Why is that? One answer is that project proposals usually focus only on energy cost savings. These proposals ignore or do not communicate how a project contributes value to the core business.

However, by quantifying and communicating the multiple benefits of energy efficiency–such as contributions to improved product quality, enhanced employee productivity, better indoor air quality and improved asset value–energy efficiency projects can demonstrate competitive business impacts in the form of improved value proposition and reduced cost and risk.

The EU-funded Multiple Benefits of Energy Efficiency project has developed a process and tools to position energy efficiency as a competitive value proposition for businesses. Complementing this project, the German project Multiple benefits as drivers for building renovation aims to improve communication on multiple benefits in building renovation and identify barriers and opportunities for quantifying and including them in investment decisions.

The partners of both projects invite you to a joint symposium on the multiple benefits of energy efficiency on October 28, from 10:00 to 17:00 in Berlin, ending with a cocktail.

The symposium will highlight and discuss lessons, methods and tools from both projects. Participants will learn about the different approaches to quantify the multiple benefits of energy efficiency, how they can be integrated in decision-making and how to communicate them with relevant stakeholders. It is an opportunity to improve synergies and exchange ideas with different stakeholders across sectors, markets and countries.

Participation is free of charge. The detailed agenda can be found below. Register your interest here.
