• Tools 19 August 2016 Co-Benefits Risk Assessment (COBRA) This tool can calculate the value of clean energy policies such as energy efficiency or fuel switching, which can help state and local governments to consider both the costs and benefits of policy choices and support a balanced decision-making process.AimTo calculate the value of clean energy policies.Target audienceLocal policy-makers, ExpertsApproachInteractiveScopePolicyStage of PD cycleDesign, TrackingCity focusTargeting
• Tools 19 August 2016 Green Resources & Energy Analysis Tool (GREAT) The GREAT Tool for Cities is an integrated bottom-up, energy end-use based modelling and accounting tool for tracking energy consumption, production and resource extraction in all economic sectors on a city, provincial or regional level. The model uses the Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP) software developed by the Stockholm Environmental Institute and includes a national average dataset on energy input parameters for residential, commercial, transport, industry and…
• Tools 19 August 2016 The Co-benefits Evaluation Tool for the Urban Energy System The tool evaluates climate co-benefits for the urban energy system based on different scenarios of socioeconomic, technological and demographic developments. The tool relates systematically the climate change based on the specific energy demand in different sectors in cities to the corresponding social, economic and technological factors that affect this demand. Aim To evaluate climate co-benefits for the urban energy system. Target audience Policy-makers Approach Interactive Scope Policy Stage…
• Tools 19 August 2016 Building Energy Optimization (BEopt™) BEopt is a software tool that can evaluate residential building designs and identify cost-optimal efficiency packages at various levels of whole-house energy savings along the path to zero net energy. It is used to analyse both new construction and existing home retrofits, as well as single-family detached and multi-family buildings, through evaluation of single building designs, parametric sweeps, and cost-based optimizations. Aim To help evaluate building design and cost-optimal…
• Tools 19 August 2016 Benchmarking and Energy Saving Tool for Low Carbon Cities (BEST) The tool is designed to provide city authorities with strategies they can follow to reduce city-wide carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions. The tool quickly assesses local energy use and energy-related CO2 and CH4 emissions across nine sectors (i.e., industry, public and commercial buildings, residential buildings, transportation, power and heat, street lighting, water & wastewater, solid waste, and urban green space), giving officials a comprehensive perspective on their local…
• Tools 1 July 2016 Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies (EDGE) The EDGE system makes energy and water efficient design accessible for almost any building project, of any budget, within minutes. The EDGE software provides cost-effective design options, calculates pay-backs from utility savings, forecasts GHG savings, and building efficiency can be certified at minimal cost.AimTo help calculate energy savings of a green building.Target audiencePolicy makers, financial institutions, architects, real estate developers, hospitals, schools, shops, offices,…
• Tools 10 June 2016 Fuel Economy Policies Implementation Tool (FEPIT) Fuel Economy Policies Implementation Tool (FEPIT) allows countries to analyse potential outcomes of different policy options based on the characteristics of their vehicle fleets in a range of different scenarios.  It also aims to support countries as they seek to promote fuel economy policies.FEPIT was developed by IEA and introduced to GFEI partners during the GFEI global training event held in Paris on 11-12 June 2015 in conjunction with the IEA Energy Efficiency Training Week,…
• Tools 19 April 2016 The State Energy Efficiency Scorecard The State Scorecard assesses state policies and programs that improve energy efficiency in our homes, businesses, industries, and transportation systems. It considers the six policy areas in which states typically pursue energy efficiency: utility and public benefits, transportation, building energy codes and compliance, combined heat and power (CHP), state government–led initiatives around energy efficiency, and appliance and equipment standards.
