The successful H2020 ENSMOV PROJECT is back as ENSMOV Plus!
The new ENSMOV Plus project, co-funded by the European Union’s Life Programme, has officially kicked off! ENSMOV Plus, building on the existing knowledge and success of the previous HORIZON 2020 ENSMOV project, will directly support 11 Member States (Italy, France, Greece, Austria, Poland, Germany, Romania, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, Lithuania) to improve policy implementation, and evaluation, measurement and verification (EM&V) schemes and deliver on the ambitions of the new Fit for 55 agenda. More specifically, the project aims to support public authorities and key stakeholders in the implementation of Article 7 of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), and will develop resources…

Prof. Dr. Alexandros Flamos discusses key points on the issue of the energy crisis and the EU’s proposal for a cap on natural gas prices
Professor Dr. Alexandros Flamos, Director of the Technoeconomics Energy Systems laboratory (TEESlab), participated in a radio broadcast of the Greek radio station “SKAI 100.3FM”, where he discussed the issue of the energy crisis in Europe and the European Commission’s proposal for a cap on gas prices. Professor Flamos highlighted the important role that energy-efficiency measures and renovations can play in the energy transition, serving as a long-term strategy to reduce energy demand in the residential sector, and energy costs, especially burdening energy vulnerable households. He also added that, based on research studies conducted by TEESlab, the renovation rate in the…

How do you imagine the Energy Efficiency Aggregator business model?
An Energy Efficiency Aggregator can have different functions and roles including attracting customers, aggregating a sufficient number of buildings together into an energy savings portfolio, monitoring and evaluating the criteria for joining and selecting the projects, looking for investors and defining an energy efficiency programme. The H2020 SENSEI project has launched a survey to help in developing the Energy Efficiency Aggregator business model and support the replicability of Pay-for-Performance schemes in the EU. The questionnaire aims to provide a better understanding of the following questions: What kind of services are expected from the Energy Efficiency Aggregator business model? What are…
