    Making our iconic city skylines better for the planet

    February 20, 2017

    Through C40’s Private Building Efficiency Network, cities work together to improve the energy efficiency of existing commercial and residential buildings. In 2014 several cities, led by Tokyo, developed the report Urban Efficiency: a global survey of building energy efficiency policies in cities. The report incorporated best practices from around the world, including financial incentives, sectoral benchmarking, and building optimisation programmes into city energy plans and roadmaps. Other cities used it as an evidence base to push for the introduction of new, ambitious building energy policies or expand already successful schemes. We hope the next instalment of this report will prove just as valuable.

    C40 Joins U.S. Department of Energy Effort to Help Cities Manage Their Building Efficiency Data

    February 5, 2016

    The number of C40 cities introducing commercial building benchmarking policies has jumped from 12 in 2011 up to 30 in 2015. The reason behind this increase is simple: cities need more data on how energy is being consumed to formulate effective energy efficiency strategies. Turning this data into useful information, however, can be a daunting task, which is why C40 is pleased to join the U.S. Department of Energy’s SEED Platform Collaborative.

    City of Seattle Fosters Market Transparency through Building Energy Benchmarking

    November 17, 2015 Seattle

    The City of Seattle aims to attain carbon neutrality by 2050, and plans to reduce both commercial building energy use by 10% and residential building energy use by 20% by 2030. To support these targets and its Climate Action Plan, the City adopted the Seattle Building Energy Benchmarking and Reporting Program in January 2010, directly drawing on the expertise of cities pursuing similar policies, such as New York City, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
