Dear reader, Lots of news at the beginning of 2007! Let me start by introducing you to our News Review – the magazine that carries all the latest news on IEE activities. As the IEE programme has grown, so has our news, so we have revamped our newsletter and created the News Review. It will be published every four months and will be available in six languages – English, French, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish. This means  that more people will learn more about what we are doing to create a more energy-intelligent Europe. The arrival of the News Review coincides with the launch of the new Intelligent Energy – Eu -rope II programme, which is part of a broader EU Framework Programme for competitiveness and innovation from 2007 to 2013. Improving European performance in energy efficiency and renewable energies is considered key to Europe’s competitiveness and it plans to encourage innovation and create jobs. At their recent Spring European Council in Brussels, European Heads of State took landmark decisions on a new energy policy for Europe, including ambitious objectives to cut greenhou -se gases, increase energy efficiency and make greater use of renewable energy in Europe. Their agreement is an important signal to the markets. Intelligent energy has moved to the centre of the debate on our future energy supply and the new Intelligent Energy – Europe programme will have a major role to play in this respect. I hope you enjoy reading the News Review. If you have any comments, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

> w ww. futurenergia.org / www.europeanschoolnet.org European schoolnet – stimulating online chat on intelligent energy “We were looking for a good, simple definition of ‘intelligent energy’, but were not satisfied with the results. Could you give us an understandable definition?“ “How does the EU encourage schools to use solar energy?“ These are just two from among the dozens of questions which European schoolchildren asked IEEA Director Patrick Lambert on 23 January 2007, when he and a small IEEA team chatted for one hour over the Internet with children from 16 European schools about how to make better use of energy at home and at school. The session was organised by the “Energy is our Future“ project of European Schoolnet, an initiative of 28 European education ministries. This is not the first time the IEEA has tackled the subject of secondary school education on energy. The Intelligent Energy – Europe programme currently funds several European projects in this area. But answering the sharp, fundamental questions about the future of energy in Europe was a special, stimulating experience for everybody this year. Children want to hear simple truths. If you cannot explain your policy to a school class you perhaps cannot explain it at all! > w ww. managenergy.net Managenergy Local Energy Action Award 2007 & Kids Corner The City of Barcelona is the winner of the Local Energy Action Award 2007, part of the European Commission’s ManagEnergy initiative. The European Commissioner for Energy, Andris Piebalgs, presented the award during the EU Sustainable Energy Week in Brussels to Ms Imma Mayol i Beltran, deputy Mayor of Barcelona, in recognition of the city’s commitment to sustainable energy. The EU Sustainable Energy Week was also the launch pad for the 2007 ManagEnergy Kids Corner drawing and photo competition, which is open until 30 July 2007. As in 2006, 12 to 15-year-olds can participate by submitting a photograph illustrating sustainable energy. 7 to 11 year-olds have a new challenge: they have been asked to design a new character for one of the games on the Kids Corner website. Full competition details are available in several languages on the ManagEnergy website. ManagEnergy is funded by the Intelligent Energy – Europe programme. > h ttp://ec.euro pa.eu/energy/intelligent/library/publication s _ e n . h t m 280 projects for a more energy-intelligent
First European Union Sustainable Energy Week creates waves  The first EU Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) kicked off on 29 January under the banner ‘Take a week to change tomorrow.’ It made headlines around the EU. About 5000 participants took part in more than 40 events in Brussels and other European cities organised by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Energy and Transport, the European Institutions and major stakeholders. Adding to the momentum, the IEEA and the European Commission presented the new Intelligent Energy – Europe II funding programme. The EUSEW is designed to raise awareness of sustainable energy issues. Organisers hope that in the long-term it will become a regular reference point for sustainable energy issues in Europe, bringing together the wide variety of people who are interested. Visitors and organisers were unanimous in their verdict: the event was a success and must be repeated.  EU Sustainable Energy Week website: www.eusew.eu  Video Recordings from the week: www.managenergy.tv
In January 2007, the IEEA Director and his team discussed intelligent energy issues with children from 16 European schools via the European Schoolnet online chat room

How can legislators and policymakers assess the effects their policies on renewable energy sources are having? How can local authorities or companies monitor their energy performance? Both European and national policy initiatives on intelligent energy and corporate energy management are increasingly based on quantitative targets and concrete objectives. This means that reliable data and suitable methods are needed to measure, monitor and evaluate their success. The Intelligent Energy – Europe programme funds a number of projects to address this challenge and to improve our ability to assess progress towards a more energy-intelligent Europe.

The projects cover a variety of areas including renewable energy, energy-efficient buildings, industry, consumer products, transport and developing countries. Here is the latest on their achievements and plans. Full details of all Intelligent Energy – Europe projects are available on http://ec.europa.eu/energy/intelligent/projects/index_en.htm
Office buildings, swimming halls, universities and even churches: all kinds of non-residential buildings from across Europe can be made more energy-efficient. In the new GREENBUILDING brochure, you will find 10 best-practice cases  from nine European countries. They are examples of the many ways of achieving energy efficiency and integration of renewables in non-residential buildings, significantly reducing both energy consumption and costs in the process. All projects are part of the European GREENBUILDING Programme. The brochure, which also lists the national contact points in Europe and explains the rules for taking part in GREENBUILDING, can be ordered or downloaded from the project website.
