Analysis of energy end-use efficiency policy in Spain

Energy efficiency in the industrial sector in the EU, Slovenia, and Spain

“…For instance, while using the new methodology built on an econometric model Bertoldi and Mosconi [ 26 ] evaluated energy efficiency policies in the EU Member States in the period 1990–2013 and discovered the energy savings induced by these policies counted to a remarkable 12%. Some papers have focused on energy efficiency improvements by national measures in one selected Member State, such as Lithuania [ 27 ], Slovenia [ 28 ], and Spain [ 29 ]. There have also been more specialised studies conducted on the EU energy efficiency policies, especially the EED and its separate aspects; for instance, the EU energy efficiency obligation schemes [ 30 ], in particular, White Certificate [ 31 , 32 ]; the EED requirements on mandatory energy audits [ 33 ], industrial waste heat recovery [ 34 ].…”

Energetic, economic and environmental viability of off-grid PV-BESS for charging electric vehicles: Case study of Spain

“…The largest contribution of atmospheric pollutant emissions in urban areas today is from on-road transport (Instituto para la Diversificación y Ahorro de la Energía (IDAE), 2015). In Spain, the transport sector was responsible for 41,6% of the total final energy consumed in 2015 (Instituto para la Diversificación y Ahorro de la Energía (IDAE), 2015), and it was a prime target for the implementation of energy efficiency policies (Román Collado & Sanz Díaz, 2017). In the urban areas, several air quality problems are faced, related mainly to the emission of NO 2 and particulate matter (Román Collado & Sanz Díaz, 2017).…”

In recent years, there have been significant efforts to study the effects of strategies designed to reduce on-road traffic emissions and the subsequent impacts of these emissions on air quality (Román Collado & Sanz Díaz, 2017). Currently, the main objectives of these strategies are to reduce the emission per vehicle and to adopt mobility management strategies that allows the vehicle kilometres travelled to be reduced.…”

Data Analysis of Heating Systems for Buildings—A Tool for Energy Planning, Policies and Systems Simulation

“…Multiple drivers are influencing the energy demand of buildings, and the trends show that the total energy demand remained the same in the last few decades on a world basis, but, with a significant increase in the quality of services [1]. On the other hand, in several countries, multiple policies are moving towards the promotion of energy efficiency measures in buildings [2], thanks to the refurbishment of existing buildings [3], high requirements for new constructions [4] and operational optimization of buildings' management [5]. In this framework, the evolution of ICT allows to significantly increase the amount of data that is collected for monitoring energy systems and for assessing other building-related performance indicators.…”
