TRANSITIONING TO LOW CARBON ECONOMY –
ENGINEERING OPPORTUNITIES IN BUILDING AND
TRANSPORT SECTORS
Presented by the INAE
Drafting Committee
Beijing, China
Presentation of Draft
Report
1st June 2014
CAETS MANDATE FOR PRESENT REPORT
 FOCUS ON BUILDING AND TRANSPORT SECTORS
- Commercial / Industrial / Residential Buildings
- Multimodal transport
 MAIN FOCUS : METHODOLOGY TO MOVE TOWARDS LCE THROUGH:
-
Implementing energy efficiency to lower external energy demand,
related emissions and end user costs;
Transition away from fossil fuels
 SINCE TRANSITION PROCESS IS COUNTRY SPECIFIC, METHODOLOGY
TO COVER WIDE SPECTRUM OF GENERAL INITIATIVES
FROM ENERGY EFFICIENT DESIGNS TO CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGIES
(Eg.,) Thermoelectric; waste heat to electricity)
