In order to promote and to develop the energy and environmental solutions in urban projects and urban planning, ADEME wants to give support to main local decision-makers : municipalities, regional authorities, urban planners, etc. This support is under the shape of methodological guides, covering the various fields of environment. The Energy Guide gives the necessary information to carry out the studies required for the introduction of energy efficient solutions: * energy diagnostic, analysis of the demand and offer, forecast * analysis of impacts of decisions: development of renewable energy and of energy local resources, dissemination of energy efficient solutions in buildings. Impacts may be environmental, economical, social (increasing employment, improving life conditions of poor population, etc.) * elaboration of an energy territorial planning * definition of obligations to be introduced in the urban planning documentation, regulation, contracts * following and monitoring The Energy Guide includes: - environmental, economical and social issues of energy planning - general methodology, to be adapted to the different territorial scales - specific methodological approaches: CHP, district heating, wind energy, hydro-electric plants, etc. |
