6 CoM methodology Emissions inventory Reference base year: from 1990 on, depending on data available Sectors: Must cover at least 3 out of 4 key sectors Sectors: ad hoc, essentially consumption based Sectors: mandatoryrecommended-optional GHG: CO 2 or CO 2 eq, depending on data available (JRC conversion) Emission factors: IPCC or LCA depending on data available (JRC conversion) Sectors / Fields of action Municipal buildings Residential buildings Tertiary buildings Transport Local energy production Land use planning Public procurement Working with the citizens and stakeholders Industries (excl. ETS sector) Other sectors Recommended Recommended Recommended Recommended Optional See SEAP guidebook 6

7 CoM methodology Action Plans concrete actions covering at least the municipal buildings sector and one or more other key sectors (see BEI) For each actions, policy instrument and estimated cost to be specified, overall financing sources 2020 projection: depends on regional specificities (e.g. reduction compare to BAU 2020 for CoM E) 7

Buildings account for more than half of the energy consumed and transport close to one third. Share of overall energy consumption satisfied by locally produced energy.

These are the major policies instruments used by local authorities in the building sector (municipal, residential and tertiary buildings), ranging from 12-20% of the estimated GHG emission reductions. Procurement Public procurement: This policy instrument is estimated to contribute with 25% to the GHG emission reductions in the Municipal Building and Facilities and with 13% in the public lighting sector.
