Establishing a EUSALPS network of key stakeholders for “energy efficiency in SMEs”. The network will create and cultivate the cross-sectorial, transnational platform for Energy Efficiency in enterprises, through which the exchange of best-practices and experiences will take place.

Setting-up benchmarking model for energy efficiency of SMEs. The model will define the KPIs and the benchmarks for the main economic sectors of activity. Target groups are primarily SMEs and energy auditors, but also trade associations and independent experts.

Creation of auditing tool for assessing energy efficiency of SMEs and defining measures for improvement. This tool will provide all EUSALP Regions with a common, ready-touse and proven recipe to assist SMEs in moving step by step towards the successful implementation of energy efficiency audits. The principal output of this action will be an Excelbased tool supporting a step-by-step implementation of energy audits in SMEs.

Training of energy tutors and awareness-raising among SMEs and intermediate bodies. The capacity-building sessions will be designed for to-be “energy tutors” and will be focused on the use of the newly developed auditing tool.
