Final report of the ELISE Energy & Location Applications Use case "Comparative analysis of different methodologies and datasets for Energy Performance Labelling of buildings". According to studies carried out by European Commission Directorate-General for Energy (DG ENER), buildings are responsible for approximately 40% of the primary energy consumption in Europe. Therefore, there is a vital need to take actions to improve the energy efficiency of the building stock. Predictions of the heat demand at the building level, for an entire district or city, could provide valuable support to…

Final report of the ELISE Energy & Location Applications Use case "EPC4EU - Harmonisation of datasets of Energy Performance Certificates of buildings across Europe". Nowadays, datasets of Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) of buildings in Europe are highly heterogeneous: they follow different EPC schemes making their comparison challenging.This report shows in the first place how a European-wide harmonised EPC scheme would be very beneficial to compare EPC datasets across countries and regions. Secondly, it showcases how Regional Energy Agencies can actively support energy efficiency…

Final report of the ELISE Energy & Location Applications Use case "Scale-up methodologies". Enhancing energy efficiency has become a priority for the European Union. Several policies and initiatives aim to improve the energy performance of buildings and collect data of sufficient quality on the effect of energy efficiency policies on building stocks across Europe. Knowledge about the characteristics of the building stock and the usage of these buildings' occupants is essential for defining and assessing strategies for energy savings.Nowadays, dynamic measured data from the Advanced Metering…

Final report of the ELISE Energy & Location Applications Use case "Supporting the design and implementation of a regional energy strategy". The main problem addressed by this report is the lack of data and of documented data flows supporting the design and implementation of a regional energy strategy. The scarcity of existing documentation/best practices focusing on the role that geospatial data and technologies - particularly INSPIRE data - can play in the context of a regional energy strategy is also tackled.The report provides insights on three main aspects of the problem:— It provides an…
