White certificates

White certificates are energy efficiency certificates that confirm the energy savings claims of market actors as a consequence of energy efficiency improvement measures (Directive 2006/32/EC). This is a market-oriented approach in which white certificates can be traded or used for compliance purposes.
Measuring and verifying compliance requires the calculation of savings through comparative measurements of energy use and/or demand before (baseline energy use) and after the implementation. However, baseline conditions can change after the saving measure has been installed. To overcome these challenges in a cost-effective way, pre-defined saving factors can be used.
