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.
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.
This report helps policymakers develop building codes and regulations that promote the construction of green buildings.
This technical note introduces a simplified path to sustainable design in seven steps: site analysis, site plan, building design, energy, water, solid waste and agriculture.
This slide deck provides step-by-step instructions for energy audits of buildings.
This article assesses the opportunities provided by digital monitoring, reporting and verification (dMRV), which can facilitate real-time tracking of the use and fuel sales from clean cooking products, thereby increasing the integrity of emissions reduction claims.
This report illustrates the need for digital monitoring, reporting, and verification (D-MRV) systems to underpin future carbon markets. It discusses the available technologies, and barriers to their adoption, as well as guidelines, tools, and lessons learned to promote the use of these systems.
