Abstract:
The European Union considers energy efficiency (EE) is one of the primary objectives of the EU, as it is considered one of the most cost effective ways to enhance security of energy supply and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). Yet, so far, only about half of the energy efficiency improvement potential is actually realised due to market barriers and inefficient enforcement of related legislation. Several programmes have been set up in order to stimulate EE investments, particularly in the building stock.
