Join us in the fourth session of the Scaling up Climate Action in Cities Virtual Workshops Series, on September 8, 2022, from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. ET.
This session will introduce citywide tools and approaches to energy efficiency in the buildings sector (residential, public and commercial), including approaches to: (a) retrofitting existing buildings, (b) updating building and energy codes, (c) promoting energy efficient affordable housing, and (d) developing sustainable district heating/cooling systems. It will also explore the costs and benefits of building certifications (e.g., BREEAM, EDGE, etc.) and a discussion on the role and involvement of private sector entities in achieving energy efficiency.
