6. OVERALL FINDINGS AND WAY FORWARD
FOR BUILDING AND TRANSPROTATION SECTORS
CURRENT PRIORITIES AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING OPTIONS
MAJOR TECHNOLOGY RELATED BARRIERS AND OVERCOMING OPTIONS
INITIATIVES TO MAXIMIZE THE POTENTIAL OF TRANSITION INITIATIVES TO
LOWER CARBON ECONOMY
* Enhancing Energy Reduction Potential
* Road mapping and direction setting for Technological
Transformation
* Accelerated Enablers for Deployment of Energy
Efficient Technologies

7. WAY FORWARD Transitioning to LCE needs a Large Complement
of Desirable Attributes introduced into national level plans
Collective Creativity Needed at National / Local Levels
The Transition Process itself has to create new
opportunities and low cost engineering solutions
Inspiring Leadership essential to create new business
and marketing opportunities
CAETS Energy Committee is optimistic that the engineering ingenuity
existing in several countries will derive inspiration from outstanding
successes achieved in building and transportation sectors to replicate
and adapt them to achieve lower carbon energy targets
