• Webinar & E-Learning 11 December 2018 Global Growth Potential of Energy Efficient Data Centres (Webinar) - 11.12.2018 Data centres are among the most complex and energy-demanding facilities in the world. Currently, the world's data centres consumed 3% of global electricity with a growth project to 20% by 2025. These power hungry data centres are now responsible for 2% of global CO2 emissions, a similar share of the entire aviation industry. This value potentially will escalate to 14% by 2040. The economic and environmental ramifications of continued data centre growth provide the rationale for exploring more…
• Webinar & E-Learning 18 October 2017 Clean Energy for All Europeans Package: Does the Commission Modelling Assign the Right Role to Energy Efficiency and to Renewables? (Webinar) - 19.10.2017 The Clean Energy for all Europeans package is the first opportunity for Europe to align its domestic energy and climate targets with the ratified Paris Climate Agreement and the ratified Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, the Commission’s modelling methodology and results do not reflect well the ratified international agreements and significantly overestimate the cost of energy transition. A recent discussion paper by Agora Energiewende highlights areas of improvement of…
• Webinar & E-Learning 29 May 2017 Energy and Emissions: Mapping the Impacts (Webinar) - 23.05.2017 This BEA webinar is demonstrating how to measure the potential sustainability impacts of city policies and projects. Speakers are discussing how to find the estimated emissions reductions from policies intended for, or unrelated to, climate mitigation. Linkages between emissions impacts and other factors, such as city health and cost savings are being discussed and mapped. Examples from city case studies and the buildings sector are being discussed with opportunities for participants…
• Webinar & E-Learning 14 November 2016 Renovating Buildings with Cost-Effective Reductions in Energy and Carbon Emissions – Findings from IEA EBC Annex 56 (Webinar) - 08.11.2016 This webinar provides a chance to learn about the investigation and findings from the International Energy Agency (IEA) Energy in Buildings and Community (EBC) Annex 56 project. Topics include investigating how far it is possible to go with energy conservation and efficiency measures, and when to start using renewable energy produced on site for the cost-effective renovation of the existing building stock with a nearly-zero energy and emissions target. The Webinar participants will discuss: …
• 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…
