The BewareE project aims at stimulating a change in residents‟ attitudes as well as at enhancing the implementation of “energy services” in cooperation with housing organizations and companies, drawing on “good practice examples” from EU and national projects. Thus, the main purpose of this project is to provide residents –owners as well as tenants- in Europe with access to energy services with information on options for taking full advantage of the technical potential of modern buildings. The work package has consisted of developing an inventory of more than 100 examples of energy services from all over Europe, through an analysis of EU projects, national and local projects of housing organizations and other stakeholders. Around 35 services have been selected as Best Practices after rating all services. These good examples will be analysed with regard to their transferability and adaptation to the national frameworks of Germany, France, The Netherlands and Spain in order to disseminate the appropriate best practices for each country in cooperation with housing associations and similar stakeholders. A report about energy, housing and energy services has been developed for each European country. Thus, each document consists of: A short description about energy situation in every UE country: sector energy consumption, renewable energy situation, etc. Information about energy consumption of households and its evolution. Housing market trends and social housing in each country A description about energy services situation in the analysed country. Finally, every country report includes a description of the selected energy services, some of which are classified as best practices (BP). The information for each report has been gathered from different sources that are mentioned as “references”. The methodology for identifying examples of Best Practices includes the following work steps: Screening European projects on energy services for household / housing organizations (web- and literature analysis) Contacting European and national project partners from previous European or national projects to gather information on possible Best Practices and projects (with a type of pinball research “Do you know an energy service or do you know someone, who …”). Expert interviews with European housing associations (such as UEPC or CECODHAS) to develop interview partners in the European countries as well as identify Best Practices. Expert interviews with project leaders of EU projects on related topics. Telephone interviews with national housing or energy associations in the selected European countries to gain informa- tion on possible Best Practices and providers. Telephone interviews with four to five possible providers of energy services. 1 According the rules of the EACI is the first work package the management of the BewareE project. BewareE BewareE Country Reports Europe 20080923 part 228.doc Page 4 of 185 As a result of this first stage 138 services were identified. Then, an assessment was made in order to distinguish services with a high service component from services which are intrinsically linked to other actions like building measures, producing energy or scientific research. The first type of services were classified as Service Inventory (including the Best Practices), the last ones have been named “Further Services”, FS. This distribution leads to 92 really energy services and 46 services with less service component (FS). Secondly, the SI identified services have been described in a simple SWOT-form regarding residents acceptance potential market size energy reduction potential [%] initial costs [€ per service unit or per household/year] initial cost for the service (€/service unit) and development stage The average of the SWOT-rating of the service inventory is 7.8. The minimum value for Best Practices has been set above 8.0. This quantitative valuation showed 29 Best Practice services. Thirdly, every services in the Service Inventory have been checked to identify qualitative aspects to upgrade it to Best Practice. The main considered qualitative criteria are “being unique”, “energy reduction potential with low investments” and “applicable for countries with less energy services”. Seven more services were identified as Best Practice as a result of this second revision. Finally, 36 services have been identified as “Best Practices”. In the end, the services have been clustered into catogiers. We have used the following categories: Table 1: Categories of services.

Following steps are the transferability analysis to adapt Best Practices to the national frameworks of Germany, France, The Netherlands and Spain and Best Practice dissemination in cooperation with housing associations and similar stakeholders.
