The purpose of FROnT initiative is to promote a level playing field for Renewable Energy Sources - Heating and Cooling (RES-HC) in Europe, and develop strategies for its greater deployment. Created in March 2014 and co-funded by the Intelligent Energy Europe (IEE) programme, it has analysed both existing support schemes and end user decision factors, addressed the levelised costs of heating and cooling, as well as information gaps and other market barriers, in order to help establish strategic policy priorities for enhancing RES-HC presence in the market. The FROnT initiative has produced diverse tools and studies which will support consumers in their decision process, industry in communicating better with consumers and policy makers to create better and efficient policies regarding RES-HC
