The Assessment Tool for Building Efficiency Policies provides a simple framework to help policymakers get started with designing a policy strategy that will achieve transformation of the built environment.
The tool provides a framework for structuring discussions in a workshop setting with key stakeholders from across the building efficiency market, including government, civil society, and the private sector. Stakeholders that might be involved include local government agencies and bodies, other levels of government where relevant, architecture and engineering firms, energy service companies, manufacturers, energy service providers, financial institutions, real estate management companies, and non-governmental and community organizations. The recommended workshop agenda includes three activities—visioning, assessment, and action planning.
