Efficiency Optimized: Unlocking the Full Potential of Multiple Impacts

by the MICAT Project

Welcome to Efficiency Optimized: Unlocking the Full Potential of Multiple Impacts, the podcast that seeks to create a narrative surrounding the Multiple Impacts of energy efficiency, and connect the dots between the theoretical applicability and the real life applications of Multiple Impacts through tri-weekly discussions and debates with European energy experts. This podcast is hosted by the H2020-funded MICAT project, which a ...   ...  Read more

  • Multiple Benefits of Energy Efficiency: Policy Recommendations Using Multiple Impacts of Energy Efficiency

    Multiple Benefits of Energy Efficiency: Policy Recommendations Using Multiple Impacts of Energy Efficiency

    In today's episode of Efficiency Optimized, host Anousheh Parsaei from IEECP discusses policy recommendations using multiple impacts of energy efficiency with guests and energy policy experts Giulia Pizzini from IEECP and Niklas Mischkowski from ICLEI Europe. This episode explores the status quo of multiple impacts which are currently being used within policy making outside of the MICAT project, any existing guidelines on how multiple impacts can be quantified and leveraged at the local, regional, national or EU levels, AND MORE! This brings season one of Efficiency Optimized to a close, but stay tuned for our upcoming season, likely beginning next year, when we discuss how multiple benefits for energy efficiency affects you!
