In today's episode of Efficiency Optimized, host Anousheh Parsaei from IEECP discusses policy recommendations using multiple impacts of energy efficiency with guests and energy policy experts Giulia Pizzini from IEECP and Niklas Mischkowski from ICLEI Europe.This episode explores the status quo of multiple impacts which are currently being used within policy making outside of the MICAT project, any existing guidelines on how multiple impacts can be quantified and leveraged at the local, regional, national or EU levels, AND MORE! This brings season one of Efficiency Optimized to a close, but stay tuned for our upcoming season, likely beginning next year, when we discuss how multiple benefits for energy efficiency affects you!
