StreamSAVE

Streamlining Energy Savings Calculations

September 2020 - September 2023

streamSAVE aims to assist Member States in their efforts to deliver rapidly scalable savings and increase their chances of successfully meeting energy efficiency targets under Article 3 and 7 of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED). A series of activities, divided into three categories, will be carried out with the intent of improving the energy saving methodologies capacities and skills of stakeholders across Europe.

The streamSAVE project received funding from the H2020 Programme under grant agreement N° 890147. The content of this website reflects only the author’s view. The European Commission is not responsible for any use that may be made of the information it contains.

Vision

As a 36-month Horizon 2020 project, streamSAVE aims to streamline energy savings calculation methodologies under Article 3 and 7 of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED). The project will bring together public authorities, technology experts and market actors to foster transnational knowledge exchange on technical priority actions across Europe.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY DIRECTIVE

The EED is a set of measures to increase energy efficiency throughout Europe. In 2018, the EED was revised and targets were increased to reach a sustainable and long-lasting Energy Union.

PRIORITY ACTIONS

Coordinated by VITO (Flemish Institute of Technological Research), the project will target Priority Actions (PAs), such as heat recovery and electric vehicles, that are selected based on stakeholder needs. Over the course of 36 months, 12 partners from 10 different countries will collaborate to carry out activities centered around each PA.

HELPING MEMBER STATES

Under the EED, Member States deliver quantitative energy savings and create new policy programmes, and/or make existing ones more effective. streamSAVE aims to facilitate the implementation of the EED across Member States, and ensure the replicability of streamSAVE methodologies and guidelines all over Europe.

Structure

MANAGEMENT : Work Package 1 consists of coordinating the technical, legal, financial and administrative aspects of the project as well as monitoring and managing risk.

KNOWLEDGE FACILITY : Work Package 2 will offer templates and guidance to Member States, centered around each Priority Action, to help them streamline and improve their estimations on energy savings and cost effectiveness. The research will start from current practices within Member States and will be shared via the streamSAVE platform.

KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE : Work Package 3 aims to develop capacity building among Member States by fostering experience sharing and knowledge exchange through peer-to-peer dialogues centered around each Priority Action. An online forum will be integrated on the streamSAVE platform mirroring the dialogues so that stakeholders can interact according to their needs and preferences.

CAPACITY SUPPORT FACILITY : In Work Package 4, demand-led and direct technical support will be provided on energy savings estimations to the 10 partner Member States. To maximise the replication potential towards all European Member States, the support facility will offer training on the streamSAVE platform to non-partner countries.

COMMUNICATION & STREAMSAVE PLATFORM : Work Package 5 is dedicated to all the communication and dissemination activities, plus the development of the streamSAVE platform.
