Integrating energy efficiency can also contribute to improving municipal services and increasing competitiveness, making cities more inclusive and sustainable. To help cities tap this potential, ESMAP has released a new series of guidance notes to help city leaders integrate energy efficiency options into their planning, as well as design and implement successful programs. The notes focus on six key topics: procurement, financing, buildings, transport, assessments, and urban planning.
