This web page highlights the role of buildings in the energy transition (heating, cooling, lighting, etc), and presents data and recommendations.
This page explores the best practice regulatory, fiscal and economic instruments available today to encourage a more efficient/electric vehicle stock.
This database contains information on solar home systems, pico-PV products and efficient appliances that have been tested and certified by Lighting Global’s Verasol.
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 module aims to help policymakers and regulators understand the potential benefits of and opportunities for improving the efficiency of buildings and give them a background on the key issues to be addressed when developing suitable policies and a framework for implementation.
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 slide desk provides an overview of energy efficiency standards in Southern and East Africa and presents (draft) harmonized standards for lighting, refrigerators and air conditioners.
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.
This guide suggests tools cities can deploy to encourage the implementation of building energy efficiency and renewable energy measures by the private sector and citizens.
This policy brief assesses a selection of green building practices, programmes, and regulatory frameworks from Latin American countries including Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico and Peru.
