This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
SMIV is the first Monitoring and Verification Platform developed as an online application that incorporates National Energy Efficiency Action Plans, Regional and Local Energy Efficiency Action Plans and planning instruments together with specially devised tools that allow all users to generate reports, plans and calculations of their energy savings under the same unified methodology, defined by EU principles.
Data contained in SMIV is used for many energy savings calculations, analysis and continuous oversight of achieved National energy efficiency targets. SMIV is based on the bottom-up methodology and is used on a local and national level to calculate energy savings in three main sectors: Building, Industry and Transport. SMIV greatly simplifies the process of calculating energy efficiency savings through simple user interface were users with basic IT skills can enter data on implemented measures.
During implementation phase of the project, all users representatives received education and technical support through multiple regional workshops.

Resources needed
Funding was provided under the project "Regional cooperation on setting up energy efficiency monitoring platforms" financed from Open Regional Fund for South-East Europe, and run by Die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). Croatia was a beneficiary.
Evidence of success
Croatia now has available data on all National energy savings available in one place, the process of reporting to the EU and local government became faster and easier and there is a clear picture of what was done.
Potential for learning or transfer
SMiV could be transferred to other countries.
