This article presents the most effective options for cities to set mandatory minimum energy performance standards for buildings, to prevent locking in […]
This explainer by the German Heinrich Böll Foundation provides a quick overview of green hydrogen, the way it is produced, the role it can play in the energy transition, and the main challenges.
This paper presents a value chain approach to identify priority areas for developing national hydrogen strategies, focussing on emerging and developing economies.
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 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.
