Energy efficiency

Energy conservation and energy efficiency are important subjects in the group National Energy and Emission Strategy of ECN Policy Studies. Although these subjects mainly focus on the situation in the Netherlands, the influence of European energy and climate policy plans is increasing. Also, these subjects are strongly related to the activities in one or more of the other groups of ECN Policy Studies.

Under this theme you will find information (mostly in Dutch) about:

• the impact of consumer behavior on energy savings,
• policy instruments to enhance energy efficiency,
• results of monitoring activities over the years,
• methods that can be used to calculate the effect of measures taken to realize energy savings,
• and detailed information about a few projects:
• Policy study into cogeneration and heat pump technologies (coming soon)
• Clean and Efficient, the Dutch energy and climate programme.
• ChangeBest, a project focusing on the market for energy services and the delivery of energy efficiency improvement measures to final consumers.
• ODYSSEE, a database with Energy Efficiency Indicators on European Countries.
