COURSE 1: Data collection

The course Data Collection is dedicated to understanding the importance of systematic, timely, and periodic gathering of energy data. Data collection and management are crucial for identifying trends, defining and monitoring strategies, and prioritizing energy efficiency improvements.

As the collection of reliable and complete energy data often shows to be a difficult task, this course will help participants to learn how to establish an effective energy management system for the public sector, as well as how to identify sources and facilitate access to territorial aggregated, and non-identifying energy data.

Topics covered by the course:

Baseline Emission Inventory

• Basic principles: territorial principle and the polluter pays principle
• Approaches and recommendations for the elaboration of BEI
• Practical exercise

Energy management

• Assessing the need for an energy management system
• How to elaborate building inventory

Energy supply and production

• Data mining and making quality energy estimations
• Improving data sharing: mapping key stakeholders and establishing collaboration models
• Analysing and evaluating gathered data

Transport

• Methods to estimate emissions in urban and other road transportation
