SubsidieMeestersIntegration of non-energy benefits into energy audit practices to accelerate the uptake of recommended measures
The project aims to develop a new energy audit methodology that includes non-energy benefits to enhance investment in energy efficiency measures in the food and beverage sector.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Energy audit has a high impact on energy efficiency investments, providing tailor-made recommendations and helping to overcome the information gap regarding barriers to energy efficiency. However, the current energy audit approach usually includes only analysis on direct energy cost savings.
Non-Energy Benefits
Non-energy benefits (NEBs) such as improved product quality, indoor comfort, increased productivity, less downtime due to maintenance, and other important benefits are not addressed. This means that energy audits underestimate the true value of energy efficiency measures, which leads to slower uptake of recommended measures.
Current Limitations
The aspect of NEBs and its perception by enterprises is not shown in the current energy audit calculation methodologies. Only the direct energy savings are presented in energy audits. Moreover, the national energy efficiency programs for industry also do not consider the inclusion of NEBs.
Impact on Investments
As a result, energy efficiency and renewable energy projects, which are of greater importance for enterprises but yield lower energy savings, fail to access the investments necessary for project implementation.
Project Aim
Therefore, the project aims to develop a new calculation methodology and result presenting approach for enterprises to clearly show and assess their potential overall benefit. This includes:
- Multiple benefits of energy efficiency
- Non-energy benefits (NEBs) from the implementation of energy efficiency measures
- Fostering investments in energy efficiency and sustainable actions
Methodological Approach
The new methodological approach will be added to the existing energy auditing practices in each partner country and tested by carrying out pilot energy audits in the food and beverage sector.
Dissemination of Results
Results will be presented to policymakers, energy experts, and other industries for the takeover of the methodological approach on a larger scale.
