This report aims at showing the present status of energy consumption in the EU-28, in the four main energy consuming sectors: residential, tertiary, transport and industry. During the last years, there have been efforts by the European Union to cut down on energy consumption and improve energy...

Climate change is recognised as one of the key challenges humankind is facing. The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector including data centres generates up to 2% of the global CO2 emissions, a number on par to the aviation sector contribution, and data centres are estimated to...

This report assesses the potential benefits of the implementation of a European-wide voluntary certification scheme for non-residential buildings. Arising from Article 11 (9) of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, the European Voluntary Certification Scheme or EVCS should present as a...

The public sector is one of the key users of energy in Europe. Although, the relative energy consumption of the public sector is rather small, i.e. "only" about 5-10% of the total energy demand of European Member States, with an annual energy bill €47 billion (Borg & Co. et al. 2003), there...

This report reviews the current status of European Member States' regulation supporting Demand Response and Aggregation in the wholesale, balancing and ancillary electricity markets, as stipulated in Article 15 of the Energy Efficiency Directive. Demand Response is able to increase the system's...

In order to achieve the EU 20% reduction on primary energy consumption target by 2020, a change in consumer behaviour and energy consumption practices is needed. Following this principle, article 12 of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) requires that Member States (MSs) shall take appropriate...
