European Energy Efficiency Conference
Energy efficiency is a major trend: the sharp price increases for fossil energy sources with wide economic and social implications, the longer-term issues of security of supply as well as the climate protection commitments draw the attention of many decision makers to energy efficiency right now.
With the "European Green Paper on Energy Efficiency" on European level but also in many member states, regions and municipalities strategies and programmes are currently under preparation to help companies, private households and public bodies to decrease their energy costs. The emerging new markets for energy services offer enormous opportunities for employment, innovation and economic growth in Europe.
The conference will address economic, technical, political, legal and institutional questions relating to energy efficiency, with a special focus on how public bodies, private households and businesses can reduce their energy costs and profit economically and at the same time protect the environment and the climate.
