Mélanie Auvray
- Policy Manager
Mélanie holds a master's degree in international and European Law (in English) from Tilburg University, in Netherlands, with a focus on environmental law. After her graduation in 2019, Mélanie joined directly the European Heat Pump Association as a policy assistant and analysed the European Green Deal and its opportunities for the heat pump sector. She quickly took the lead on products related legislations (Ecodesign, energy labelling, network codes, code of conducts…) and started managing the Heat Pump Manufacturers Committee. With the expertise of the members, Mélanie drafted position papers and statements as support to engage with various European and National actors.
Recently Mélanie has been promoted to Policy Manager and is overseeing and providing guidance to the policy officers working on the products related legislations. She is now focusing on engaging with more key actors for heating and cooling applications and representing the European Heat Pump Association externally in webinar, conferences, workshops, panel discussions and trade shows. As a result, Mélanie has a strong network of actors involved in the transition of the heating and cooling sector (European Commission, Member States representatives, NGOs, consultancies, EU and National associations, manufacturers, testing centres and laboratories, installers, and energy providers.)
Since the summer 2023, Mélanie is also providing policy and advocacy support to two EU-funded projects: Compliance Services with Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Regulations and WaterWarmth, and provide them with the heat pump sector expertise.
