Multi-level support for local authorities to improve energy efficiency

Local authorities and policy makers, as local consumers and producers (‘prosumers’) of energy, are in the position to lead the local sustainable energy transition. Energy efficiency (EE) is a cornerstone of sustainable energy policies as EPBD and relevant national regulation on nZEB requirements demonstrate.

This session will aim at mapping of local authorities’ possibilities to deal with EE; means and needs of local authorities in energy efficiency, with special regard to nZEBbuildings and renovation policies. Placed in a CEE regional context, our conference would share important supporting possibilities for public nZEB refurbishments.

Speakers will start with a short presentation of ca. 12-15 minutes, focusing on their role and leadership actions in energy efficiency (suggested focus on buildings’ energy efficiency) and on the support which they can share with others in favour of EE/nZEB investments. This will be followed by a moderated panel discussion with experts on the outcomes of the Buildings for the Visegrad Future Workshop at C4E Forum[1], Serock 2018.

After the panel discussion, a Q&A session will follow with the audience.
