Energy Efficient Solutions for Cities

Sao Paulo,  Brazil 
Cities are an important engine for economic growth and socioeconomic development.  By 2030, almost 5 Billion (about 60 percent of the global population) will live in cities, leading to massive requirements for energy to power growth and expand basic infrastructure. Energy efficiency can offer practical solutions to budget-constrained cities to meet their energy needs without sacrificing their development priorities. 

This is because energy efficient activities are generally cost-effective; that is, higher upfront investment for a more efficient system is offset by lower recurring energy costs. 

U.S. Department of Energy

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) advances building energy performance through the development and promotion of efficient, affordable, and high impact technologies, systems, and practices. The long-term goal of the Building Technologies Office is to reduce energy use by 50%, compared to a 2010 baseline. To secure these savings, research, development, demonstration, and deployment of next-generation building technologies are needed to advance building systems and components that are cost-competitive in the market. DOE develops, demonstrates, and deploys a suite of cost‐effective technologies, tools, solutions, best practices, and case studies to support energy efficiency improvements in commercial buildings. DOE also spearheads the Better Buildings Challenge, a public-private partnership committed to a 20% reduction in commercial building energy use by 2020.
