3. 3 Chapter 4: Situation of the Energy Statistics in the Residential Sector in the EU (1) M ESH PROJECT : P RODUCTION OF A M ANUAL FOR S TATISTICS ON E NERGY C ONSUMPTION IN H OUSEHOLDS Objectives: To determine and update the situation of the energy statistics in the household sector in EU countries How: Country-by-country analysis of the availability, detail, quality and reliability of information on the energy statistics in the household sector and determination of the coverage of the Task Force 2008 requirements Results: 3 groups of countries according to the degree of coverage of the TF 2008 requirements.

4. 4 Chapter 4: Situation of the Energy Statistics in the Residential Sector in the EU (2) M ESH PROJECT : P RODUCTION OF A M ANUAL FOR S TATISTICS ON E NERGY C ONSUMPTION IN H OUSEHOLDS 1.Situation of the energy statistics in the household sector in the EU: Competences and involved bodies 2.Improvement actions carried out by Eurostat: TF 2008 and SECH projects 3.Definition of the degree of coverage: good; medium; and low 4.Establishment of the Groups of Coverage and Map of Groups of Coverage-TF-2008 Requirements 5.Methods of information acquisition currently used and frequency by Groups of Coverage 6.Methods of information processing by Groups of Coverage 7.Best practices identified in the Groups of Coverage Structure of the Chapter : Overlap with other Manual chapters With Chapter 3 Points for discussion How we solve the overlap with chapter 3? Objectives: Anything else to consider? Structure: Anything to add/delete? Other overlaps?

5. 5 Chapter 7: Survey Techniques M ESH PROJECT : P RODUCTION OF A M ANUAL FOR S TATISTICS ON E NERGY C ONSUMPTION IN H OUSEHOLDS Objective: To transfer the Manual users the necessary theoretical knowledge to support on the design and elaboration of surveys to be used in the data acquisition stage, oriented to have detailed energy statistics in the household sector. Structure of the Chapter: 1.Definition of “Survey” and basic concepts. 2.Type of surveys. 3.Basic steps to create a survey. 4.Design of samples. 5.Questionnaire: design and presentation procedure 6.Techniques of depuration. With Chapter 5b Overlap with other Manual chapters Points for discussion How we solve the overlap with chapter 5b? Objectives: Anything else to consider? Structure: Anything to add/delete? Other overlaps?

6. 6 Subchapter 10.D: Integration TD/BU/Modeling Best Practices M ESH PROJECT : P RODUCTION OF A M ANUAL FOR S TATISTICS ON E NERGY C ONSUMPTION IN H OUSEHOLDS To expose the best practices identified in the approach to the detailed energy statistics in the household sector, which integrate Top-Down, Bottom-Up and/or Modelling activities. Objective: 1.Best practices on TD/BU integration. 2.Best practices on TD/Modelling integration. 3.Best practices on BU/Modelling integration. 4.Best practices on TD/ BU/Modelling integration. Structure of the Subchapter: Possible overlap with Chapter 13 Overlap with other Manual chapters Points for discussion How we solve the overlap with chapter 5b? Objectives: Anything else to consider? Structure: Anything to add/delete? Other overlaps?

7. 7 Chapter 11: From National Practices towards EU Comparable Methodology: Suggestions (1) M ESH PROJECT : P RODUCTION OF A M ANUAL FOR S TATISTICS ON E NERGY C ONSUMPTION IN H OUSEHOLDS To reflect the results of the Task 2.3.- Standardized methodology Methodological operations to suggest the MMSS to be used depending on each situation, as far detailed energy statistics of the household sector are concerned  Comparable energy statistics at European level Objective: Key Elements: List of Variables and Concepts A common standardized European methodology Users’ needs 1.Preliminary considerations 2.Groups of Coverage and users’ needs 3.Compendium of best practices identified to be applied 4.Standardized Methodologies. 5.List of Variables and Concepts. 6.Suggestions based on Groups of Coverage. Structure of the Subchapter: With Chapter 3 (definitions). Overlap with other Manual chapters

8. 8 Chapter 11: From National Practices towards EU Comparable Methodology: Suggestions (2) M ESH PROJECT : P RODUCTION OF A M ANUAL FOR S TATISTICS ON E NERGY C ONSUMPTION IN H OUSEHOLDS Proposed method to be used in the MESH project Issue to debate and reach consensus among the MESH partners and Eurostat Points for discussion Objectives: Anything else to consider? Structure: Anything to add/delete? Proposed method: other alternatives? How we solve the overlap with chapter 3 (definitions)? Others Possible overlaps?
