Limiting urban energy consumption starts with knowing what is being used and by whom. When the potentials for energy savings are identified plans can be made to reduce use, ranging from better insulation to using more efficient technologies.  
 
EFFICIENCY // LIMIT ENERGY USE

ENERGY EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES

Stimulate and implement technologies (i.e. LED lights)

>> Best practice example

Energy efficienty technology

INSULATION

Provide funding programmes for insulation and renovation

>> Best practice example

Insulation

CLIMATE NEUTRAL HOUSING

Require construction to be climate neutral/energy positive

>> Best practice example

Change energy source

(e.g. from coal to electric, from gas to residual heat)

>> Best practice example

MONITORING TOOLS

Use monitoring tools to identify energy waste

>> Best practice example
