 This report aims to assess the extent to which the buildings-related datasets which European Member States are sharing following INSPIRE provisions are of good quality and can serve the purposes of the initiatives related to energy efficiency of buildings. 

The purpose of the present guidebook is to help the Covenant of Mayors signatories to reach the commitments they have taken by signing the Covenant, and in particular to prepare within the year following their official adhesion a Baseline Emission Inventory (BEI) and a Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP).

The main objective of this workshop was to share experience in data collection and methodologies to support energy efficiency policies and scope a possible pilot. The aim of a pilot project is to establish a harmonised approach supporting European Directives on Energy Efficiency (EED), Energy Performance of Buildings (EPBD) and the Covenant of Mayors initiative using INSPIRE as a ‘location’ framework facilitating a harmonized exchange of data.

At the EEDAL'15 conference 128 papers dealing with energy consumption and energy efficiency improvements for the residential sector have been presented. Papers focused policies and programmes, technologies and consumer behaviour. Special focus was on standards and labels, demand response and smart meters. All the paper s have been peer reviewed by experts in the sector.

This book contains the proceedings of the 9th International Conference Improving Energy Efficiency in Commercial Buildings and Smart Communities which took place in Frankfurt, Germany 16-18 March 2016.

The European Union Location Framework (EULF) project promotes effective location-enabled e-government across Europe, as part of the Interoperability Solutions for Public Administrations (ISA) programme.

The implementation of energy efficiency policies is challenging, and the full potential of energy efficiency is far from realised, for financial, behavioural and regulatory reasons. Obstacles include high upfront investment costs, access to finance, lack of information, split incentives and rebound effects.
