Increase energy efficiency targets
in buildings by improving the capacity of policy instruments to stimulate
increased engagement between public authorities, citizens, research and
business.
Description
The common challenge addressed by the CLEAN project is how
best to meet EU energy efficiency targets for buildings in Europe’s regions.
Buildings are responsible for 40% of energy consumption in the EU and
the older ones consume between 8 and 12 times as much heating oil as new
ones. Nine regions have joined together to address this challenge.
The objective is
for the regions to work together between 2017–2022 to improve the capacity of their
policy instruments to increase energy efficiency in housing and
public infrastructure by 4%.
The expected changes will be better performance in 9 Investment for Growth
& Jobs policy measures that address energy efficiency. This will result
from greater focus in policy instruments on stimulating
effective engagement between public authorities and citizens who
own properties, and research centres and companies who can introduce
new innovative energy efficiency solutions.
The main outputs will be Action Plans, revised governance
arrangements for policy instruments, new types of projects supported as a
result of interregional learning, and transfer of innovative policy and
solutions.
Aim Increase energy efficiency results
in housing and public infrastructure as a result of improved measures in ERDF
low-carbon policy instruments that will stimulate improved engagement between
energy stakeholders in European regions.

Approach
The approach of CLEAN involves interregional
cooperation between nine regions, to facilitate the
identification, analysis, dissemination and transfer of good practices,
policy experiences and measures from other regions, with a view to improving
the effectiveness of their own regional and local policies.
