Abstract

The MICATool is a comprehensive framework designed to assess the Multiple Impacts of energy efficiency and renewable energy measures. Its methodology allows the incorporation of a variety of social, economic and environmental indicators reflecting the wider impacts of assessed measures. The framework provides the necessary inputs and gathers indicators' results, in both physical and, where applicable, monetised terms. Furthermore, the results can be assessed in a cost-benefit analysis module. As a result, the MICATool supports the assessment and comparison of different measures pertaining to energy efficiency and renewable energy. The framework allows for the embedding of multiple impact indicators for quantification and monetisation. These assessments allow for better informed energy policy decisions
