• Webinar & E-Learning 19 October 2021 Unshackling ESCO Potential: Public Financial Mechanisms that Enhance the Viability of ESCO Projects (Webinar) – 21.09.2021 In order to reduce the annual growth in global energy demand through 2040 from 1.0% to 0.3%, an estimated USD 24.5 trillion in energy efficiency (EE) investments will be needed. Across developed energy service markets around the world, the public sector can potentially mobilize the bulk of that capital by creating a demand for ESCO services and introduce financial mechanisms that will enhance project viability. Such initiatives could include the use of energy performance contracting in public…
• News 24 April 2020 In times of health, economic and climate crisis, energy efficiency is part of the answer The multiple benefits of adopting more efficient energy demand practices in buildings, industry, agriculture and transport, now renovated as part of the solution to unprecedented challenges, are well known. Energy efficiency can make a significant contribution to decarbonisation by reducing the use of fossil fuels, reducing contamination and consequently improving air quality. This effect alone has positive impacts on public health, making us more resilient to pathogenic activity. Energy…
• Webinar & E-Learning 6 May 2019 Energy Efficiency in Appliances in the MENA region (Webinar) - 04.04.2019 It was calculated that about 30% of the predicted global increase in energy demand will come from the Arab region[1]. Further, the primary energy demand has increased by around 56% between 2005 and 2015 and is still increasing. The high subsidies have led to a great overconsumption resulting with 40% worse than global average in some of the lowest energy efficiency levels worldwide[2]. This shows the urgent need to put more focus on Energy the residential, industrial and commercial sectors to…
• Webinar & E-Learning 23 August 2018 Energy Efficiency and the Cooling Imperative: Tapping the synergies with the HFC Refrigerant Phasedown under the Kigali Amendment (Webinar) - 05.09.2018 The IEA estimates that by 2050 energy demand from space cooling will triple. Entering into force in 2019, the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol seeks to reduce the global warming impacts of air conditioners and refrigerators through reducing the use of refrigerants with strong global warming effects. Such a shift in refrigerant offers a great opportunity for energy efficiency improvements during appliance re-engineering. In this webinar, the World Wide Fund for Nature, the&nbsp…
• Tools 8 June 2017 CommONEnergy Economic Assessment Tool The economic assessment tool allows estimating the energy saving potential and economic benefits of retrofitting shopping centers. The tool targets managers and owners and allows entering relevant information about their centre. It provides quick information on the energy consumption and options to reduce energy demand, CO2-emissions, environmental impacts and provides an economic assessment of the investments. It can be applied for shopping centres located in the EU and Norway…
