• 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…
• Podcast 10 September 2019 Derisking investments into green buildings Problem: Energy efficiency is becoming more and more recognised as a cost-effective mitigation measure for achieving the Paris Agreement and SDGs, however, it is considered a not very tangible, not too sexy, relatively fragmented and small-scale efforts. The question that many actors are facing in the field is to how to bring the scale to Energy Efficiency on the local, national and global level. Key message: Derisking buildings through green mortgages can help to bring scale to energy…
• Webinar & E-Learning 6 September 2019 MRV for District Energy Systems (Webinar) – 06.09.2019 District heating and district cooling, also known as district energy systems, is a crucial technical solution for clean and liveable cities. The UN Environment, together with many other partners, is providing technical support to a dozen countries in their efforts for district energy development. How to measure and report the energy, climate change mitigation, and other social and economic benefits of these projects is a common challenge faced by many countries and cities. This webinar will…
• 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 28 April 2017 Standards to Achieve City Sustainability (Webinar) - 26/27.04.2017 This BEA webinar engages participants on how to use tools and standards to improve city sustainability. Participants learn about how to create a greenhouse gas inventory to benchmark and track city emissions reductions with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol for Cities, how to estimate the potential emissions from city projects and policies with the GHG Protocol Policy and Action Standard, and how to set ambitious targets for cities with the Mitigation Goal Standard. The webinar…

• Tools 26 August 2016 Tool for Building Energy Performance Scenarios This tool enables you to interactively engage with modelled data for three possible energy mitigation scenarios for the building sector, globally and per region, by 2050. To facilitate a rapid transition to sustainable energy in the building sector, GBPN supports a deep path of ambitious policy actions based on the deep energy scenario in which state of the art in both new and existing buildings become the norm in only ten years from now. With this tool you can find out where the world…
