[Report] Policy developments in EU and strategies for P4P business models
Pay-for-performance (P4P) is the key concept behind SENSEI business models. In a P4P scheme for financing energy retrofit projects, financial flows between the involved parties are linked to the actual – metered – and weather-normalised energy savings. This approach encourages long-term investment and transparent cash-flows (pay) in energy-efficient buildings by metering energy savings smart and […]

Περί φυσικού αερίου στην Κορινθία
Μετά τις εξαγγελίες ότι το φυσικό αέριο θα έρθει επιτέλους στην Κορινθία, και δεδομένης της καθαρής ενεργειακής μετάβασης που έχουμε στοχεύσει σαν χώρα και σαν Ευρώπη, εύλογα διερωτάται κανείς ότι πώς το φυσικό αέριο, που ανήκει στα ορυκτά καύσιμα, θα συμβάλει στους στόχους αυτούς και πως θα βοηθήσει την κοινωνία τοπικά? Παρακάτω θέτουμε κάποια ερωτήματα […]

Experience and lessons learned from P4P pilots for energy efficiency: new findings from H2020 SENSEI
Europe’s buildings have the potential to play a key role in our future energy systems. Making them more efficient reduces the need for expensive power plant capacity, defers the costly upgrading of network infrastructure and enables this infrastructure to be used with more flexibility. Energy efficiency is still not adequately compensated for these benefits, acting […]
