Objective: EINSTEIN software tool for thermal energy efficiency and implementation of renewable energy for industry energy auditing campaign in industry training courses for consultants and energy manager Benefits: EINSTEIN tool-kit optimizing the thermal energy demand trained energy auditors and energy manager 90 audited industrial companies EINSTEIN – objective

Achieved results 15 EINSTEIN training courses were organised in 8 countries, with 246 participants in total. The training courses in Austria, Italy and Belgium were even overbooked, which shows the large interest. 90 companies in 6 countries were participating in the EINSTEIN audit campaign; a total thermal energy saving potential of 27 % was found. The final and updated version of the EINSTEIN tool-kit can be downloaded from the project website since July EINSTEIN – results
