Institute for European Energy and Climate Policy

What Institute for European Energy and Climate Policy does

The Institute for European Energy and Climate Policy (IEECP) is a non-profit, independent research organization (Stichting) founded in 2015 and headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. IEECP operates as a knowledge hub providing science-based evidence, policy analysis, and practical tools to support the European energy transition and climate mitigation. Its core activities include leading and participating in EU-funded Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe research consortia covering energy efficiency, climate planning, building renovation, energy poverty, and behavioral change.

The organization develops and maintains a portfolio of proprietary tools and platforms, including MICATool (Multiple Impacts Calculation Tool for energy efficiency), eensight (a machine learning-based automated measurement and verification tool for energy savings in building portfolios), the FLEX Modeling Suite (open-source household energy modeling), the newTRENDs Modeling Suite (FORECAST, INVERT/EE-Lab, PRIMES, GEM-E3-FIT), the HORIS Digital One-Stop Shop Platform (citizen-facing home renovation support in Italy, Spain, Portugal), RENOVERTY Rural Energy Efficiency Roadmaps, and a Pay-for-Performance e-learning platform. These tools are distributed free of charge and feed into policy recommendations for EU institutions, member state governments, regional/local authorities, and citizens.

IEECP's revenue model is exclusively government funding through EU research grants (Horizon 2020, Horizon Europe) — it does not sell commercial products or services. The organization markets its outputs through its website (ieecp.org), a monthly newsletter, the 'Energy in Your Ears' podcast, social media channels, conference participation (EUSEW, eceee), and open-access repositories. End-users include EU institutions, national and regional governments, municipalities, homeowners, schools, and energy researchers across more than a dozen European countries.
