The is a guide for local authorities interested in implementing an EnMS and steers them through a step-by-step approach to: know and understand the ISO 50001 methodology; build a working group within the local authority; define the local authority’s energy policy; correctly share roles and responsibilities among local authority staff; motivate and incentivize politicians and […]
This study examines the integration of AI into energy management processes in industrial facilities and the advantages it provides.
This paper explains how minimum energy performance standards for buildings can be implemented effectively while remaining socially just, using a differentiated approach that carefully follows a series of design principles.
This report delves into the challenges, opportunities, and innovations shaping the future of the steel industry as the global transition to a low-carbon economy accelerates.
The Breakthrough Agenda Report 2023 is an annual collaboration between the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the United Nations Climate Change High-Level Champions. It takes stock of emissions reductions in key energy subsectors and focuses on supporting stronger international collaboration to drive faster reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions.
This guidance note outlines how cities can tap into a wide array of proven technologies, policies, and financing mechanisms to improve energy efficiency and capture cost-effective energy savings in buildings.
Water infrastructure is among the biggest users of electricity in many municipalities. This policy brief makes recommendations to government (national, provincial and local) for cleaner energy (renewable energy and energy efficiency) policies related to municipal waterworks and their operations.
This step-by-step guide suggests the key elements that municipal officials need to consider to implement clean energy/energy efficiency projects in waterworks or other municipal operations. It provides information on developing strategies, formulating plans, providing adequate capacity and mobilising resources for successful origination and implementation of a project.
This guidebook helps practitioners adopt a holistic approach to sustainable neighbourhood design, integrating the design of efficient energy, water, wastewater and solid waste systems, and low energy mobility.
This technical note introduces a simplified path to sustainable design in seven steps: site analysis, site plan, building design, energy, water, solid waste and agriculture.
