Implementation of Energy Strategies in Communities – The Concept For Energy / GHG reduction measures, decision making is moving: from the single building to the neighbourhood, city or community from the building owner to multiple parties (city hall, utilities, public, developers, etc)

And this requires: coordination of individual planning & organisational methods to maximise the benefit to the whole in particular those assumptions and activities for land-use and energy infrastructure planning integration of energy and urban planning

Actions Status Quo – comparison of the participating countries Conceptualising of the problems (themes) involved in energy efficient developments Assessment of measures attempted in partner countries to address the issue Categorisation of these measures according to the themes into key Strategic Measures Analysis of the Strategic Measures to identify actions

Measures VISION & TARGETS LEGAL FRAMEWORKS DESIGN COMPETITIONS STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT Help guide planning process, early & broad acceptance needed Analyse & use frameworks to support shared decision making Build climate & energy into competition criteria, can help advance energy targets Pursue 2-way information exchange to build consensus, improve project, & support implementation

Measures RENEWABLE ENERGY STRATEGIES DECISION SUPPORT TOOLS MONITORING SOCIO-ECONOMIC BENEFITS ORGANISATIONAL PROCESSES Early analysis & integration of multiple benefits at project & planning scales Process should account for different spatial and institutional scales, disciplines, and values Develop strategies to align with vision & targets, informed by stakeholders, using multiple tools Integrate data sources, conduct analysis, & explore scenarios Monitor at multiple scales, establishing initial baseline and progress toward Targets
