        …of the final energy consumption established by Directive 2012/27/EU. For this purpose, the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism, through the Institute for Energy Diversification and Savings (IDAE), started up a specific programme of aid and financing initially provided with a maximum budget of € 13 million. The typologies of eligible actions were the following: Improvement in energy efficiency through the regenerative braking of trains; Energy saving strategies in the operation of railway traffic; Improvement in energy efficiency in existing railway buildings; Improvement in energy efficiency in outdoor lighting and signalling; and Improvement in energy efficiency in railway…

        Roadmap for Building Energy Codes and Standards for Mexico

        …2050.The aspirational goals for the roadmap are: 2020. Mexico develops an advanced stretch code that offers additional energy savings to jurisdictions or builders that choose to adopt the standards. 2030. All states and capital cities adopt and effectively enforce a building energy code. 2050. Net zero emission buildings (NZEB) are commonly built across Mexico.The roadmap sets both realistic and aspirational goals to mainstream the construction of net-zero emission buildings by 2050 and empower the building sector to contribute to the low carbon energy transition in Mexico. The roadmap proposes additional targets and actions for the following four…

        Promotion of Home Energy Management System (HEMS), Building Energy Management System (BEMS)

        The Japanese government promotes energy efficiency of building and housing field. Specifically for BEMS and HEMS, METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) provides subsidies for introducing energy management systems in homes and buildings which help manage the energy consumption of appliances such as lighting, air-conditioning, and hot-water supply by using information technology systems. These systems enable automatic management of several appliances simultaneously, leading to energy savings and reduced environmental impact. Currently the BEM and HEMS subsidy program is implemented by Sustainable Open Innovation Initiative (SII) under the budget of METI.The FY 26 budget of METI’s…

The first 61 energy-saving assessments of industrial facilities have identified, in aggregate, nearly $200 million per year in potential energy cost savings and could reduce natural gas consumption by over 22 trillion Btu per year, equivalent to the natural gas consumed by more than 300,000 homes annually. Approximately 3,500 plants were contacted based on publicly available data that DOE used to identify the most energy-intensive plants in the United…

        ERP Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Programme B

        The programme provides financing for energy efficiency measures, for example in areas such as building and energy technology, cladding, machinery pools, process cooling and heating, heat recovery systems, measurement and control technology, and information and communications technology, including the accompanying cost of planning and implementation support for SMEs. The expected energy savings must be determined before the application is made; there are minimum requirements in respect of the size of the savings (for new investments: 15 % less than the sector average; for replacement investments: 30 % of the average consumption for the last three years).

This updated the previous EEAP of 2007 and fulfilled the UK's obligation under the Energy End-Use Efficiency and Energy Services Directive (ESD) to report on progress towards an overall national indicative energy savings target of 9% by 2016. It was superseded by the 2014 Energy Efficiency Action Plan under the EU Energy Efficiency Directive.
