Events

Three cities – Calvià, Vitoria-Gasteiz, and Tartu – were selected by the MICAT project team as MICATool Pilot Cities to co-develop and validate the tool to be developed by the project. The MICATool is intended to help the cities by supporting decision-makers to gain better insights into energy policy impacts, making monitoring and reporting on energy efficiency measures and policy impacts more comprehensive and accessible to a wider audience, demonstrating and communicating the multiple benefits of energy efficiency, and last but not least assessing the economic benefits of energy efficiency measures.

The first city workshop with the piloting city Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain) took place to discuss the possibilities of embedding the MICATool into local policy, alongside MICAT partners and tool developers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI, Wuppertal Institute as well as IIASA.

MICAT was presented as a part of the Innovative Solutions to finance energy efficiency and renewables track together with the Multiple Benefits of Energy Efficiency project.

The WHY project, MICAT’s related project, hosted an event at EU Green Week on improving energy demand modelling to forecast the domestic sector’s energy consumption.
