The Investor Confidence Project (ICP), a project of the Environmental Defense Fund, defines a clear road-map from retrofit opportunity to reliable Investor Ready Energy Efficiency™. With a suite of Commercial and Multifamily Energy Performance Protocols in place, ICP reduces transaction costs by assembling existing standards and practices into a consistent and transparent process that promotes efficient markets by increasing confidence in energy efficiency as a demand-side resource. www.europe.eeperformance.org
Funded by the European Commission for €1.7 million under the Horizon 2020 Programme for Research and Innovation, SEAF is a two year project. It aims to make Sustainable Energy Assets (SEA) such as Demand Response, Energy Efficiency and Distributed Renewable Generation accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through the development of a streamlined software platform that will be designed to function in ten European member states (Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain and the UK). The work is divided into 6 packages among its partners. www.seaf-h2020.eu
Funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 Programme for Research and Innovation, EPC+ is a project aimed to reduce transaction costs of energy service packages drastically so that smaller investments and projects in SMEs become possible for companies offering energy services. The major outputs of the project include the development of commercial, standardized energy service packages for SMEs, the implementation of pilot projects for the EPC+ packages and the set-up and management of clusters of companies (SPINS). Finally, EPC+ aims to develop an international e-market for energy service providers. www.epcplus.org
