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 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 report by the Global Energy Transitions Commission presents a complete picture of global building sector emissions and describes pathways to decarbonisation for both existing buildings and new construction.
This web page highlights the role of buildings in the energy transition (heating, cooling, lighting, etc), and presents data and recommendations.
This report discusses potential social and environmental risks associated with the roll-out of the GETFiT renewable energy investment programme in Zambia, as well as mitigation measures.
This feasibility study describes the institutional framework for waste management in Côte d’Ivoire, presents a baseline on compost and biogas value chains, and provides a feasibility assessment based on economic models.
This study quantifies the potential of producing biogas based on organic waste in two municipalities in Bolivia.
This report presents the results of a survey undertaken to investigate the current status of gender equality in the biogas sector, and compares these with a baseline survey conducted in 2012.
This guide provides insights on planning and implementing RBF projects to advance energy access that consider various LNOB aspects, including gender.
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.
