  2. Context  to improve efficiency of energy use and integrate renewables on a large scale, it is absolutely necessary to support efficient and flexible heating and cooling systems on a local level throughout Europe • Heating as the largest single energy end-use in Europe! • The majority of energy use come from cities! • A very large share of energy is wasted!

  3. Ecoheat Label: three criteria assessing District Heating and Cooling systems • support the aims of the EU 20-20-20 targets • show DHC performance and contribution to EU targets

  4. The label: translatingparametersinto a visual Resource Efficiency Criteria is based on the Primary Energy Factor (PEF) .The lower the primary energy factor, the lower the primary energy input in relation to the volume of heat supplied and thus the more flower petals colored. CO2 Efficiency Based on the CO2 emission per delivered MWh of thermal energy. The lower the value, the more the system is climate-friendly and thus more flower petals. Renewable share This factor values the share of renewable and surplus heat in relation to the European/national renewable target.

  5. The label • shows performance of each criteria • visualizeshow DHC contributes to 20:20:20 targets • createsan incentive for improvement

  6. Archievements • 30+ DHC systems labelled across 7 countries • Online tools created for DHC companies to promote their energy performance and reveal the potential in providing efficient environmentally correct solutions compared to other options • Online tools for municipalities and urban planners to compare heating and cooling options • Positive assessement from municipalities with labelled systems on expediency and visibility of label
