March 31, 2016

2. C2E2 - WRI work on tools mapping
C2E2 - WRI collaboration under
Building Efficiency Accelerator
Aim:
to analyze and 'map' publically available tools and sources on energy efficiency in buildings to assist local policy-makers in accelerating energy efficiency
Results of the analysis will be presented in upcoming publications
DTR 2016

Do you have a baseline for EE status?
CCM,
GREAT
Can you collect data required for EE baseline?
TRACE,
city-level databases
Scoping
Can you identify barriers to EE?
DTR, IPCC AR4 Chapter 6,
IEA Governance Handbook No
Yes
Webinar #1 - :
CCM & TRACE
Identification
Can you identify policy instruments to address existing barriers and prioritize them?
Building Policy Assessment Tool, TRACE, BEST, IEA EE Governance Handbook, ENERGYSTAR Energy Treasure Hunt Guide
Yes No
A best‐practice intervention to provide a local, affordable and low‐carbon energy supply to buildings is district energy, achieving economies of scale. It offers a number of opportunities: it can provide both heating and cooling to a number of buildings, as well as thermal storage, integrate renewables, make use of waste heat from industry and natural water reserves.
However, such opportunities can be used in an effective way, only if the buildings the energy is supplied to are energy efficient. It creates an important synergetic effect between energy demand and supply at the level of building, district and city, and today we will look at some examples of that.

5. Will your policy actions track/include EE multiple benefits?

Policy design
Do you have policy design guidelines and/or information on existing policy practices?
Guidelines: Handbook of Sustainable Building Policies, IPCC AR5 Chapter 9, IEA EE Governance Handbook, DTR
Existing policy practices: BEEP, PAMS, GBPN Tool for new buildings, GBPN Tool for renovation, BigEE, Solutions gateway, Driving Transformation Report
Will your policy actions track/include EE multiple benefits?
