11. Methodology  Joint decision on studies specifications and indicators adapted to partners needs  Joint decision on specific cases that are developed in each partner’s studies  Parallel implementation of studies  Preparation of a comparative/compilation final report 11

12. Tools for implementation  Procurement plan to contract the external expertise (defining clear and sound technical requirements and deliverables)  Data collection system and methodology  Selection and evaluation criteria  Monitoring, reporting and controlling system (quality reports) 12

13. 13 Target groups  Municipalities (Technical, financial and environmental departments)  Universities (relevant schools and laboratories)  Municipal staff (both administrative and technical personnel)  Decision makers (Mayor and Vice-mayors, local counsellors)

14. 14 Stakeholders  Collective bodies (e.g. chambers of commerce, associations of engineers, working unions, financial institutions)  Specific professional groups (e.g. builders, construction entrepreneurs, specialised journalists)  Energy related institutions and bodies (public and private electricity companies, ESCO ‟ s), construction companies, construction materials producers, financial institutions, environmental agencies  General audience (both as potential investors and as sensitive and active energy consumers)

15. From GAF to implementation Outputs  Seven (7) rounds of consultation with municipal services about the specifications of studies and preselection of buildings  Specifications for 4 types of studies  Six (6) studies on energy consumption, energy mix and relevant characteristics on a municipal level  One (1) consumption assessment tool (e-tool) for buildings  Five (5) Municipalities Carbon Footprint estimation studies  Five (5) Energy saving intervention practices at buildings with the application of Life Cycle Analysis principles

16. Municipal Energy Audit Goals:  establishes where and how buildings and facilities use energy and identifies opportunities for energy and cost savings  reveals annual energy use and costs, costs of suggested improvements, potential savings, and the length of time that will be needed to recoup improvement costs  provides data that a municipality will need to create a Carbon Footprint  develops policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions  recommendations that can range from improved energy data management to appropriate energy-saving technologies, to structural improvements and system retrofits, to behavior change strategies for energy conservation.

17. Tool (e-tool) for evaluating energy consumption in buildings Goals Benefits:  Improved understanding of effective energy data on long-term performance of buildings and building systems  Knowledge about the main factors influencing actual energy uses in buildings and specific interactions between them  Opportunities for the development of energy saving technologies taking into consideration both the building and the user related energy use, and the prediction of expected energy use in new and retrofitting buildings  Support for standardization and benchmarking of actual energy use in buildings

18. Municipality Carbon Footprint estimation study Goals  A Municipal Carbon Footprint measures the impact of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced by local government operations in a given year.  Creating a footprint is the first step to reducing municipal GHG emissions.  The footprint will detail the sources of emissions so that actions can be focused on the largest emitters.  The footprint will also enable a municipality to track its progress and determine if new policies are having an impact.  Reporting the footprint can be a powerful tool for galvanizing public interest and support for new actions.

19. Energy saving intervention practices at buildings with the application of Life Cycle Analysis principles Goals Life Cycle Assessment is the only method that assesses the environmental impacts of a certain product or activity (a system of products) over its entire life cycle. The main goal of the method is to lessen the environmental impacts of products and services by guiding the decision-making process. For companies, designers, and governments, life cycle assessment represents a decision-making aid tool for implementing sustainable development.

20. Expected results  Providing valid data and produce sound analysis on two fields of intervention (1) municipal buildings and (2) energy consumption on municipal level  Providing a portfolio of buildings appropriate for energy upgrading interventions that can be the starting point or/and critical mass for each municipality to announce a call for expression of interest for potential investors; exploiting PPP ‟ s schemes in such way  Upgrading of municipalities profiles on energy sector and making them more comparable to other cities profiles improving city branding and marketing efforts

21. BSBEEP - Expectations and Added Value  exchanging knowledge, information and best practices  reliable base studies for short and midterm planning on energy efficiency matters  to train practically target groups on energy efficiency matters and to sensibilise wider audience  BS region and local partnerships, strengthen project's sustainability and capitalisation of its results  support for developing further EU projects 21
