Standardization framework on energy efficiency measuring and monitoring

Energy Efficiency is one of the cornerstones of European and International energy policy. Technical standardization can contribute to promote energy efficient technologies and solutions and ultimately to reach the targets of energy efficiency improvement and CO
₂
reduction. This paper provides an overview of the main existing technical standards in the domain of energy efficiency measurement and monitoring. This paper maps these standards against a taxonomy to identify useful references to support the process of designing, implementing, operating and maintaining an "energy efficiency measurement and monitoring system" and eventually to identify gaps that may be covered by future standardization activity. ISO, IEC, CEN and CLC standards published before 28 February 2016 will be analyzed. This paper aims at contributing to the work of CEN-CENELEC JWG9 "Energy measurement plan for organizations" by providing background information for the development of its standards and eventually a tool for identifying gaps for future work.
