Monitoring and Verification Schemes

Sweden has already developed and implemented an M&V scheme for the monitoring of the implemented energy efficiency measures at national, regional and local levels. A combination of top-down and bottom-up methods has been used for the effective measurement of the achieved energy savings.

Best practice cases have been identified under the following topics:

  • Administrative authorities and their responsibilities
  • Measurement and monitoring procedures
  • Verification procedures
