* Enforced market shares of fuel types. Such an analysis could, for instance, provide insight into the implications in the model of increasing the use of biofuels, electricity or hydrogen ([[Van Ruijven et al., 2007]]).

The PBL study [[Resource Efficiency project|Resource Efficiency]] ([[Van den Berg et al., 2011]]) provides an example of how TIMER can be used to explore the impact of radically improving energy efficiency. The study included an accelerated trend to best available technologies in iron and steel production and other industries, most efficient passenger vehicles and aircraft, a moderate shift from aircraft to high-speed trains, and building highly efficient housing (mostly insulation measures). The study also assumed that newly installed power plants will be based on the best available technologies. The measures in this global energy efficiency scenario will considerably reduce energy use than under the baseline scenario. Primary energy consumption will be reduced by about 30% by 2050.

TIMER model, energy demand module
Some sectors are represented in a generic way as shown here, the sectors transport, residential and heavy industry are modelled in specific modules.
