4. 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)

5. 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

6. 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

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

10. 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
