Jean-Sébastien Broc

Senior expert - Energy and consumers team lead
Based in France

Jean Sébastien Broc has more than 15 years of experience in analysing and evaluating energy efficiency policies. He is the coordinator of the LIFE project ENSMOV Plus (about the implementation of the Article 7 fo the Energy Efficiency Directive; 2022-2025). He is also involved in other European projects and studies, including streamSAVE (about energy savings calculations; 2020-2023), CoolLIFE (about sustainable solutions for space cooling; 2022-2025), SocialWatt (about energy efficiency schemes to tackle energy poverty; 2019-2023) and REGIO1ST (about energy efficiency first in regional planning; 2022-2025).


Previously, he was the coordinator of the Horizon 2020 ENEFIRST project (about making the energy efficiency first principle operational; 2019-2022), and involved in other European projects and studies, including ENSMOV (about Article 7 EED; 2019-2022), EPATEE (about the evaluation of energy efficiency policies; 2017-2019), EMEEES (about methods to evaluate energy savings; 2007-2009).


He was a nominated expert in the French delegation to the Concerted Action of the Energy Services Directive, then Energy Efficiency Directive, from 2008 to 2017. He was convenor of the Working Group 7 of ISO Technical Committee 301, about the development of standard ISO 50046 on quantification of predicted energy savings. He was also an external expert supporting the JRC in reviewing the NEEAPs (National Energy Efficiency Action Plans) in 2014 and 2017, and did several studies for ADEME (French agency of ecological transition).


He is a board member of the Energy Evaluation association, a reviewer for several scientific journals and was co-panel leader for the monitoring & evaluation panel at the ECEEE Summer Study in 2009 and 2015. He has published more than 20 papers in scientific journals or peer-reviewed proceedings of international conferences, including comparative analyses of energy efficiency policies and reviews of their evaluations. Jean-Sébastien holds an energy engineering degree from INSA Lyon (2003) and a PhD in energy engineering from Mines ParisTech (2006).
