End-use energy efficiency alone can deliver 35% of the cumulative CO2 savings through 2050 required to meet the climate goals of the Paris Agreement.

Efficiency as a Service:
An energetic model for
a brighter Europe

EaaS offers a pay-per-use model where customers only pay for the service they receive, rather than the physical product, therefore avoiding the upfront costs of expensive modern efficient systems.

EaaS integrates financial tools to recapitalize technology providers who own the equipment and take on all future costs related to operations and maintenance, including water, electricity, and repair bills.

EaaS can also encourage manufacturers of energy efficient technology to design for reuse rather than obsolescence, thus supporting circular economy.
