EPEE webinar looks to energy as a service

BELGIUM: EPEE is to broadcast a #CountOnCooling webinar focusing on rethinking existing relationships between producers and consumers and shifting to service-based models.

Based on what EPEE describes as the phenomenon of “servicisation” in the energy sector, it will explore what works, what doesn’t, and how it all relates to EU climate goals.

EPEE insists that consumers are looking for convenience and user-friendliness, buying a concept or a function rather than a product. It insists a shift in mindset is needed to move away from complex, technology-driven products towards easy-to-manage, fully integrated solutions.

The 90-minute webinar will include three case studies on cooling, heating and lighting. The cooling talk will be provided by Dimitris Karamitsos, a senior energy efficiency business developer specialist at the Swiss organisation Basel Agency for Sustainable Energy (BASE). 

With more than 10 years of professional experience in the field of energy and sustainable technologies, Dimitris has strong experience in valuation principles, business development, digitalisation and project execution. Within BASE, Dimitris plays a key role in accelerating the deployment of the CaaS model worldwide; supporting in technology assessment, business development and solution implementation.

The webinar takes place on May 19 from 09.30 to 11.00 (CEST).
