  PJ
• public sector does not lead by example
• Promotion of energy end-use efficiency and energy
  services
• not reflected in existing laws, options under

Four policy areas of EES (1/2)

• availability of information
• focuses on improving the awareness of energy
  consumers, eg. through supplying the information
  in energy bills, websites, includes specialised
  measures for local governments and SMEs
• availability of know-how and specialists
• to increase the number of people able to
  implement energy saving measures, eg. promotion
  of market for some services (energy audits),
  development of know-how, practice of energy
  services

11
Four policy areas of EES (2/2)

• energy efficiency improvements in energy
  production, distribution and consumption
• promotion of investments to energy efficiency
  through direct grants, obligations to energy
  suppliers and instruments rising the
  attractiveness of energy efficiency investments
• fulfilling the obligations of Member State to the
  EU
• transposition of EU directives in EE field and
  getting prepared for actions under Commissions
  Energy Efficiency Action Plan

12
Energy consumption in Municipalities

• To be sure that energy saving measure has been
  effective - we must have comparable data before
  and after implementing measures.
• For this purpose (data collection, analyze and
  use) we can use common template for consumption
  data.(KULU)

13
Examples about energy consumption monitoring in
municipal buildings.

• Different municipal buildings (more-less typical)
• Tartu County 14 different municipal educational
  buildings

Different municipal buildings (more-less typical)

• Culture house, Kindergarten, Schoolhouse, Sport
  hall, Firework brigade building, City hall
• Data from 7 years, corrected with weather data
  from Jõhvi area (4518 dd).
