Life Cycle based Energy Audit
Energy is an essential ingredient in nearly all goods and services, but its use exacts heavy financial, environmental, and security costs. A key method of reducing energy costs while retaining its benefits is to use it more efficiently. Industry is a very large consumer of energy and has unexploited potential for energy savings. To lower the intensity of industrial energy dependency one has to address SMEs. Here, transnational cooperation is vital for connecting partners looking for joint solutions and open new opportunities for companies and improving existing policies.   

 

The goal of the LiCEA project, which connects six partners from five central European countries, is to develop and apply smart tools that allow the discovery of numerous unexploited energy saving opportunities in regional industrial clusters along the supply chain of SMEs.
