This project aims to improve energy end-use consumption demand-side modelling capacity within the Department of Energy

This project aims to improve energy end-use consumption demand-side modelling capacity within the Department of Energy (DoE) through training, developing an energy data collection action plan and piloting the action plan in the commercial sector.

Phase 1 of the project will focus on assessing DoE's current skills set, capacity gaps and priority areas for improvement; developing approaches and/or tools for data collection and modelling; and proposing a strategy for improving DoE's Institutional capacity.
Phase 2 involves training of DoE staff in the use of the LEAP (Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning) energy-modelling software; and developing the first draft data collection structure and LEAP model.
Phase 3 finalises the data catalogue, LEAP model and data collection action plan; pilots the acton plan in the commercial sector; and includes a training and demonstration session with DoE of the LEAP model.
