• Webinar & E-Learning 23 May 2019 Cooling your home: How to connect residential buildings to district cooling? (Webinar) - 29.05.2019 Demand for space cooling is set to rise to 30% of buildings’ electricity demand by 2050 with nearly 70% of the increase coming from the residential sector (IEA, The Future of Cooling, 2018). In both developed and developing countries, such cooling demand will bring numerous benefits to the economy and our health, but will have profound impacts on the environment and power system unless we shift from business-as-usual technologies. Governments around the world are turning to district cooling to…
• Webinar & E-Learning 16 April 2019 El marco habilitante para la promoción de la Eficiencia Energética en el sector residencial de Latinoamérica (Webinar) - 30.04.2019 Entre este webinar se presenta un enfoque teórico para analizar los resultados alcanzados por las políticas energéticas, bajo el cual se reconoce que existen distintas dimensiones: los instrumentos, las barreras específicas y las condiciones de entorno o habilitantes. Estas condiciones son el contexto nacional e internacional en el cual se aplican las políticas de Eficiencia Energética, es decir, todas las condiciones institucionales, regulatorias, económicas y políticas favorables para…
• 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…
• 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 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 11 March 2016 Zero Energy Ready Home Database with award-winning homes that are independently certified to meet DOE Zero Energy Ready Home guidelines and constructed by a select group of top builders. Zero Energy Ready Home is part of the U.S. Department of Energy's Better Buildings initiative. Better Buildings aims to make commercial, industrial, public, and residential buildings 20 percent more energy efficient over the next decade.
• Tools 19 January 2016 Typology Approach for Building Stock Energy Assessment The TABULA WebTool has been developed within the framework of the Intelligent Energy Europe projects TABULA and EPISCOPE.The objective is to disseminate the general idea of national residential building typologies to building experts from European countries and to give them an understanding of the concrete implementation according to the TABULA concept http://www.episcope.eu/building-typology/:The division of residential building stocks in size and age classes;Data of exemplary buildings:…
