Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Synergies in Energy Efficiency Projects

Closed

CAMS Platform aims to capitalize results of ongoing EU INTERREG and other EU energy efficiency projects. The platform will explore how energy efficiency measures could be improved and used to increase the resilience of housing sector to negative effects of long-term climate change; how energy audits could be upgraded to serve relevant measures, developing accessible database for energy performance audits of buildings, especially the unified energy performance criteria for multi-storey buildings. Platform tackles the issue of how to use available financial sources better for achieving climate goals by developing policy recommendations for planning ESIF in coming EU MFF 2021-2027 and guidelines for further energy efficiency (EE) projects, so to create synergy between EE and climate change mitigation and adaptation. Project activities are divided into 4 Work Packages (WPs). WP1 is for Project management, Communication, dissemination and reporting, led by Project partner (PP) 1: Tartu Regional Energy Agency - TREA. Activities within WP1 include management and communication, running project website for outreach and arranging 2 meetings in Tartu, Estonia: kick-off meeting for detailed planning of project activities and final conference for presenting and disseminating the results. PP's contribute to WP1 tasks related to the activities they are involved and responsible for. WP2 is for capitalisation of ongoing energy efficiency projects in BSR, enhancing building energy performance auditing. LP for this WP is County Government of Dalarna (PP2). Activities include development of energy audit database. For unification and harmonisation of the energy audits across the BSR, a series of pilot energy audits in Estonia, Latvia, Poland and Sweden will be carried out by respective PP's experts (licenced auditors). WP3 led by BEF Germany (PP8) focuses on capitalisation of the results of the ARCEE project and foresees preparation of the Qualification programme on housing refurbishment for BSR which is adjusted to all participating BSR countries. WP4 led by CBSS (PP4) facilitates the climate adaptation and mitigation policy dialogue, resulting in policy recommendations and guidance for climate-proofing ESIF projects. The Russian contexts and dissemination for seeking mitigation-adaptation synergies is provided by Peter the Great St.Petersburg Polytechnic University (PP10).
