An Introduction to the SEforALL Building Efficiency Accelerator Belgrade BEA Kick-off Meeting – 31 October 2016 Eric Mackres, emackres@wri.org Manager, Building Efficiency, WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities
UN Sustainable Energy for All One Goal: Achieving Sustainable Energy for All by 2030 Three Objectives:
Energy Efficiency Accelerators The Global Energy Efficiency Accelerator Platform was established to support specific sector-based energy efficiency accelerators Appli liances s & Equipment Lighting Lig Vehicle Fue Fuel Effic icie iency Global market transformation to Global market transformation Improve the fuel economy to efficient lighting capacity of the global car fleet efficient appliances & equipment Bu Build ildings Ind Industry ry Distric Di ict Ene Energy Implementing Promote sustainable building Support national & municipal Energy Management Systems, policies & practices worldwide governments to develop or scale-up district energy systems technologies & practices Power Sector Accelerator is under development
Why is building efficiency important? Long-lasting implications: Large potential: Large impact: • Buildings last for 30-50 • • Global building energy Buildings consume years or more . Poor demand can be reduced nearly one-third of choices today can lock-in by one-third by 2050 , if energy demand and high costs, carbon known EE best-practices account for about one- emissions, and poor are implemented on a fourth of GHG urban services large scale across regions emissions globally Multiple benefits: Economic Social Environmental Cost-effective Energy access, GHG emissions opportunities : Reliability, reduction, each additional Security of energy Sustainable $1 spent on EE supply, building avoids more than Health & materials, $2, on average, in productivity Water energy supply improvement, conservation, investments Job creation Climate resilience
Building efficiency Is the most cost-effective emissions reduction strategy… Note: �Lo� �ost� e�issio� �edu�tio�s = �a��o� p�i�e <20 U“$/tCO 2 - e�. �Mediu� �ost� = <50 US$/tCO 2 - e�. �High �ost� = <100 US$/tCO 2 -eq.

What are cities signing up to do? Overarching commitment: double the rate of building energy efficiency by 2030 in targeted sector within the jurisdiction Create a baseline, track and report annual Implement one Implement one progress, and share enabling policy demonstration project experiences with other governments Tracking & Policy Project communication
What does the BEA provide? Collaborative, multi-stakeholder Local action assessments and workshops to define and prioritization process prioritize policies and projects Technical support through trainings, tools. Tools, expertise and Access to network of subject matter solutions experts and service providers. Connect projects in need to financial partners who can provide funding to Funding opportunities efficiency actions International Recognition of efficiency actions at recognition and international events. Knowledge sharing collaboration through a global network of peers.
NEW REPORT ACCELERATING BUILDING EFFICIENCY: EIGHT ACTIONS FOR URBAN LEADERS Efficient buildings are essential for sustainable cities; local action is critical • Why – economic, environmental and social benefits to cities • What – 8 city-level action areas to improve building efficiency • How – building lifecycle, stakeholders to engage, process for taking action Interactive and PDF versions available wri.org/buildingefficiency
Topics of BEA support to jurisdictions: 8 city-level actions to improve building efficiency • Building energy codes and product standards establish POLICY & PROGRAM 1. CODES & STANDARDS minimum requirements for energy performance. MECHANISMS • Targets to align interests and spur action to improve 2. TARGETS efficiency in the building sector. 3. PERFORMANCE INFO & • Data, baselines, disclosure and certifications for market CERTIFICATIONS differentiation of building performance or attributes. • Programs and incentives to provide funding to building 4. INCENTIVES & FINANCE efficiency improvements. 5. GOVERNMENT • Programs to support government efficiency, including public LEADERSHIP BY EXAMPLE building retrofits and innovative procurement. STAKEHOLDER STRATEGIES 6. BUILDING OWNER & • Building design, construction, operations, occupant OCCUPANT ACTIONS behavior. 7. TECHNICAL & • Market development and skilled workforce for private FINANCIAL SERVICES providers of building construction, services & equipment • Planning and programs by utility companies for energy 8. WORKING WITH UTILITIES efficiency improvement. Source: WRI. 2016. Accelerating Building Efficiency: Eight Actions for Urban Leaders.
Deep Dive Case Study: Mexico City • September 2014 commitment from Me�i�o Cit� go��t to: – Implement a building energy code – Retrofit public buildings • Launch workshop for common vision – March 2015 – 100 multi-stakeholder participants – including city government, federal government, businesses, finance, civil society and consulting Tanya Muller, Secretary of the Environment, discussing Mexico City’s leadership actions • Action plan underway in 2016: 4 workgroups chaired by Mexico City government staff and an SE4All partner, project managed by WRI/CTS EMBARQ – Technical workshop on building retrofits and finance – Recommendations on action by government and stakeholders delivered in October; Actions announced at COP 21 in December – Program implementation phase 1: January 2016-October 2016 – In June: New energy code adopted; public building audits approved Mayor Mancera at COP21 Buildings Day
