Chapter 5a Household consumption: identify services and uses into the houses Is it sufficiently clear what kind of methodologies to put in 5a,5b,5c,5d,6? Contents you miss in draft outline 5a? Contents you would like included?

Chapter 10a Top-down International best practises Do we merge the best practises into the methodology chapters? How many best practises do we want? How many can we get? What level of detail? If 3 best practises for each methodology, and 3 pages = 27 pages.

IEA used this template for their good practise in the EE manual. - What do we like from this? - What would we do different?

Chapter 2 Household consumption: identify services and uses into the houses Alternative title? Introduction to HH e.cons? Contents you miss in draft outline 2? Contents you would like included?

JongCBS Visit Austria 5 Chapter 2 : proposed outline  Why knowing about energy consumption of households matters Policy: EPBD, energy efficiency, climate and energy targets, A figure displaying the share of households in total EU energy consumption.  How do we define a household? Residential sector, dwelling, household types, small businesses/farms Common definitions or at least a list of categories to consider for inclusion or exclusion  What sources of energy are used?  Electricity.  Gas.  Renewables.  Coal, oil, etc...  Units and conversion factors: kWh, m3, GJ… A Figure/pie chart: % of household energy by energy source (NL as example, EU if available)  How is energy used in households?  Common breakdowns of uses Heating, cooling, cooking, lighting, hot water, … Diagram/illustration of house with energy flows Figure/pie chart: % of household energy by use (NL as example, EU if available)  What factors influence how much energy is used in a household?

JongCBS Visit Austria 6 Chapter 5a: proposed outline  What do we mean by suppliers? (or some clear definition of the chapter subject)  Types of information sourced from suppliers Total household energy consumption Examples: grid managers in Brussels, NL, Spain, Ireland Pitfalls and lessons learned Common issues and how to deal with them Equipment/appliance sales (NL) Solar panels Refrigerators (NL) Heat pumps From sales figures to appliance stocks and energy use List of models and assumptions actually used  General strengths and weaknesses of using supplier data Strengths: survey/admin burden reduced, Weaknesses: suppliers usually don’t know what is sold for household purposes. Non- standard definitions… Costs, man-hours, skills  How to get information from suppliers General considerations Developing new legal requirements (time required, steps needed, problems encountered) Voluntary cooperation Seeking win-win situations Examples  Recommendations for further development of appliances energy use
