This guide aims to help energy statisticians understand the various elements and processes involved in renewable energy data collection and management, and identify capacity gaps. It covers seven requirements for effective data management: 1. Legal and institutional frameworks; 2. Well-defined data requirements; 3. Sufficient skilled personnel; 4. Clear methodologies and processes; 5. Appropriate data collection […]
This web page highlights the role of buildings in the energy transition (heating, cooling, lighting, etc), and presents data and recommendations.
The is comprehensive course is intended for energy statisticians working at national statistical offices and ministries in charge of energy.
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 guide suggests tools cities can deploy to encourage the implementation of building energy efficiency and renewable energy measures by the private sector and citizens.
This policy brief assesses a selection of green building practices, programmes, and regulatory frameworks from Latin American countries including Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico and Peru.
This guidebook helps practitioners adopt a holistic approach to sustainable neighbourhood design, integrating the design of efficient energy, water, wastewater and solid waste systems, and low energy mobility.
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.
Designing for energy efficiency reduces the overall demand for resources to generate energy. This checklist will help to identify key design issues that will demonstrate whether the proposed design will be energy efficient.
