DEXMA is delighted to announce its partnership with theBuilding Efficiency Accelerator, a public-private collaboration managed by theWorld Resources Instituteas part of the Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) initiative of the United Nations.
The aim of the BEA is todouble the rate of energy efficiencyimprovement in the global building sector by 2030.
What is the Building Efficiency Accelerator?
A global partnership of more than 30 businesses and organisations, theBuilding Efficiency Accelerator (BEA)assists subnational governments around the world to catalyse the implementation of building efficiency actions.
The BEA was launched in 2014 at the UN Climate Summit. It is one of a set of 6 partnerships, under the UN’sSustainable Energy for All(SEforALL) umbrella, designed to drive transformative global change to double the rate of energy efficiency improvement by 2030.
The BEA includes over 30 stakeholders, including DEXMA, committed to working with cities around the world on building efficiency efforts and is managed by World Resources Institute.
When a city signs up to the Accelerator, they are asked to make the following3 commitments:
1. Implementoneenabling policy
2. Implementonedemonstration project
3. Create abaselineof building energy performance, track and report annual progress, and share experiences and best-practices with other governments.
Currently, there are28 BEA citiesaround the world, which can be seen on the map below:
