The lack of the overall understanding of the impact of energy-efficient investments has made it difficult for policymakers to integrate it into their policymaking process. There was a need to gather evidence on the benefit of energy efficiency in ecological and socio-economic terms. These were the challenges that project EERAdata has addresses over the three years with the help of academics and experts throughout Europe. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020.
Project partners worked with several municipalities to identify old building stock that was upgraded to be more energy efficient. The project encouraged local authorities to not rule out the renovation of old building stock – thus transforming regions and municipalities towards a sustainable and energy-efficient future. Partners had worked with 2 pilot local authorities City of Copenhagen in Denmark and the Municipality of Velenje in Slovenia to create a decision-making tool that indentified older building stock that could be upgraded to be more energy efficient.
The team behind EERAdata accessed the technical and socio-economical information across the relevant sector to develop the appropriate methodology and data analysis framework to plan and compare investment and impact in Energy Efficient Buildings.
This data and information was then used to create a user-friendly tool that enables policymakers to plan and prioritise EE Investment.
