- Tools 11 October 2021 Solar PV on municipal buildings: a guide to feasibility and financial analysis Building scale renewable energy is the most impactful action that cities can take to decarbonise their energy sector, especially with the rapidly falling costs of renewable energy technologies. City governments can move fastest by using their own underutilised rooftop space to generate electricity with solar PVs. Not only is this a cost-efficient way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality, but it can also reduce municipal reduce energy costs and generate financial…
- Tools 2 September 2016 Local Energy Efficiency Policy Calculator (LEEP-C) The tool provides the opportunity to analyse the impacts of 23 different policy types from 4 energy-using sectors: public buildings, commercial buildings, residential buildings, and transportation. Impacts of policy choices are analysed in terms of energy savings, cost savings, pollution reduction, and other outcomes over a time period set by the user. The tool also allows for assigning the weights to different policy options based on community priorities in order to tailor policy development…
