World Bank launches Guide for energy efficiency for buildings and cities
The World Bank recently launched six guides in support of the integration of energy efficiency in urban planning and local strategies. The aim is to help the cities to increase energy security, save more energy, reduce costs with gas emissions and improve the municipal services.The guides were developed by the management assistance program (ESMAP) of the Energy Sector. The guides are set out in guidelines for the improvement of the energy performance of buildings, design and construction techniques, measures for optimisation of buildings and replacement of equipment with high energy consumption."Cities need to make difficult decisions at the level of the investments. Therefore, it is important to go back to the beginning and see where are the opportunities, what are the measures that offer the greatest potential for improving energy efficiency, to which sectors should be given priority and what are the barriers to implementation ", indicates Anita George, Director of Energy and Global Extractives Practice, CITES World Bank buildings and energy.ESMAP's guides are still guidelines on integration of energy efficiency in matters of financing, acquisitions, transportation and urban planning.Foto: tiexano/Creative Commons
