In line with the Joint Research Centre’s mission to provide customer-driven scientific
and technical support, the Institute for Energy (IE) in Ispra (IT) contributes to the
conception, development, implementation and monitoring of community policies
related to energy. Special emphasis is given to scientific research in support of the
security of energy supply and sustainable and safe energy production, both in the
nuclear and non-nuclear fields. Further information can be found at

End-use energy efficiency shall reduce European energy consumption by 20 by year
2020, and also contribute to the renewable energy and Green House Gases (GHG)
emission targets. Among the priority actions and policy measures proposed by the
European Commission in the Energy Efficiency Action Plan, many aim at improving
the energy efficiency of existing and new buildings in the frame of the Energy
Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). The second priority area is the
improvement of building equipment and systems in the frame of the Eco-design
directive
In the job the following scientific and technical tasks shall be performed:
• To analyze the current building stock and carry out the assessment of the
energy efficiency and energy saving potential;
• To contribute to the refinement of the cost optimal methodology for setting
national building performance standards;
• To contribute to the definition of nearly zero energy efficiency;
• Investigation of the financial mechanisms to foster energy efficiency retrofits
in building;.
• Perform technical analyses of specific products and building components in
the frame of the Eco-design Directive
The ideal candidate should have a PhD degree in engineering or building science, with
specific focus on end-use energy efficiency in buildings and/or in products. Proven
experience with energy analysis of buildings is an advantage. JRC applies an equal
opportunities policy - in case of equal merit, preference will be given to the gender in
minority.
