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 page explains the role of digitalisation in energy transitions, tracks digitalisation progress, and provides policy recommendations.
This blog describes four opportunities for digitalisation to accelerate just energy transitions: smart energy management, decentralized energy systems, climate-resilient farming, and public transport.
These guidelines provide advice on the development of green hydrogen clusters, which are industrial clusters that share green hydrogen and renewable energy for various purposes and can significantly contribute to industrial decarbonisation.
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.
