In principle, every year the Energy List is updated due to new developments in
technology, standards, quality marks and certification. Companies also have the
opportunity to contribute to the composition of the Energy list by submitting proposals
with assets to be included in the list. These proposals are evaluated by representatives
from the energy agency SenterNovem, the Ministry of Housing, Spatial
Planning and Environment, and the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Important
judgement criteria are that 1) the energy efficiency measure is additional and 2) the
asset is not yet common practice. First of all, proposals are judged on the energy
saving standard to be achieved, complemented with other criteria like maintenance,
verification and conflicts with other policies.
