The tool was used right from the beginning of the planning level by planners and technicians. Almost all relevant groups and people were involved and had the possibility to contribute their experiences and their special knowledge which also influenced decision making.
Qualitative and quantitative benchmarks were used (e.g.: benchmarks set by the tool were the reduction in CO2 emissions by -20%, and for a 25% share of regenerative energy source, etc.), they were compared to the data of 1994.
Reduction of CO2 emission by thermal insulation
Thermography measurements on municipality buildings to show where to place thermal insulation
The tool was used to support argumentations through showing the benchmarks and the ways how they were reached supported the different projects.
Decision making process - how was the information for the dmp disseminated
The information was disseminated through NGOs to the public. The mass media, press and internet were used for dissemination
