The objective of this study is to analyse the role of heating and cooling in the context of energy efficiency obligation schemes (EEOS). The energy efficiency obligation schemes (EEOS) are market-based instruments and should be applied to generate the final energy savings as recommended and mandated in Article 7 of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED). The EEOS are applied in the majority of EU Member States, either as sole policy measure or accompanied by alternative measures.
