A new CEN-CENELEC Workshop is being planned as part of the activities of the EU project 'Enhancing energy audit schemes in energy intensive industries with practical approaches' (LIFE22-CET-LIFE AUDIT-PLUS). The aim of this project is to examine in detail the Energy Efficiency (EE) of several Energy Intensive Industries (EII) across Europe and provide tailored guidance and long-term support.
Energy Efficiency is often a key point on the agenda of European strategic plans as it is understood to add to EU’s competitive edge. However it is not always seen as a critical factor for business sustainability by industry, due to a lack of knowledge and prioritization of resources. The LIFE22-CET-LIFE AUDIT-PLUS project seeks to address this lack by investigating, analysing and assisting Energy Intensive Industries in Spain, Poland and Ireland.
This Workshop is being set up as complementary to the EU project’s aims. Its overarching goal is to provide a best-practice framework which will help organizations to implement energy improvements in a systematic and efficient manner. The results obtained in energy audits will be used to develop this guidance, with a view to making it applicable across many sectors.
The resulting CWA will form an important piece in standardization practices related to energy audits. It will include reference regulations and methodologies, as well as recommendations for energy efficiency measures and systematic results monitoring. More specifically it will focus on the post-audit phase, complement rather than overlapping with other European standards. The advice contained in the CWA will be in line with the European objectives for energy transition and climate neutrality and will be a robust response to the need to harmonize criteria and support industrial organizations.
The kick-off meeting for the Workshop will be an online meeting on 15th April 2026 from 10.00 am to 12.00 pm (CEST): Join the Teams Meeting
All interested parties are invited to submit comments on the draft Project Plan using the commenting form below, to the Workshop Secretary, Teresa Sanchez Segura (tsanchez@une.org), by April 6th, 2026.
