“ODYSSEE-MURE, Monitoring EU Energy Efficiency First Principle and Policy Implementation” 2019-2021

The project is funded by the Horizon2020 Program and its duration is 30 months, starting June 2019. ODYSSEE MURE 2019-2021 main objectives are:
→ Provide well updated information on energy efficiency indicators through the ODYSSEE database and its indicator tools
→ Redesign and update the MURE database on policy measures and its policy tools
→ Include the influence of societal trends which may enhance or reduce energy consumption (such as rebound effects, shared economy, digital economy)
→ Provide innovative training and didactical documents to raise the capacity of national, regional and local administrations in the field of energy efficiency monitoring and impact evaluation
→ Provide support to MS in developing indicators of the EE1FP
→ Extend the evaluation of the impact of energy efficiency to all their multiple benefits
→ Support governments with information on specific energy efficiency policies to combat energy poverty

The current project has new general topic: “Supporting public authorities to implement the Energy Union/Supporting the delivery of EED” and new topical issues: Energy efficiency first fuel, fuel poverty, sufficiency, more updated indicators, continuation of Multiple Benefits.

A network of 36 partners from 31 countries participate to the ODYSSEE MURE project (New funded partners: Serbia and Switzerland, ECEEE), usually national Efficiency Agencies or their representatives within the European network of energy efficiency agencies (EnR).
SEDA is the project partner from Bulgaria.

Concerted Action EPBD IV

The Concerted Action EPBD (CA EPBD) addresses the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). It aims to contribute to the reduction of energy use in European buildings, through the exchange of knowledge and best practices in the field of energy efficiency and energy savings between all 28 EU Member States plus Norway.
The EPBD is a cornerstone in EU legislation, and was developed to realise the saving potential in buildings, as they account for almost 40% of the consumption of energy in the EU. Full and efficient transposition of this directive is therefore central in achieving EU energy saving and carbon emission targets. The EPBD is considered as a significant legislative component in EU energy efficiency policy, and was adopted to contribute to the Kyoto commitment, securing energy supply and competitiveness.
The CA EPBD is a joint initiative between the EU Member States and the European Commission. It involves representatives of national ministries or their affiliated institutions who are in charge of preparing the technical, legal and administrative framework for the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (2002/91/EC) and the recast (2010/31/EC) in each EU Member State, plus Norway. The objective is to enhance the sharing of information and experiences from national adoption and implementation of this important European legislation.
The first CA EPBD was launched in 2005 and came to a close in June 2007. A second phase followed immediately after the first CA EPBD, and a third phase ran from 2011 to 2015.
The current CAIV_EPBD runs from October 2015 to March 2018 and aims to transpose and implement the EPBD recast, Directive 2010/31/EU. It is organised around meetings between national teams, regularly bringing together over 120 participants from 29 countries. It is accompanied by other measures to enhance communication, including a web platform and national reports. The Bulgarian participant in the project is the Sustainable Energy Development Agency (SEDA).
The CA EPBD has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.

„ODYSSEE-MURE, a decision support tool for energy efficiency policy evaluation“ Project

The project is funded by the Horizon2020 Program. It started on 1 February 2016 and shall continue 30 months. Bulgarian partner of the project is SEDA.
The project relies on two complementary Iinternet databases, that are regularly updated by the network of national teams (once to twice a year):
      -    ODYSSEE, managed by Enerdata, that contains detailed energy efficiency and CO2-indicators with data on energy consumption, their drivers (activity indicators) and their related CO2-emissions.
      -   MURE, managed by ISINNOVA, that contains a description, with their impact evaluation whenever available, of all energy efficiency measures implemented at EU or national level.
Project objectives:
The general objective of the project is to provide a comprehensive monitoring of energy consumption and efficiency trends as well as an evaluation of energy efficiency policy measures by sector for EU countries and Norway.
      -    Evaluate and compare energy efficiency progress by sector, and relate this progress to the observed trends in energy consumption.
      -   Contribute to the evaluation of national energy efficiency policy measures and analyse the dynamics of implementation over the NEAAPs.
To provide results in an interactive and attractive way to decision makers and actors involved in energy efficiency, the project will develop specific data facilities. The originality of the project is to cover all sectors and end-uses with a homogeneous and harmonised approach and to provide an overall picture of the trends and measures by sector.
Partners:
A network of 33 partners from 28 countries participate to the ODYSSEE MURE project, usually national Efficiency Agencies or their representatives within the European network of energy efficiency agencies.

Concerted Action Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (CA-EPBD)

In 2004 the European Commission started a project for concerted actions about introducing Directive 2002/91/EC “Energy Performance of Buildings Directive” (CA-EPBD) in the framwork of Intelligent Energy Europe Programme. Energy Efficiency Agency (EEA) was authorized to join this project as a partner from Bulgaria. The participation of EEA in this project led to the successful harmonisation of this Directive in the Bulgarian legislation.
