Building Energy Efficiency for Cities100
This solution addresses lack of building energy efficiency in international for local communities
Problem Description
"The Building Energy Efficiency sector focuses on solutions that mitigate the high environmental impact of the built environment. By refurbishing buildings with energy-efficient innovations, targeting residential buildings for upgrades, and encouraging greener building regulations, these solutions showcase how cities are taking action against the most energy-intensive sector of society."

Story
"Cities100 is a mission shared by Sustainia, C40, and Realdania to find the 100 leading city solutions to climate change. To identify groundbreaking projects from around the world, C40 and Sustainia launched a public campaign for applications, which yielded 160 eligible project submissions. In order to find the projects with the largest potential to create low-carbon and resilient cities, the applications were vetted and assessed by city and climate change experts at C40 and Sustainia, who used a detailed scoring system based on five criteria:
- Climate action
- Co-benefits
- Innovation
- Governance
- Sharing and scaling"
