Data collection (acquisition and treatment)
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
Energy management
Energy supply and production
Transport

Data monitoring and validation
The Local Authorities are facing significant barriers when it comes to implementing actions included in the SECAPs: limited competences, limited financial resources, difficulties to access European funds, limited capacity (technical knowledge).
The peer-to-peer learning program on “Monitoring, revision, and verification of data” will give emphasis to enhance the capacity of local authorities to implement sustainable projects through:

Indicators for adaptation to climate change
The module dedicated to adaptation aims to clarify the concept, provide keys to understanding this discipline and shed light on the methodologies, systems and tools to support public actors. The aim of the exercise is to guide participants in building their own roadmap to ensure that adaptation to climate change is fully integrated into energy-climate action plans. To this end, the adaptation module will be organised in three sessions:
Each of the 3-hour sessions will, in turn, be divided into two highlights to optimise the pace of the training. In addition to the contribution of knowledge, particular attention will be paid to interacting with the participants, taking advantage of feedback from actors involved in this field and ensuring a group dynamic. The territorial examples and tools mentioned in this document are illustrative and do not reflect the completeness of the initiatives.

Data display, dissemination, and validation by local authorities
This course on data display, dissemination and validation by local authorities will educate and provide a sound knowledge base and understanding of the principles and best practices of data communication and presentation. Throughout the course, the participant will learn how to best identify their target audience and the key considerations to make in order to communicate a message, through the use of data, most effectively. Alongside this, the key modes of data communication will be identified with a detailed breakdown of how these modes can be replicated for any respective geographic area and audience.
Topics:
What determines effective communication of data?
Identifying the information needs of the end-users
Data manipulation and presentation in an effective manner
Implementing data display tools
An insight into TerriSTORY®, an online tool to accompany territories in following and achieving their energy and climate objectives
Different modes of data dissemination
