Draft guidelines of European technical quality criteria

D3.1 Draft guideline of European technical quality criteria (M12) will provide European minimum quality levels for energy efficiency services (energy performance contracting will be a focus, along with supply c., operational c. and integrated energy c.). Technical, economic, communicational, and other criteria will be defined and operationalised, which will allow a comprehensive set of technical quality criteria to be applicable in quality assurance and certification schemes. Assessment criteria will be introduced as well as evidence and verification processes. The criteria will be structured according to (1) the energy efficiency services, (2) the project phases (from identification to M&V) and (3) target group. Results of WP2 are used as well as the set of “preliminary quality criteria for energy efficiency services” developed for the Austrian market within the Transparense project. Feedback will be obtained at the first European discussion workshop (Sub-task 3.6a) in M12. The draft guidelines will be a
