October 23 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Introduction
After several years of absence, eceee is now re-launching its series of annual Brussels in-person policy seminar. We are honoured to be joined by the IEA, presenting the 2024 IEA Energy Efficiency Market report, which will be launched the same day.
A just and inclusive energy transition is key to a successful implementation of Europe’s ambitious climate, energy transition and competitiveness policies. These issues are frequently discussed at eceee’s bi-annual summer studies. The seminar is held as part of the EU-funded Energy Efficiency Watch 5 project, to gather input for the EEW5 report on creating supporting narratives for strong energy efficiency policies.
Following the IEA presentation, eceee will present a policy brief on just and inclusive buildings efficiency policies, based on peer-reviewed papers and presentations from the 2024 Summer study and developed with the help of AI-based tools. We also have invited the European Commission to present their plans on ensuring buildings efficiency will benefit all EU citizens (TBC), as well as a representative from the Open Energy Transition study on buildings efficiency and demand reduction to manage the sustainable energy transition.
The seminar will thus discuss policies and supporting narratives for a just inclusive transition, present the policy brief and also discuss the process of using AI help synthesise the knowledge.
