Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Synergies in Energy Efficiency Projects

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Baltic Sea

Date of latest update: 2023-06-16

Description

Description (EN):

CAMS Platform aims to capitalize results of ongoing EU INTERREG and other EU energy efficiency projects. The platform will explore how energy efficiency measures could be improved and used to increase the resilience of housing sector to negative effects of long-term climate change; how energy audits could be upgraded to serve relevant measures, developing accessible database for energy performance audits of buildings, especially the unified energy performance criteria for multi-storey buildings. Platform tackles the issue of how to use available financial sources better for achieving climate goals by developing policy recommendations for planning ESIF in coming EU MFF 2021-2027 and guidelines for further energy efficiency (EE) projects, so to create synergy between EE and climate change mitigation and adaptation. Project activities are divided into 4 Work Packages (WPs). WP1 is for Project management, Communication, dissemination and reporting, led by Project partner (PP) 1: Tartu Regional Energy Agency - TREA. Activities within WP1 include management and communication, running project website for outreach and arranging 2 meetings in Tartu, Estonia: kick-off meeting for detailed planning of project activities and final conference for presenting and disseminating the results. PP's contribute to WP1 tasks related to the activities they are involved and responsible for. WP2 is for capitalisation of ongoing energy efficiency projects in BSR, enhancing building energy performance auditing. LP for this WP is County Government of Dalarna (PP2). Activities include development of energy audit database. For unification and harmonisation of the energy audits across the BSR, a series of pilot energy audits in Estonia, Latvia, Poland and Sweden will be carried out by respective PP's experts (licenced auditors). WP3 led by BEF Germany (PP8) focuses on capitalisation of the results of the ARCEE project and foresees preparation of the Qualification programme on housing refurbishment for BSR which is adjusted to all participating BSR countries. WP4 led by CBSS (PP4) facilitates the climate adaptation and mitigation policy dialogue, resulting in policy recommendations and guidance for climate-proofing ESIF projects. The Russian contexts and dissemination for seeking mitigation-adaptation synergies is provided by Peter the Great St.Petersburg Polytechnic University (PP10).

Achievements (EN):

Towards harmonised climate and energy policies: The CAMS platform helped national ministries, regional and local public authorities plan and implement climate and energy policies in a more efficient way. It synthesised the findings of ten Interreg, Horizon2020 and EuropeAid projects. Firstly, the platform provided municipalities, energy agencies and energy auditors with higher-quality, quicker, more holistic, and comprehensive energy auditing methodology that is harmonised across the Baltic Sea region. More than 400 energy professionals joined the national energy auditing days in Estonia, Latvia, Sweden, Poland and Russia to learn about energy efficiency, auditing and certification of the building energy performance. To test the auditing methodology, the partners elaborated 33 energy audits in five countries, 12 regions and 19 municipalities, distributed among four building types or NACE divisions (real estate, education, culture, social care). Out of these, 31 objects consumed 9 GWh/year, and their energy saving potential with chosen measures was 2,8 GWh, which corresponded to 30% of the total energy end-use for those audits. The greatest contributor to energy saving was the space heating measure and ventilation. The platform made these energy audits available to energy auditors around the Baltic Sea region. For example, the measures section provided the cross-region and cross-sectoral comparison and the range of cost efficiency. New tools for energy efficient refurbishment: Secondly, the partners worked on strengthening the qualification programme for energy efficient refurbishment of multi-apartment buildings and integrating energy efficiency and climate change adaptation. The programme was introduced to higher education institutions in Estonia, Latvia, Sweden, Poland, Germany and Finland. The partners also used it for training local authorities on housing and urban regeneration. Setting grounds for policies on energy efficiency and climate neutrality: Finally, the platform helped advance policy processes related to energy efficiency and climate neutrality. The partners developed policy recommendations on how to mainstream climate into new European Structural and Investment Funds programmes 2021- 2027. The national EU funding programmes became more focused on accelerating the transition towards climate neutrality, for example, by improving energy efficiency via the reconstruction of buildings and district heating systems. These policy recommendations also contributed to the revision of the EU Climate Adaptation Strategy, adopted in 2021. The platform has helped include more active mainstreaming of climate resilience considerations in all relevant policy fields applicable to both the public and the private sectors. The EUSBSR policy area Energy was actively engaged in the platform work, foremost on advancing the policy towards the unified data handling of energy performance audits and merging climate adaptation into energy efficiency projects. https://interreg-baltic.eu/project/cams-platform/
