RT null T1 District Energy in Cities: Unlocking the Potential of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy A1 United Nations Environment Programme, K1 green economy K1 energy K1 energy efficiency K1 greenhouse gas emission K1 heating K1 renewable energy YR 2015 FD 2015 LK https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/9317 UL https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/9317 NO This publication is among the first to provide concrete policy, finance and technology best practice guidance on addressing the heating and cooling sectors in cities through energy efficiency improvements and the integration of renewables. The report is also the first to consolidate data on the multiple benefits that cities, countries and regions have achieved through the use of modern district energy, in an effort to support evidence-based policy recommendations and to raise awareness of the significance of the heating and cooling sectors, which have been insufficiently addressed in the climate and energy debate.
