The Italian National Contact Point has published a report with reference to a selection of initiatives financed by the ENI CBC MED Programme 2014-2020 with the participation of one or more organisations based in Italy.

The study develops not so much on the analysis of quantitative/financial data, but on the aspects of impact on the territories involved by the broad Neighbourhood Programme in the Mediterranean basin, with the aim of collecting and valorising results, outputs, activities, synergies and networks. 

The intention of the publication is also to guarantee - through the reconnaissance of information - sources and insights for the current and future implementation of both ENI CBC MED and Interreg Next MED 2021-27, and European Territorial Cooperation Programmes in general.

The BEEP project, led by the ISPC-CNR (Istituto di Scienze del Patrimonio Culturale - Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche) in Italy, is featured on page 36 of this report. Download the report.

About the BEEP project:

BEEP project aims at strengthening the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) to enhance energy efficiency in buildings. The testing of this emerging technology on built heritage will be performed to demonstrate its scalability to the entire building stock. The project will provide public administrations with a powerful method for the energy rehabilitation of public buildings to be supported with private funds through the Energy Performance Contracting (*). The project main outcome will be an innovative methodology based on the integration of emerging technologies tested on 9 heritage public buildings located in Italy, Spain, Cyprus, Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, and Egypt.

(*) Energy performance contracting (EPC) is a mechanism for organising the energy efficiency financing. The EPC involves an Energy Service Company (ESCO) which provides various services, such as finances and guaranteed energy savings. The remuneration of the ESCO depends on the achievement of the guaranteed savings. The ESCO stays involved in the measurement and verification process for the energy savings in the repayment period. ESCO and energy performance contracting are mostly found in the public sector and to a lesser extent in the industrial and commercial building sectors (Hilke and Ryan, 2012).
