The average lifespan of a building is 50 years, so the design of buildings that are constructed now will have an effect on energy consumption in our cities until well into the 2070s. This article presents the most effective options for cities to set mandatory minimum energy performance standards for buildings, to prevent locking in … Continue reading “How to set energy efficiency requirements for new buildings”
This brochure provides step-by-step instructions for walk-through energy audits, focusing on heating, lighting, and bills and meter readings in offices and factories or warehouses.
This guide helps businesses in the establishment of energy management systems. An updated version is currently under development and is due to be published soon.
