4、hting, cooking, water heating, refrigerating, and operating electric and mechanical devices. Global energy use in buildings is expected to grow as cities in developing countries continue to modernize and per capita income levels continue to increase.Because of their high energy consumption, resident
5、ial, public, and commercial buildings also offer unparalleled opportunities for energy savings. According to the International Energy Agency, buildings account for some 41 percent of global energy savings potential by 2035, compared with the industrial sector (24 percent) and the transport sector (2
6、1 percent).1This guidance note outlines how cities can tap into a wide array of proven technologies, policies, and financing mechanisms to improve energy efficiency and capture cost-effective energy savings in buildings. It offers city leaders advice on how to get started in introducing energy effic
7、iency measures, and provides lessons and examples from successful programs that have been introduced worldwide.There are three primary ways in which energy efficiency can be improved in residential, public, and commercial buildings:1 | Through improved design and construction techniques that reduce

9、l-designed and well- constructed new buildings represent the best opportunity for reducing heating, cooling, ventilating, and lighting loads. The most effective way to ensure that energy efficiency is factored into the design and construction process is by introducing and enforcing Building Energy E
10、fficiency Codes. A building energy efficiency code sets out the minimum energy efficiency requirements of a building, including the thermal performance of a buildings “envelope” and the energy efficiency standards of its internal equipment and devices.By retrofitting existing buildings. Retrofitting
11、 existing buildings and replacing energy-consuming equipment are critical for improving energy efficiency in cities where building stock turnover is low. Cities need to be opportunistic in order to capture this potential by incentivizing and/or requiring energy efficiency upgrades as part of all sig

For this to happen, an enabling environment and effective project financing and delivery mechanisms must be in place.By establishing and maintaining energy management systems.

These include the high cost o

Overcoming these barriers requires strong commitment and leadership from city authorities as well as a willingness to work closely with national and regional governments, building and home-owners, developers, financiers, the building trades and industries,
