Expand use of Energy Labelling Schemes Increase awareness of total cost
of ownership Applicable for:
- Appliances: e.g. SEER rating of Air conditioning in US
- Domestic buildings: e.g. Energy Performance Certificates in UK
- Public & Commercial buildings: e.g. Energy Conservation Building Codes in India
Support by legislation:- Continuous improvement- Tax- Incentives and subsidies

Remove barriers to Energy Service Companies – ESCOs ESCO can become a vehicle to
drive energy savings in buildings and companies
Today, accounting rule technicalities limit the expansion of ESCOs
Change ESCO regulations to make accounting practices more ESCO-friendly

Infrastructure district energy: The heating/cooling ”Smart Grids”
By far the most efficient form of energy distribution
Significantly under-penetrated, - even in Europe!
Provides infrastructure (back-bone) for diverse energy sources:- Waste heat- Biomass and waste incineration- Solar - Geo-Thermal - Thermal buffer- …- …
