What is BEEN-i?

BEEN-i is the abbreviation for the Bavarian Energy Efficiency Network Initiative. The initiative was launched in 2014 by the German government and aims to improve the energy efficiency of the Bavarian economy across the board by initiating energy efficiency networks.

What is an energy efficiency network?

An energy efficiency network is a community in which, through a regular, moderated and targeted exchange of experience, the possible savings potential of the participating companies or institutions is made available with less effort than with singular energy consulting and thus a reduction in energy costs is achieved.

What are the benefits of a network?

  • Save energy & reduce costs
  • Reduce CO2 emissions
  • Efficiency technology - build know-how

What are the benefits for participants?

  • Valuable knowledge transfer through experience exchange at the regular meetings
  • Exclusive know-how by current and energy-relevant specialized lectures
  • Founded energy audit/initial consultation with concrete suggestions for energy efficiency measures
  • Calculation of the investment profitability as decision basis for the conversion in the own enterprise
  • Best practice enterprise inspections on site exclusively for network participants
  • Possibility of the certifying (bspw. EMAS or ISO 50001) as part of the network
