EPC-LC v1.1
The Investor Confidence Project (ICP) Europe is enabling a market for Investor Ready Energy Efficiency™ projects by reducing transaction costs and engineering overhead for building renovation projects, while increasing the reliability and consistency of savings.

ICP takes the variability out of the process by leveraging best practices for each phase of an energy retrofit and credentialing projects through third-party review. The near-term benefit of ICP Europe will be greater deal flow with reduced transaction costs and more market confidence in energy savings and performance risk in general. On a longer-term basis, ICP Europe will help establish energy efficiency as a new and profitable global asset class leading to a  commercial building sector with lower operating costs, higher market value, and a significantly lower carbon footprint.

ICP Europe is assembling a growing marketplace connecting project developers with a wide range of project investors. This expanding sector includes both equity and debt finance companies, building owners and managers, energy service providers, insurers, engineers, utilities, and a range of NGO and public sector organizations.

Europe has ambitious energy goals.. The European Commission has set an overall long-term target for the building sector of around 90% reduction of CO2 emissions by 2050. With buildings representing 40% of all energy consumption, improving energy efficiency in building renovation is critical to achieving these goals. The cost of renovations needed to achieve these goals are estimated at €3.5 trillion by 2050, or around €95 billion annually. This will require substantial private investment from institutions who view building renovation projects as safe and reliable assets.
ICP EUROPE ALLIES

ICP Europe is developing a set of Energy Performance Protocols specific to the European sector that will define a clear road map from retrofit opportunity to an investor- ready energy efficiency project, reducing often onerous transaction costs and making performance risk manageable to investors, while ensuring building owners achieve the many benefits of improved energy efficiency including reduced operating costs, enhanced productivity, and a lower carbon footprint.

The Investor Confidence Project is driven by the needs of an evolving industry We are constantly looking for feedback on our protocols and input through our Technical Forums, and encourage interested stakeholders to participate in the process by joining the ICP Europe Ally Network.  Help ICP unlock the potential of energy efficiency as a global asset class.
