Putting Renewable Energy to Work in Cities. Final Report

摘要

The purpose of the book is to supply city officials with information needed to develop local policies that encourage the use of energy conservation and renewable energy technologies. The basic assumptions are that city energy officials need technical information, that urban energy managers must be conscious of the constraints and opportunities posed by existing conditions, and that no urban program can afford to overlook the links between energy and housing, employment, and economic development. Part One contains guidelines to help local energy officials assess their own urban energy contexts. Parts Two and Three indicate how different energy technologies might fit within different city contexts or neighborhoods. (ERA citation 07:043968)
