings.
• Tools 21 March 2016 RenoValue - A training tool kit for property valuation of energy efficiency and renewable energy issues RenoValue is a 2-year project funded by the Intelligent Energy Europe Programme of the European Union. The project will develop a training toolkit for property valuation professionals on how to factor energy efficiency and renewable energy issues into valuation practices, understand the impact of building performance and property values and advise their clients accordingly.Empirical studies consistently show that within several markets around the globe property pricing differs between buildings…
• Tools 14 March 2016 UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY - Visualisation Tool The 2030 Agenda has set the of goal universal access to electricity by 2030. The challenge is significant. It involves reaching population with limited incomes, often living in sparsely populated areas, mostly in developing and least developed countries. Costs can tally. Taking into account local characteristics, this model finds the combination of technologies that can provide universal access to the population of every country at the lowest cost.The visualisation tool allows for further…
