17183429City of StockholmStockholmSwedenEuropeC40Public2017Building performance rating and reportingBuildingsEnergy Centre is the city's function for energy efficiency efforts and renewable electricity production in the city's own organization. Energy Centre's work focuses on energy efficiency and solar energy production, particularly in the city's building stock, which accounts for about 75% of the city energy use, but also supports other parts of the city. Energy Centre was founded in 2005 as a projects and subsequently evaluated. After the evaluation was a political decision to permanent business. Energy Centre started with two energy specialists. Today, the energy center of six persons. Energy Centre assists with technical studies, feasibility studies, evaluations and specialist in procurement to support the implementation of energy efficiency measures and investments in solar energy production. An important part of the business is to seek project funding for R & D projects and be responsible for project management of approved projects. In the energy center's tasks include also follow up the city's energy statistics and report compliance against the city energy efficiency objective for City Council.

174031114City of SydneySydneyAustraliaSouth Asia and OceaniaC40Public2017Energy efficiency/ retrofit measuresBuildingsThe City awarded a tender to retrofit 45 of its major buildings with energy and water savings measures in 2014. The retrofit is complete and has cut energy use by 6,054 MWh (megawatt hours), reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 21 per cent per year and water consumption by 40,516 kL per year. The energy and water savings have been independently verified. Payback is estimated within nine years. These retrofits are increasing efficiency of our buildings but also reducing maintenance costs and utility charges. This $6.9 million project will include an upgrade of the City of Sydney's pools, community centres, libraries and car parks. Old inefficient lights are being replaced and heating and air-conditioning systems are being upgraded and improved. Water-saving devices will include aerated taps and shower heads, cistern modifiers in toilets and waterless urinals.(-33.8674869°, 151.2069902°)(-25.274398°, 133.775136°)

The bike fleet includes a range of bikes suited to various operational requirements, including; a cargo bike, some electric assist bikes and bikes with additional carrying capacity. Staff members wanting to use the bicycle fleet are given detailed training and provided with appropriate personal protective equipment.The bike fleet is housed in recently completed end-of-trip facilities called "Pitstop" on Level 1 of Town Hall House which provides security access for staff riding or walking to work, promoting active transport. The Pitstop facility includes 150 bike parking spaces, 150 lockers, en-suite and accessible bathrooms, showers, change rooms and a water station.(-33.8674869°, 151.2069902°)(-25.274398°, 133.775136°)

Implementation of the LGN involves infrastructure improvements to streets and public spaces to make spaces moreconnected and pleasant to walk and ride in.The LGN connects the City to its urban villages, connects village to village and to parks and leisure facilities. The LGN ensures all residents are within reasonable walking distance to most local services including fresh food, childcare, health services and social, learning, and cultural infrastructure. At least 10% of city trips will be made by bicycle and 50% by pedestrian movement.The network features include traffic calming measures, widened footpaths and more pedestrian crossings, way-finding, planting for shade and amenity, bubblers, seats, cycleways, bike parking and LED lighting.(-33.8674869°, 151.2069902°)(-25.274398°, 133.775136°)
