- Webinar & E-Learning 20 July 2021 Keys to US ESCO Growth: Government Mandates and Risk Management (Webinar) - 08.06.2021 The ESCO Industry in the United States has grown from its original existence into a market size in 2017 of about $7 Billion USD. During this growth, ESCOs have grown in all market segments, but in the United States, predominantly serve the public building market such that in 2014, roughly 92% of all work was with public buildings. As the market has grown, the project sizes have grown as well, with projects for the Federal Government averaging $0.8 Million in the 1990’s to $5.5 Million and…

- Podcast 6 February 2020 Embodied carbon in construction materials - the new concern for architects Problem: Production of the currently preferred construction materials for the building industry is one of the largest sources of carbon emissions globally Key message: As buildings become increasingly energy efficient in most parts of the world, the production of the construction materials mostly used - concrete, steel and glass - become the buildings' most severe climate impact. To reduce this climate impact a rethink of the materials that go into construction is necessary.
- Webinar & E-Learning 19 December 2019 Data insights to foster the uptake of energy efficiency technologies in EU residential buildings (Webinar) – 04.12.2019 The ambitious strategy of turning EU countries into low carbon economies assumes reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 80% below the level from 1990. This target can’t be achieved without significant changes in building energy use and installed HVAC equipment. Currently 75% of buildings in EU are energy inefficient and the actual rate of renovation is not sufficient to achieve ambitious climate change mitigation targets. One of the barriers of higher and faster distribution of low carbon…

By inputting basic building characteristics and utility bill data,…
- 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…
