| Summary: | For cities that want to take concrete
actions on improving energy efficiency, it is essential to
understand what, where, and how big the potential
energy-saving opportunities are, what measures are needed to
capture the savings and at what costs, what the
implementation constraints are, and how priorities should be
set given local capacity and resources. An energy efficiency
assessment can provide the necessary clarity on these
issues. Energy efficiency assessments can be done at
different depths and with varying scopes, depending on the
city's needs, capacity, and resources. The duration and
cost of the assessment depends on the quality of existing
data and the size and complexity of the sector. This
guidance note provides an introduction to the objectives,
scope, and outputs, as well as the basic steps and
approaches of conducting the three types of energy
efficiency assessments. |
