The European Commission, along with national and regional authorities, are expanding programs and measures regarding energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.

This session aims to clarify these objectives, and give participants key insights into understanding and applying the methods used to measure energy efficiency, and energy and CO2 reduction performances.

At the conclusion of this seminar, the participants will have:

• A clear understanding of European and national objectives for energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction
• A knowledge of basic methods used in measuring progress regarding energy efficiency and CO2 reduction
• An abilitity to apply those methods to evaluate the success of completed or ongoing
  energy efficiency / CO2 abatement projects

The training is intended for managers and staffs of departments that focus on sustainable development, energy efficiency, climate change, and renewables; and who work for government and other relevant agencies at the national, regional and local levels. It is also intended for managers of companies in the energy setor impacted by energy efficiency and CO2 reduction initiatives.

The sessions will rely on cases studies and interaction among the participant. They will include quality support materials.
