Webinar on Energy Efficiency in Humanitarian Organization Infrastructure: Case Study from Kenya and Ethiopia

chevron_left Back to ESDS Article Page

Energy efficiency (EE) is the “low hanging fruit” that is often ignored or not utilized to the fullest. However, EE interventions should be the first step towards the transition to clean energy with many low or no-cost interventions that can easily be implemented resulting in both energy and financial savings.

This webinar will feature a presentation on the “Energy Efficiency Implementation Guidelines” which includes interventions and activities for improving EE across five primary areas i.e. power generation, power distribution, appliances, buildings and behavioral changes. Case study from Kenya will focus on good practices of incorporating energy efficiency in humanitarian infrastructures.
