Energy Efficiency First
Principle
▪ Energy efficiency is an energy source in its own right
▪ The IEA called energy efficiency the “first fuel” in 2013
▪ It showed that energy savings from efficiency measures
exceeded the output of every other fuel in 11 IEA countries from
1974-2010

EERAdata starting point
Principle
Is the Energy Efficiency First principle the right approach?
… there is need to gather the evidence on the benefits of EE in
ecological and socio-economic terms as well as on its interactions
with the broader policy context and energy market

EERAdata
in a Nutshell
▪ We accompany municipalities from the collection of their building stock data
from different sources,(merging data) to analysis and assessment of this data
by ecological, economical and environmental criteria.
▪ We develop a tool which is easing the process of guiding sustainable
renovation activities for portfolio managers, city planners and related
stakeholders
▪ This results in long-term renovation strategies, focusing on energy efficiency,
socio-economic benefits and ecological quality of existing buildings

Implementation
3 Clusters for
Implementation
Strong Stakeholder
network
Collaboration outside
the consortium
Workshops
Symbiosis with other
projects
Partner municipalities will
participate to the design of the tool
and test its application in regional
pilots.
The pilots will be part of a wider
process of stakeholder
engagement aimed at ensuring the
usefulness of the different
instruments, their applicability
across different geographical and
economic contexts, and its adoption
beyond the life-span of the
project.

EERAdata
Methodology
EERAdata operationalises the Energy Efficiency First principle by assessing and
quantifying relevant technical, economic, socio-economic and environmental
variables, indicators and impacts across relevant sectors and markets.
