Guiding Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and national authorities through the energy transition by taking profit of multiple benefits and energy management approaches
Conducting energy audits and implementing energy management systems can be a source of multiple benefits for companies if they tap into their wide potential: reduced operating costs, increased productivity, improved working environment, and much more. DEESME is a 3-year Horizon 2020-funded project (2020-2023), built on a strong consortium of academics, research organisations, consultancies and government offices from Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland that aims to exactly enable companies, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), to engage in the energy transition by taking profit of multiple benefits from energy management and energy audit approaches, as well as provide national authorities with guidelines and recommendations to strengthen their national schemes/policies. Finally, the project will enhance the adoption of the DEESME approach by National Authorities (NA) beyond the project timeline through the implementation of institutionalisation activities.
