The Smart Grid: An Introduction. How a smarter grid works as an enabling engine for our economy, our environment and our future.

This paper studies the potential environmental impacts of the wide adoption of PHEVs in the context of Alberta, given the 90% share of thermal units and the growing interests in wind power developments in the province.

This is a study to review the current Cool Roof industry in terms of local expertise, best practice and policies in APEC. The objectives of this study are as follows: To compile information on the experience of APEC member economies in terms of the implementation of Cool Roofs; To characterise the energy, Greenhouse Gas (GHG) and […]

Who should use this guide This guide was developed for a range of audiences to help speed a transition to cool roofs and pavements. Some of the information included in this guide is fairly technical and will be most useful to building operators, facilities managers, transportation engineers, developers, and roofing contractors. Some of this information is […]

Abstract: This Recommended Practice provides guidance to transit agencies for quantifying their greenhouse gas emissions, including both emissions generated by transit and the potential reduction of emissions through efficiency and displacement by laying out a standard methodology for transit agencies to report their greenhouse gas emissions in a transparent, consistent and cost-effective manner.

This report was prepared by a “focus group” of representatives from CEN and CENELEC, European Standards Organizations, and European-level associations to address the multiple standards issues associated with “electro-mobility”

This report was commissioned by Tekes, The Finish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation. It was produced by NWV Market Discovery. The report evaluates electric vehicle demonstration projects currently under way and in the planning phase in the United States.

See Phase 1 here. This is the final report for Phase 2 of the APEC Cooperative Energy Efficiency Design for Sustainability (CEEDS) project, organized by the Asia Pacific Economic Research Centre (APERC). Phase 2 of CEEDS is focused on building energy codes and energy labeling for construction materials and whole buildings. Building energy codes are […]

Windows may not be as sexy as solar panels or electric cars, but they play a major role in energy efficiency. Buildings are responsible for 40% of the country’s energy use, which is why researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are trying to improve windows by making them smarter. As Berkeley Lab engineer Howdy Goudey […]

Message from the Secretary of Energy, Steven Chu: Today, our nation is at a cross road. While we have the world’s greatest innovation machine, countries around the world are moving aggressively to lead in the clean energy economy. We can either lead in the development of the clean energy economy or we can stand back […]
