Nearly half of the world population lives in urban areas and this ratio is expected to grow. In order to achieve Sustainable Development, building sustainable cities is indispensable. Sustainable cities should consider the three pillars of sustainable development, i.e. sustainable cities should be economically productive, environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive. Also, they may have to be resilient to climate change and natural disasters.

Currently various activities to build sustainable cities have been taking place around the world. “FutureCity” Initiative, promoted by the Government of Japan, for an example, is trying to realize human-centred cities that create new values to resolve the challenges of the environment and super aging. As committed in the “Tohoku Smart Community Initiative towards the reconstruction of the Disaster-affected Areas” at the International Energy Seminar in Fukushima in March, people suffered from the Great East Japan Earthquake are trying to rebuild resilient communities utilizing recent development of technologies such as renewable energy.

Desirable future cities may consist in following elements: human-centred cities focusing on each individual including women, children, and the elderly; green (low-carbon) cities with advanced environmental technologies such as renewable energy, energy-saving technology, eco-buildings; smart cities equipped with smart basic infrastructure, such as smart grids; sound material-cycle cities working on sustainable consumption and production including 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle);and resilient cities against natural disasters and climate change.

At the end of this event, GOJ with its partners will launch the initiative of the “Future Cities We Want’’. The initiative will envisage providing the platform for cooperation with national and local government, international organisation, and civil society. A special meeting to deepen the initiative will be announced.

This side event aims

To formulate common concepts of ‘’Future Cities’’;
To establish a platform coordinating existing frameworks;
To build an international network of local governments and city leaders, and bridge the gap between them and international fora;
To propose a mechanism mobilizing resources including private financial resources especially in the developing countries; and
To promote regional cooperation for knowledge sharing, accumulating experiences, and transffering technologies.

Buildings belong to the most basic of human needs, along with food, water and healthcare. The more an economy develops, the more people spend time within buildings (up to 90% of their time in developed countries).

The building sector has major impacts on the environment. It accounts for one-third of global energy demand and for a large portion (about one-quarter) of greenhouse gas emissions in all economies. Additionally, through improved energy efficiency in their design and management, buildings present the largest and most cost-effective potential for energy savings and greenhouse gases emission reductions.

Energy efficient buildings will also be a key tool for climate change adaptation and for a variety of other sustainable development issues, including energy security, poverty alleviation, water supply and management, and health.

Unfortunately, the building sector has not yet received the focus it deserves in high-level political agendas and policy-making. In developing countries, where the rate of new construction is high, efforts should aim at quickly reaching high standards of efficiency in new buildings. In developed countries, building energy refurbishment needs to be harnessed rapidly and efficiently.

UNDP and IEA are working together to assess the lessons-learned from UNDP’s extensive portfolio of Global Environment Facility (GEF) energy efficiency buildings and appliances projects, spanning more than 50 countries over the past 20 years, and to identify recommendations for future work in this field.

The United Nations Development Programme and the International Energy Agency will jointly present their findings and recommendations to encourage policy makers to systematically mainstream energy efficiency and low-carbon solutions in building construction and management as well as in city planning.

11 June 2012 (Rome, Italy)

The IEA Sustainable Buildings Centre is developing a bottom-up model to assess the impact of implementing buildings energy efficiency policies in terms of energy savings, CO2 emissions reductions, implementation costs and economic benefits at the country and end-users level.

At this meeting, we seek your expertise to discuss policy scenarios, modelling methodologies and data quality. We would also like to collaborate with you on knowledge sharing, data calibration and indicators harmonization. The resulting model will present its assumptions, parameters and data used in a transparent way.

6- 7 June 2012 (IEA Headquarters, Paris)

The International Energy Agency is pleased to host a two-day Energy Efficiency Indicators Workshop. The workshop will be held at the IEA headquarters in Paris, France, on 6 and 7 June, 2012.

Countries around the world are increasingly aware of the urgent need to transform the way we use energy. Worries over energy security, the social and economic impacts of high energy prices and growing concerns about climate change are leading many countries to put greater emphasis on developing policies and measures that promote energy efficiency, which is often the most cost-effective and readily available means of addressing all these issues together.

But how can countries ensure that such policies are well targeted and based on best practices? One key tool is to build and maintain a set of well-founded indicators that track changes in energy use and efficiency. Energy efficiency indicators are powerful tools that can be used to better inform the policy process. As such, they can help decision makers develop policies that are best suited to meet domestic and/or international policy objectives. As monitoring and reporting tools, they also can be used to evaluate progress and identify the need to adjust existing policies or introduce new ones.

The purpose of this workshop is to share information about best practices relating to indicators development and their use from a policy-making, analytical and statistical point of view. All aspects of energy efficiency indicators, from using the basic available statistics as a foundation to the development and assessment of efficiency-related policies will be discussed.

The workshop constitutes a unique forum that will bring together policy makers, analysts and statisticians from all around the world to discuss and share experiences on the following topics:

How are indicators currently being used to support good policy-making and evaluate policy success?
Have indicators become central tools and a must in energy efficiency policies?
How different indicators can be used?
What are the appropriate indicators to be used in different countries and context?
What are the challenges associated with the development, analysis and use of indicators?
How can indicators be further improved and made more visible?

The workshop will be relevant for all parties in both IEA Member and non-Member countries interested in energy efficiency. The workshop has an aim of having a balanced attendance of policy makers, analysts and statisticians.

16 March 2012 (IEA Headquarters, Paris)

The aim of the workshop, co-organised by the IEA and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), is to discuss the current buildings energy efficiency policies and their effective implementation. The objective is to better understand the policy levers that will overcome the barriers faced by local authorities in implementing buildings energy efficiency policies.

The IEA and WBCSD proposals to overcome those barriers include:

Adopting a holistic approach to deliver value by capitalising on the interdependency of the building components;
Making energy in buildings more valued by developing long-term incentive schemes, new commercial relationships and financial mechanisms, and providing clearer information about building energy performance; and
Training building professionals and users to encourage behaviours that will respond more readily to market opportunities and signals and maximise the potential of existing technologies and innovations.

This workshop is part of the IEA-WBCSD collaborative effort in cutting energy use in the buildings sector.

Buildings Energy Efficiency Policies: The European Policy Package

In the framework of the IEA-Russian Energy Agency MOU signed at the IEA Ministerial in October 2011 the IEA is working jointly with the Russian Energy Agency on a report focussed on enhancing energy efficiency in buildings in the Russia based on IEA member country best practices and lessons learned to date. This Report is to be finalized in Fall 2012. This Round Table meeting served as an important input to this process where experts could share their insights and understanding of the challenges faced in Russia in enhancing energy efficiency in the building sector and learn from the experience of IEA member countries with particular focus on the EU Directives in this area.

The Round Table was very timely given the focus in Russia on building energy codes and the implementation of energy efficiency policies in the residential sector. There was much discussion about the voluntary nature of building energy codes in Russia and the implementation challenges at the sub-national/regional and municipal level.

The Round Table was made possible with the support of the IEA’s Training and Capacity Building Center (TCB) together with the Russian Energy Agency.

About 35 participants took part over the round table including from various departments of the Russian Energy Agency, Ministry of Energy, UNDP, FESCO, Green Business Council, relevant Institutes and residential/building centers.

Background and Scope for Building Envelope

The IEA is organising a series of workshops on buildings energy efficiency policies and technologies in different geographical regions to enable a deeper understanding of the regional particularities of the buildings sector in terms of policies and technologies.

The IEA workshops bring together policy makers, technical experts, industry and analysts from both the IEA member and the non-member countries. The aim of the IEA workshops on buildings energy efficiency policies and technologies is to:

share proven energy efficiency policy practices with experts on buildings energy policies;
share information on existing buildings and equipment, as well as forthcoming efficient and low-carbon technologies and low buildings energy policies ;
better understand the trends in efficient technologies for buildings; and
better understand building stock and energy consumption trends.

The first workshop of this series was held in Paris and was hosted by Deloitte Finance (Neuilly Sur Seine). It was held on November 17 and 18, 2011

Subsequent workshops will be held in other regions.

The outcomes of these workshops will feed into the IEA publications on buildings energy efficiency policies and technologies.

This workshop was being held in conjunction with the series of Policy Pathway publications. The Policy Pathways provide details and guidance to policy makers and relevant stakeholders on the essential steps needed to successfully implement policies that reflect the IEA 25 Energy Efficiency Policy Recommendations. Based on direct experience, published research and expert workshops, the Pathways also provide insight into the types of policies adapted to the specific policy context(s) of different countries, so that each country derives the maximum benefit from energy efficiency improvements. Ultimately the Policy Pathway Publications aim to support countries in their endeavours to achieve greater energy efficiency improvements.

This particular pathway focuses on policies to improve the energy performance of windows and glazed areas. It is based on the analyses of lessons learned from the implementation of existing policies for windows, as well as planned policies in IEA and non-IEA member countries. It documents the elements, steps and milestones (the pathway) necessary to successfully implement policies for more efficient windows. Its aim is to help countries implement effective programmes within the context of their national policy frameworks by offering advice and opportunities to benefit from the experience of others.

The phase-out of inefficient lighting has been widely acclaimed as one of the most important short term initiatives in combating climate change.

Phase-Out 2008 is an international forum for key stakeholders to meet and exchange information on the initiatives taking place around the globe. It is an opportunity to share experience and lessons learned, consider key challenges to the phase-out and implications for industry, and identify how the move towards efficient lighting can benefit from co-operation at the regional and international level.

Workshop initiated by the Australian Government, co-hosted by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), IEA and the China Association of Lighting Industries (CALI).

Workshop programme

2 April 2008 (New Delhi, India)

Regular international conferences on Standby Power have helped to keep the issue at the forefront of national energy efficiency strategies and stimulate co-ordination amongst countries.

As a result, follow-up processes to the G8, APP, APEC and CSD Marrakech accord have all called on Governments to make a greater commitment to the IEA 1-Watt standby target and other programs to tackle standby power.

Since the last conference in Canberra in 2006, several major initiatives and policies have been launched - and new studies of standby power reveal whether progress is being made. The 2008 Conference, featuring a selection of speakers from around the world and from India, provides an opportunity to share information about:

Asia-Pacific Partnership Projects underway to tackle standby power;
National and International trends in standby power consumption;
Proposals for policies to address Standby Power in India;
Recent national policy developments and future proposals;
Developments in the standby power test procedure, IEC 62301.

Participation is free but please book early, as there are a limited number of places available at the workshop. The procedure on how to register will be forthcoming shortly.

The workshop was co-organised by the IEA and Bureau of Energy Efficiency.

Avoiding Lost Opportunities in Energy Efficiency

Many policies now exist, both mandatory and voluntary, for improving energy efficiency and minimising greenhouse gas emissions, but there is frequently a gap between expectations of what such policies will achieve and their actual impacts. This gap represents a substantial lost opportunity to maximise saved energy, reduce the cost of energy services and greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance energy security.

This workshop, co-sponsored by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the International Task Force for Sustainable Products (ITFSP), seeks to bring together public and private sector stakeholders to share information on effective frameworks for compliance, monitoring and evaluation in relation to energy efficiency measures.

The workshop will open and close with plenary sessions that address common themes and concerns relating to compliance and evaluation. In between these sessions, three parallel working groups will convene to focus on particular issues associated with:

Energy Efficiency in the Buildings Sector;
Energy Efficiency in the Equipment and Appliances Sector; and
Evaluating Energy Efficiency Measures.

Mr. Peter Taylor and Mr. Michel Francoeur, IEA

At their 2005 Gleneagles Summit the G8 leaders asked the IEA to provide advice on a clean, clever and competitive energy future. As part of its response, the IEA is developing in-depth indicators to provide state-of-the-art data and analysis on energy use and efficiency developments, which can better inform policy-making. The new IEA indicator publication, Energy Use in the New Millennium: Trends in IEA countries (to be launched 10 September 2007), examines how changes in energy efficiency and other factors have affected recent trends in energy use and carbon dioxide emissions. The analysis also highlights the need for further work to develop better energy indicators and data across all end-use sectors. The purpose of this workshop is to discuss what new indicators and data are needed to support energy efficiency policy for buildings and appliances and to inform and guide the future development of the IEA’s indicators work in these areas.
