Selection of (sub-)sector and improvement action

Background

The choice of available sectors and subsectors is linked to the differences between default values. For instance, default values within the residential and tertiary sectors are rather similar, whereas subsectors within industry vary very strongly in terms of default data. In the same sense, improvement actions have been selected to bundle measures with similar default values and parameters.

Decomposition

In the course of the decomposition, a measure package, programme, or policy instrument is disaggregated in its parts, each addressing a certain combination of (sub-)sector and improvement action. Accordingly, shares of the total energy savings and investments should be allocated to the single parts. These can then be inputed into the MICATool. An example is shown in Figure 1.
