- Webinar & E-Learning 20 July 2021 ESCO Accreditation Experience Around the World (Webinar) - 11.05.2021 An Energy Service Company (ESCO) accreditation process can be implemented in an Energy Efficiency (EE) market to assess and accredit all companies wishing to operate as ESCOs and implement contracts that include performance conditions. Accreditation provides recognition of a firm’s competence in fulfilling certain standards of performance and is based on a review of certain of its activities but not all. Indeed, accreditation is quite different from certification guaranteeing the an…
- News 9 July 2021 Pilot studies of transformational impact show the extent of climate policy ambition Four pilot cases have showed how looking at climate action policies through a Transformational Change lens can yield new insights into what works and why. The four cases cover different levels, sectors and stakeholders, and have used a new methodology, developed by UNEP DTU Partnership experts, to assess both new and emerging climate policies. The Transformational Change Methodology is a stepwise approach to determine the extent to which a policy is truly transformational in terms of delivering…
- News 1 July 2021 New Danish district heating cooperation will help China achieve its climate goals China is not only the world's most populous nation, but also the largest CO2 emitter. The large CO2 emissions and air pollution challenges are a strong driving force for China in terms of switching to a greener energy system. The vast majority of energy used in heating buildings in China today comes from coal. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), China has the world's largest district heating network, and it is estimated that there is a huge potential for green heating to more…
- Event 30 June 2021 Measurement & Verification: at the Core of Energy Performance Contracting The energy performance contracting (EPC) business model, implemented by energy services companies (ESCO), has long been identified as a method to deliver the large-scale implementation of energy efficiency (EE) projects. Establishing the performance of energy efficiency projects may be challenging. Hence the need to rely on measurement and verification (M&V) activities. This webinar will discuss how the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) plays a key role…
- News 29 June 2021 Join the webinar - Incorporating Energy Service Companies in Nationally Determined Contributions Webinar, July 7, 2 - 3 PM CEST Since the global climate change agenda first dawned, energy efficiency has held out the promise of the most cost-efficient options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It practice, it has delivered poorly on that promise, as recorded evidence from practically all frameworks emerging from the climate change negotiations have shown. Why is that – and can The Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) under the Paris Agreement finally change the outlooks? Frauke…
- Webinar & E-Learning 28 June 2021 Energy mapping and data collection to identify long-term opportunities for district energy systems (Webinar) - 17.06.2021 This webinar presents the background of energy mapping and data collection needed, including: The role of energy mapping in district energy planning Characterization of main types of energy mappings in district energy development Key steps in the development of energy mapping across various levels of detail Best case practices, strengths and limitations Lessons learned & recommendations Q&A Session Q: “Regarding calculating the number of floors from building heights: Does modelling…
- Webinar & E-Learning 23 June 2021 Policies and investment on energy efficient lighting: models for success (Webinar) – 22.06.2021 Lighting, appliances and equipment account for more than 50% of total global electricity demand which is expected to more than double by 2050 in developing countries. However, energy-efficient lighting, appliances and equipment can save energy, emissions and in all global regions more than $60 Billion annually. Right energy efficiency policies can represent 40% of the emissions reductions to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. However, this potential is not being grasped and investment in…
- Webinar & E-Learning 21 June 2021 Skills and knowledge gap assessment in the EEB Sector in Argentina (Webinar) - 28.04.2021 This webinar presents the process and results of the “Assessment of Skills and Knowledge Gap in Energy Efficiency in Buildings (EEB)”, developed in Argentina during the past year. Through a brief exposition, the main findings and the perspective of stakeholders, mainly from the education sector, but also from the government and the private sector will be depicted. Likewise, proposals to address and mitigate the gap and to develop lines of action to expand EEB in Argentina, will be presented.
