This article announces the adoption of harmonised minimum energy performance standards for air conditioners and refrigerators in the 16 member countries of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). It also explains the process by which these harmonised standards were developed and adopted.
This article explores how the Central American Integration System (SICA) has helped lead the way to improve energy efficiency in appliances at the regional level, and the opportunities that further harmonisation could generate.
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 […]
This report highlights the main challenges and opportunities in energy transition financing from a regional perspective, highlighting commonalities and differences across Africa, Asia and the Pacific (APAC), Europe, and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).
This page provides an introduction to renewable energy certificates
This report aims to support state-level leadership and action in pursuit of the just energy transition in Mexico, by providing a rationale for state-level action, an overview of international good practices, an analysis of challenges and opportunities, and a toolkit of energy transition measures that states can consider adopting.
This report explores the critical intersections of AI development, gender equality and energy transitions, emphasizing how AI applications can advance a sustainable, equitable and just energy transition.
This paper discusses the role of AI in the energy transition in Latin America, identifies key factors for successful implementation in the region and proposes an AI maturity model for the energy transition that allows stakeholders to assess the status and gaps for the AI adoption.
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 study examines the integration of AI into energy management processes in industrial facilities and the advantages it provides.
