Download or read book Promoting Energy Efficiency Investments written by International Energy Agency and published by OECD. This book was released on 2008 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing buildings are responsible for over 40% of the worlds total primary energy consumption. An impressive amount of energy could be saved simply by applying energy-efficient technologies. Yet, various market barriers inhibit energy efficiency improvements in existing buildings and result in energy savings that are significantly lower than potentials. This publication provides illustrations of policies and measures implemented in five IEA member countries and the European Union. Each case includes relevant background and contextual information, as well as a detailed evaluation of each policy according to five pre-defined criteria: relevance, effectiveness, flexibility, clarity and sustainability.

Download or read book Guide for the Promotion of Energy Efficiency and Energy Conservation Regulations in Economies in Transition written by United Nations. Economic Commission for Europe and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper comes from a project designed to assist central and eastern Europe and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries to enhance their energy efficiency and security, to ease the energy supply constraints of economic transition and to meet international environmental treaty obligations under the UN FCCC and the UN ECE. Reducing the energy efficiency 'gap' by half would save 600 million tones of oil equivalent in year 2010 of which 90 per cent would be fossil fuels. Central and Eastern European economies are half as efficient as those of market economies. This paper, which was produced jointly by the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE), aims to provide some suggestions for policy makers in the CIS for development of policies and regulatory frameworks for promotion of energy efficiency. The guidelines presented have been discussed and endorsed by the ECE Committee on Sustainable Development at its ninth session, 9-11 November 1999. The impetus for the guidelines was a recommendation made at a 1996 regional seminar on promotion of energy efficiency and institution building in Asian economies in transition conducted by ESCAP with participation by ECE.

Download or read book Energy Efficiency Financing and Market Based Instruments written by Yang Liu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to investigating the policy design and effectiveness of financial and market-based instruments to promote energy efficiency financing. The concept of this monograph is to present the latest results related to energy efficiency funding schemes, energy efficiency obligations, voluntary agreements, auction mechanisms, and Super Energy Services Companies (Super ESCOs) in major jurisdictions across the world. The book focuses on financial and market-based instruments as they deliver a price signal, which provides an incentive for firms to invest in innovation or implement more energy-efficient technologies and deliver energy savings while minimizing costs. Such instruments can have significant advantages for the government, supporting the fiscal sustainability of the government’s energy efficiency efforts, requiring less enforcement than regulation and according the market flexibility to select the most cost-efficient technologies. This book is highly recommended to researchers, policy experts, and business specialists who seek an in-depth and up-to-date integrated overview of energy efficiency financing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising energy prices and concerns about the environment have fueled interest in "green building" -- resource-efficient construction and maintenance practices that reduce adverse impacts on the natural environment. HUD spends an estimated $5 billion on energy costs annually in its affordable housing programs and has recently taken steps to reduce its energy costs. This report reviews: (1) HUD's efforts to promote energy efficiency in its programs and the use of performance measures; (2) potential costs and long-term benefits of green building in HUD's affordable housing programs; and (3) lessons learned elsewhere that HUD could use to promote green building. Includes recommendations. Illustrations.
