Tasks

Monitoring, Verification and Enforcement

4E see MV&E as a vital component of regulatory energy efficiency policies to ensure that expected energy efficiency gains are realised in practice.

In the wake of the defeat software in the automotive sector (Volkswagen case), 4E TCP members find there is a need for ongoing vigilance to maximise savings from programs. The 4E TCP has therefore established a unique mechanism for national regulators to raise issues of concern and share approaches to market surveillance and enforcement, meeting face-to-face alongside each ExCo.

In London in 2010, 4E held one of the first international conferences focusing on energy efficiency compliance, to bring together public and private sector stakeholders to share experiences in the design and operation of their compliance activities.

All the following materials and presentations can be downloaded.
