1.Objectives:

• To determine and to update the situation of the energy statistics of the household sector in each country of the EU

• To identify the best practices used to elaborate detailed energy statistics of the household sector in EU countries and in other countries or organisms.

2.Actions:

• Compilation of existing information in Eurostat and in Eurostat Energy Statistics.• Contact with all NSis of EU countries to update their situation and identify best

practices and with international countries and organisms to collect them.• Design of 2 questionnaires: for EU countries and, also, other countries/organisms.• Design the contents of the country profile.

3.Method:

• IDAE will design drafts and will send them to the partners to agree on the final version of: Both questionnaires. Contents of the country profiles.

• Each partner will be responsible to send and to manage the answer of the assigned countries/organizations.

• Finalized the information compilation, each country will send to the coordinator: The questionnaires. A report with the “country profile” of each assigned country. 7

1.Questions to discuss: Is it necessary all this geographical

coverage? Is it possible to simplify?

1. Objectives:

• To document an inventory of best practices detected in the Global Inventory.

2. Actions:

• IDAE will send to the partners a proposal of best practices to include in the compendium in function of the information received in the Global inventory and the requirements of Task Force 2008.

• At the next working meeting of May 2012 all partners will agree on the first version of the final compendium inventory.

3. Considerations for the compendium

• Best practices included in the compendium should cover most of the elements detected in the Task Force 2008.

• Special attention to: Best practices that help to inform on energy poverty. Surveys. Modeling activities. Techniques of information integration.

3.2- WP 2: Compendium inventory

1.Objectives:

• To fit and to typify each group of best practices (surveys, modelling, integration of information, administrative documentation) in a common norm applicable to the situations of the EU.

• To determine groups of countries with similar state-of-the-art detailed energy statistics on the residential sector.

• To determine the solutions to apply based on the situation of each group of countries.

2.Actions:

• Each partner will send to the coordinator his point of view and his experience on the standardization of the following techniques: Surveys. Modeling. Integration information. Administrative documentation.

• Before next meeting in May 2012, IDAE will send to the partners a draft of Standardized methodology.

• In meeting of May 2012 a first version of the standardized methodology will be approved.

• This first version will be sent to all EU NSis for comments.• Finally, will all the opinions of all the NSis and partners of the project a final version

of standardized methodology will be completed.10PRODUCTION OF A MANUAL FOR STATISTICS ON ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN HOUSEHOLDS

3.3.- WP 2: Standardized methodology

1. Objectives:

• To have a common definition of variables and concepts based on Task force 2008.

• Also to provide common definitions for new items in the residential area such as renewables and energy poverty.

2. Actions:

• IDAE will elaborate in February a draft of operational list with definitions that will sent to the partners for comments by 1st of March.

• IDAE will receive the commentaries of each partner and will elaborate a first version of operational lists definitions.

• First version will be aproved in working meeting in May 2012.• Each partner will send the first version of operational list definitions to NSis

at his charge and transmit to the coordinator the NSis’s comments.

3.4.- WP 2: Operational list definitions

1. Objectives

• To determine the structure and contents of the manual.

2. Considerations

• The manual must not have more than 200 pages.• IDAE proposal: manual has 4 differentiated parts:

Part 1: households consumption, identification of services and uses, information needs and definitions (the operational list) and situation of the energy statistics in the household sector in the EU (groups of countries with similar situation).

Part 2: presentation of the different techniques of approach and disaggregation of the households consumption: top-down, bottom-up, surveys, measures, modeling, information integration (data matching), disaggregation techniques, extrapolation techniques, etc.

Part 3: international best practices. Part 4: suggestions to progress from the national situations towards a

common EU methodology.
