This web page highlights the role of buildings in the energy transition (heating, cooling, lighting, etc), and presents data and recommendations.
This paper underscores the need for sustainable utilities to deliver the energy transition in lower- and middle-income countries, and provides recommendations to governments and other stakeholders.
This report highlights the economic, social and environmental benefits that energy and transport sector-coupling and a transition towards EV- and RE-based, efficient systems can create in small island settings, and provides tools for the planning of such a transition.
This study quantifies the potential of producing biogas based on organic waste in two municipalities in Bolivia.
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 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 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 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.
This guide suggests tools cities can deploy to encourage the implementation of building energy efficiency and renewable energy measures by the private sector and citizens.
