policy role

The model is designed for use in policy formulation on light sources, specifically for economic and technical characterisation of policy options, and for impact assessments. The model can also be used (after a review study) for post evaluation of the impacts of policies.

It can help to assess the following impacts: 

Environmental impacts

  • Energy efficiency (energy use per unit of performance)
  • Energy consumption
  • GHG emissions

Economic impacts

  • Sales (units, price)
  • Stock (units)
  • Acquisition costs
  • Running costs
  • Consumer expenditure
  • Revenues market actors

Social impacts

  • Employment (jobs)
