Mer än 50% besparing

Med “djuprenovering” av byggnader rapporterar ACEEE från en studie i USA. Det är ju detsamma som EUs direktiv fört effektivisering (och som så grundligt fuskats bort) siktade emot. ACEEE rekommenderar för att nå dit:

Develop workforce capacity. Encourage builders to document their high-performance work to prove eligibility for program participation. Offer technical assistance to help contractors properly sequence and install deep energy retrofit measures.
Encourage better market valuation. Energy efficiency programs should collaborate with realtors and appraisers to properly value deep energy retrofit work in the real estate market.
Increase customer awareness and interest. Increase consumer knowledge about deep energy retrofits through existing energy efficiency programs. Partner with organizations that distribute information on home maintenance such as insurance companies.
Target the right customers. Community organizations can provide contact with people who are committed to environmental issues. Other good targets include the highest energy consumers.
Provide financing opportunities. Programs can sponsor financing for homeowners who incorporate energy efficiency measures into renovations, thus encouraging them to consider deep energy work. Private bank loans might also be an option if deep energy retrofits had a higher market valuation.
Measure energy performance. Programs should monitor actual post-retrofit energy use to evaluate individual measures and entire projects.
Develop a strategy for program development and evolution. Utilities interested in deep energy retrofits should begin with a pilot, robustly evaluate initial results, and use this solid foundation to build a full-scale program.

Något att tänka på Energimyndigheten och Boverket? wink

Klandra inte spegeln om Du inte gillar bilden

Då och då kommer det kraftig kritik mot de energiscenarier som till exempel IEA publicerar i sina årliga skrifter. Som senast den här från en organisation som heter Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) och har skrivit en rapport med det klatschiga namnet “Off Track”.

The International Energy Agency has wrongly guided governments into decisions about oil, gas and coal use that are inconsistent with the long-term climate objectives of the Paris Agreement

Men är det sant? Är det IEA som vilseleder? Så här förklarar IEA hur scenarierna konstrueras (jämför med bild nedan)

- New Policies Scenario of the World Energy Outlook broadly serves as the IEA baseline scenario. It takes account of broad policy commitments and plans that have been announced by countries, including national pledges to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and plans to phase out fossil-energy subsidies, even if the measures to implement these commitments have yet to be identified or announced.

- Current Policies Scenario assumes no changes in policies from the mid-point of the year of publication (previously called the Reference Scenario).

- 450 Scenario sets out an energy pathway consistent with the goal of limiting the global increase in temperature to 2°C by limiting concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to around 450 parts per million of CO2.

Två av de scenarier som presenteras är alltså reflexioner av vad som händer i världen och det som är på väg att hända till följd av de beslut som fattats i olika beslutsorgan (länder, samarbetsorganisationer mm). Det är bilder INTE rekommendationer!

Om vi inte gillar det vi ser måste vi kanske rätta till de egna anletsdragen. Men klandra inte spegeln!
