The Energy Efficiency Improvement Program (EEIP) is an initiative that aims to reduce energy consumption and increase the use of renewable energy sources at the community level. This program aims to bring economic, social, and environmental benefits.
SEEI Technology is recognized for sustained excellence in energy efficiency and has been evaluated and accredited by the Department of Energy Efficiency of the Ministry of Energy. The accreditation confirms that SEEI Technology meets the criteria and standards required to provide high-quality energy services. As an energy service provider, SEEI Technology can offer various solutions and services for improving energy efficiency in multiple sectors.
Who is obligated to implement an energy efficiency improvement program?
Due to the important role of urban communities in implementing national energy efficiency policies, the Department of Energy Efficiency within the Ministry of Energy, according to Law 121/2014, subsequently amended by Law 160/2016, introduced specific obligations regarding the implementation of energy efficiency programs. All regulations must comply with the European Green Deal.
- Local public administration authorities in cities with a population of over 5,000 inhabitants are required to prepare EEIP (Energy Efficiency Improvement Program) and SEAP (Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan),
which include energy efficiency measures for the next 3-6 years. - Local public administration authorities in cities with a population of over 20,000 inhabitants have the following obligations:
- To follow the objectives set within the SEAP.
- To appoint a certified energy manager in accordance with the applicable legislation or to conclude an energy management contract with an individual certified in accordance with the provisions of the law or with a legal entity that provides approved energy services according to the provisions of the law.
These obligations have been established to ensure the efficient implementation of energy efficiency measures at the local community level and promote more sustainable energy use. The goal of pursuing the set objectives and involving energy managers or energy service providers is to optimize energy consumption and utilization within local communities.
What does the energy efficiency improvement program in cities entail?
- Development of a personalized energy efficiency improvement program tailored to your needs and objectives. This program includes strategies and concrete measures for optimizing energy consumption and utilization.
- We provide annual support for updating and reviewing the existing Energy Efficiency Improvement Program and take into consideration new technologies, regulations, and energy efficiency objectives.
- We work together with representatives of the city or administrative-territorial unit to identify and develop a set of measurements for increasing energy efficiency. This plan includes actions and objectives for 3 to 6 years.
- Provision of detailed reports that assess the energy cost impact and identify potential energy savings. These reports provide a clear perspective on energy consumption and the effectiveness of implemented measures.
- Support in negotiating energy prices to obtain more favorable conditions. We can also assist in the centralized procurement process of utilities to achieve economic benefits and increased efficiency.
- Periodic evaluations and quantifications of energy savings achieved through the implementation of energy efficiency projects and local renewable sources. These evaluations provide valuable data and information to monitor progress and identify new optimization opportunities.
- Support in implementing pilot projects to test and evaluate the efficiency and viability of new energy efficiency technologies and solutions.
Main recommended solutions:
Energy Efficiency
Promotion and implementation of energy efficiency measures in public and private buildings. Use of efficient lighting systems, optimization of heating and cooling systems, installation of energy-efficient equipment and technologies, energy consumption monitoring, and educating people in the energy efficiency domain.
Renewable Energy
Development and utilization of renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy, hydroelectric power, geothermal energy, or biomass. Execution of local renewable energy production projects and encouraging the use of green energy in buildings and public infrastructure.
nZEB Architecture
The sustainability of the European society and economy will be based on renewable energy and resource efficiency. This implies the large-scale deployment of nearly Zero Energy Buildings for the Building sector. The technology is available and proven, however, the large-scale uptake of nZEB construction and renovation is still a challenge for all market actors and stakeholders involved. A substantial gap in reliable data on current market activities made it difficult for policymakers to evaluate the success of their policies.
Implementing the nZEB standard is a way to reduce the environmental impact, improve energy efficiency, and promote the use of renewable resources. These buildings can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and creating a more sustainable and comfortable living environment.
An nZEB utilizes advanced construction technologies and strategies to minimize energy demand. The reduced energy consumption of the building is mostly covered by renewable sources such as photovoltaic solar panels, heat pumps, or other renewable energy sources.
