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 report highlights the importance of sector coupling as a key source of flexibility that cities can explore to stabilise power grid operations when integrating high shares of variable renewable energy sources. It presents a range of sector coupling opportunities available for use in cities, including self-consumption of variable RE sources, the role of thermal […]
This module aims to help policymakers and regulators understand the potential benefits of and opportunities for improving the efficiency of buildings and give them a background on the key issues to be addressed when developing suitable policies and a framework for implementation.
This guidance note outlines how cities can tap into a wide array of proven technologies, policies, and financing mechanisms to improve energy efficiency and capture cost-effective energy savings in buildings.
