The City has also passed a mandatory cool roof requirement for new construction and roof replacements. In January 2014, Houston City Council approved another five percent increase in the Houston Residential Energy Conservation Code. With this increase the local minimum energy efficiency requirements for new construction of one and two family homes, townhouses and apartments up to three stories in height is 15 percent above what is mandated by state law. This is the third year in a row the local code has been increased by five percent. Currently, state law designates the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) as the energy code in Texas. In 2011, Houston City Council adopted a stricter version of the IECC. An update of the IECC yet to be approved by the state is expected to mirror Houston’s requirements.(29.7601927°, -95.3693896°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)

Subsidies of ethanol, biogas and hybrid trucks. Although trucks only represent five to ten percent of all traffic in Stockholm, they cause almost half of the environmental impact from traffic. An environmental adaptation of road haulage is therefore of high urgency. This could involve anything from logistics and planning to reduce transports and maximise loading, to a transfer to cleaner vehicles and renewable fuels. The City of Stockholm has worked actively with environmental adaptation of passenger cars since the mid 1990s. As a result, a wide range of clean cars are now available on the market and the number of filling stations for renewable fuels is rapidly expanding both in Stockholm and the rest of Sweden.(59.3293235°, 18.0685808°)(60.128161°, 18.643501°)

686City of Houston31108USAHoustonC402014Finance > Instruments to fund low carbon projectsFinanceInstruments to fund low carbon projectsThe City of Houston's 5-Star program got underway in 2010 with economic stimulus funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Under the management of HARC (the Houston Advanced Research Center) 59 new, single-family houses were completed through the initiative’s end in September 2013. “5-Star is unique in the way it incentivizes builders to upgrade new housing to reach ultra-efficiency levels well above Energy Star,” a key federal program that promotes energy-efficient products and practices, said David Hitchcock, the member of HARC’s research staff who has directed the management of the 5-Star program. “Larger incentives have been provided to motivate builders to reach higher efficiency levels, with those homes receiving the 5-Star rating receiving the largest incentive,” Hitchcock said. “Most of the energy savings in achieving these ultra-high efficiency levels have been obtained through installation of solar panels.” This program represents an expansion and enhancement of a local house-building program that already existed. In a 2010 progress report, city officials described this existing program, a component of the Houston HOPE program, as an “effort to revitalize blighted but historic neighborhoods by creating new affordable homes in areas with high concentrations of abandoned lots.” Partnering with a local government authority, the city acquired tax-delinquent properties for redevelopment through Houston HOPE. Six private homebuilders and one non-profit organization in turn acquired sites for new, affordable, single-family homes, which have been upgraded for much greater energy efficiency under the 5-Star program. Besides solar installations, other areas where builders attained greater efficiency have included water heating, attic insulation, duct placement and selection of appliances. Receiving a rating of five stars (20-0 on the HERS index) has earned a builder incentive of $50,000. The smallest incentive (for a one-star HERS rating of 45-36) was $25,000. For the houses built to date, the total annual energy savings that are possible for residents is estimated at about $2,100 each compared with a conventional house. For all those houses combined, the annual reduction in emissions of climate-changing carbon dioxide from power plants is estimated at about 368 tons.(29.7601927°, -95.3693896°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)

688Singapore Government35993SingaporeSingaporeC402014Energy Demand in Buildings > Energy efficiency/retrofit measuresEnergy Demand in BuildingsEnergy efficiency/retrofit measuresIncreasing building energy efficiency (through legislation) Legislation Developers and owners of new building projects are required by the Building Control (Environmental Sustainability) regulation to achieve minimum Green Mark standards. This requires them to achieve 28% energy efficiency improvement from 2005 codes. The regulation applies to new buildings, and existing buildings undergoing major retrofitting works, with a gross floor area of 2,000m2 or more. These standards benefit building owners as they reduce energy consumption while keeping compliance costs low. Building owners also have to fulfil three requirements under the Building Control Act: a) Achieve minimum Green Mark standard for existing buildings when a cooling system is installed, on top of earlier regulation to meet these standards during major retrofitting works; b) Carry out three-yearly energy audit on building cooling systems; and c) Submit building information and energy consumption data annually(51.9055346°, 4.4742753°)(1.352083°, 103.819836°)

690City of Houston31108USAHoustonC402014Transport > Improve bus infrastructure, services, and operationsTransportImprove bus infrastructure, services, and operationsAlso, the METRO is in the process of redesigning the existing bus system. The System Reimagining project represents a fresh look at METRO’s bus network and how it can best meet the goals for transit in our region. System Reimagining first seeks to define overall goals for the bus system then design a system with individual routes to meet those goals. By considering an integrated network of bus routes with the expanding rail service – including route alignment, frequency of service, potential connections, and improved links to development patterns – the system can be optimized to provide better service. Through this process, METRO seeks to make the system easier to use, and more useful to more people. The benefits should become evident – to existing and potential riders – leading to more trips by more people on public transit service. A chance for public comment and feedback on the proposed plan is planned for May 2014. Also, the Passenger Bus Shelter Program is an initiative to install bus shelters throughout the METRO service area. Installation of shelters has been shown to increase ridership at a given bus stop by an average of 20 additional riders per day. The Board is funding 100 new bus shelters per year.(29.7601927°, -95.3693896°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)

It is an emission-free, low-cost travel mode that the City seeks to promote as part of our strategy to increase non-motorized transportation and decrease private vehicle use. The protected bike path network is currently 117km long. Located at side streets, away from intense vehicular flows, the bike paths are increasingly being used by the population. The network has been designed to join strategic points of the City. Not only they do not contaminate and are one of the most economical means of transportation, while at the same time improving health: they also appear to be a fast means of transport. Besides reducing pollution, non motorized means of transport happen to be more affordable, as well as healthier and faster, to move around a big city like Buenos Aires.(-34.6037232°, -58.3815931°)(-38.416097°, -63.616672°)
