Strengthening national frameworks for renewable and efficient heating and cooling in existing buildings

Expected Impact:

Proposals should present the concrete results which will be delivered by the activities and demonstrate how these results will contribute to the topic-specific impacts. This demonstration should rely on a solid analysis of the current situation, realistic assumptions and baselines, and establish clear causality links between activities, results and impacts.

In terms of qualitative impact, proposals under this topic should demonstrate how they will contribute to strengthen the national frameworks for business and financing models reducing or shifting high investment costs for the installation of heat pumps and solar thermal systems in existing buildings.

In terms of quantitative impact, proposals should quantify their results and impacts using the indicators provided for the topic, when they are relevant for the proposed activities. Proposals are not expected to address all the listed impacts and indicators. The results and impacts should be quantified for the end of the project and for 5 years after the end of the project. The quantitative indicators for this topic include:

• Number of relevant stakeholders participating in the national collaborative platforms
• Number of public authorities using resources and information produced and provided by the activity
• Number of public authorities and other relevant stakeholders endorsing the identified measures
• Number of relevant stakeholders, along the value chains, including consumers, with improved skills/knowledge during the action

Proposals should also provide indicators which are specific to their proposed activities.

Proposals should also quantify their impacts related to the following common indicators for the LIFE Clean Energy Transition subprogramme:

• Primary energy savings triggered by the project in GWh/year
