Multi-level support for local authorities to improve Energy Efficiency

PUBLENEF Conference: Local authorities, as local consumers and producers (‘prosumers’) of energy, as local policy makers and being closest to their citizens are (should be) in the position to lead the local sustainable energy transition. Energy efficiency (EE) is a cornerstone of sustainable energy policies as EPBD and relevant national regulation on nearly zero energy building (NZEB) requirements demonstrate.

This session will aim at mapping of local authorities’ possibilities to deal with EE; means and needs of local authorities in energy efficiency, with special regard to nZEB buildings and renovation policies. Placed in a CEE regional context, our conference would share important supporting possibilities for public nZEB refurbishments.

Speakers will start with a short presentation of ca. 12-15 minutes, focusing on their role and leadership actions in energy efficiency (suggested focus on buildings’ energy efficiency) and on the support which they can share with others in favour of EE/nZEB investments. This will be followed by a moderated panel discussion with experts on the outcomes of C4E Conference[1].

After the panel discussion, a Q&A session will follow with the audience.
