Implementation of the Energy Efficiency Directive Energy (2012/27/EU) – ENERGY EFFICIENCY
The Directive on energy efficiency, which entered into force on 4 December 2012 , is currently undergoing a revision process.
In the framework of that process the European Implementation Assessment was launched to accompany the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) in its scrutiny of the implementation of the directive.
Three independent groups of experts provided advice on this matter: CPMC SPRL, the University of Oxford and the University of Sussex, and Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei.

The first research paper presents opinions of national stakeholders' at Member States' level, gathered during interviews and surveys.
The second research paper presents the Member States' plans and achievements towards the implementation of obligation schemes under Article 7 of the Directive (Energy Efficiency Obligation Schemes, EEOS).
The third research paper – the FEEM’s contribution to the project – presents the implementation of the Article 7 of the 2012 Energy Efficiency Directive with regard to residential consumers and buildings. The research looks at key facts highlighted in the energy economic and behavioural sciences literature on energy use by residential consumers and at results of the assessments of the implementation of the Directive, analysing the policy measures implemented in the Member States and providing some examples of best practices. The study deepens the level of detail of the analysis for two Member States (the United Kingdom and Italy) looking at the policy framework in which Article 7 is being implemented and evaluating the policies measures planned for its implementation.
