• Podcast 2 December 2022 Energy Efficiency: From the Boiler Room to the Board Room Problem: Energy efficiency can enable more than 40% of the required GHG reductions to achieve global climate goals without requiring new technology breakthroughs. Improved energy efficiency has the potential to create new jobs, foster innovation, improve the productive use of electricity -i.e., cooling, clean cooking, lighting, heating, mobility, etc.- and boost economic growth. Energy efficiency is the fastest and most cost-effective way to reduce fossil fuel demand and build a cleaner and…
• Webinar & E-Learning 25 November 2022 District Energy - A Case study of Floating Office in Rotterdam (Webinar) - 06.10.2022 Floating Office Rotterdam is the largest floating office in the world. Off-grid and carbon-neutral, it floats if water levels rise due to climate change. The heat pump with surface water heat exchange is one of the innovations that showcases the building’s mission for climate change. The heat/cold generation is supplied by 2 heat pumps which are placed in the floating building’s pontoon. The pontoon consists of 15 similar prefab concrete floating boxes, with a heat-generating network of tubes…
• Tools 11 October 2021 Solar PV on municipal buildings: a guide to feasibility and financial analysis Building scale renewable energy is the most impactful action that cities can take to decarbonise their energy sector, especially with the rapidly falling costs of renewable energy technologies. City governments can move fastest by using their own underutilised rooftop space to generate electricity with solar PVs. Not only is this a cost-efficient way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality, but it can also reduce municipal reduce energy costs and generate financial…
• 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…
• Tools 27 January 2021 Street Lighting Energy Efficiency Calculator The Online Assessment Tool can support estimation and analysis of the potential energy and CO2 savings, as well as providing a straightforward cost-benefit overview for any locality, city or country based on their current street lighting technologies. The tool quantifies the energy, financial and climate-saving potentials for moving away from existing inefficient street lighting technologies to intelligently controlled and efficient LED systems. It aims to provide local government decision…
• Webinar & E-Learning 30 May 2020 Home Electricity Footprint (Webinar) The webinar “Home Electricity Footprint” was aimed at creating awareness about household electricity consumption and opportunities to reduce the same. It was organized in partnership with Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency. The webinar was started by moderator and tone of the webinar was set by Mr. Rahul Raju Dusa, senior expert-energy efficiency UNEP DTU partnership. He spoke about the work being carried out by UNEP DTU partnership and Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency and why they…
• News 14 May 2020 Mediterranean municipalities in street lighting exercise The Mediterranean local communities play a key role in the energy transition. Cities are in the best position to take actions on the ground and to meet local needs in order to address pressing challenges related to growing energy demand, the climate emergency, and the need to find innovative and efficient solutions for their citizens. The Mediterranean region is rich in renewable energy sources and has a huge potential to increase energy efficiency in areas such as street lighting, cooling and…
• Webinar & E-Learning 10 September 2019 Analysis of hydrogen fuel cell and battery efficiency (Presentation) – 27.02.2019 The transition towards a world free of carbon emissions will determine the future of this generation. The scale required for the energy transition is massive and affects every sector of the economy. Except electricity, hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources might be an alternative if cost effective and efficient production technologies can be developed. As the world accelerating its effort to reduce – and even eliminate – the use of fossil fuels from the energy sector, electric…
