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 research paper gives an overview of the technical challenges for both ports and shipping companies associated with the electrification of shipping, and explains how electric ships could work.
Wind farms tend to be large projects built in relatively remote areas, and in the past, they have often generated more disturbance than benefits for local communities. This World Bank report discusses models that allow host communities of wind energy projects to benefit more from those projects.
This report provides answers to three critical questions: Why should developing countries pursue e-mobility? When does an accelerated transition to electric vehicles (EVs) make sense for developing countries? How can governments make this transition happen?
This web page highlights the role of buildings in the energy transition (heating, cooling, lighting, etc), and presents data and recommendations.
This article provides an introduction to ESG and its relevance to the energy transition.
This Guide aims to assist community and indigenous communities groups in the development of their own small-scale renewable energy projects.
This slide deck provides a quick overview of the process for the development of energy projects by indigenous groups, including tips on choosing an optimal site, ownership structures and financing structures.
