ACE research: call for European energy and housing data

 Funded through the EU’s Horizon2020 programme, this project is being delivered by nine consumer-focused partners, including Citizens Advice in the UK.The ACE Research team are developing an Energy Saving Evaluation Model (ESEM) which will process data and model the primary energy savings, investment in sustainable energy and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions triggered by the project.  We are currently analysing a range of data sources and literature to help build ‘profiles’ across the nine participating STEP countries. We need to understand the makeup of each country’s energy generation and power mix (including the prevalence of heat networks for example), the energy performance of housing and the consumption profiles of households in each country.  The nine participating STEP countries are:  Lithuania   Bulgaria   UK (activity will be based around Reading, Coventry and Manchester)  Cyprus   Portugal   Czech Republic   Poland   Latvia   Slovakia  If you are able to assist the ACE Research team with commentary for the country profiles, data sources or industry and governmental contacts across the participating countries, please contact us on aceresearch@theade.co.uk.
