The objective of this Expert Group Meeting is to peer review the draft Casebook on Good Practices for Energy-efficient housing in the UNECE region. The Casebook is currently being prepared by the Institute for Urban Economics as a joint project between the UNECE, UN-Habitat and the City of Vienna.

The Casebook has a practical approach: it aims to be a reliable source for decision makers and practitioners on what is and has already been working in the field of energy efficiency on a community level and beyond. It should underline viability of energy-efficient housing, trigger interest and increase acceptability of national stakeholders in this field to, eventually, create demand for energy-efficient retrofitting and construction of new residential buildings.

The concept note for the Casebook is accessible here.
