| Summary: | Many of the most successful municipal
energy efficient procurement programs around the
world London, Mexico City, New York City, and Vienna have
been undertaken without any action at the national level.
Forward-looking cities can be champions for energy
efficiency initiatives today, showing other cities and their
national governments how such measures can save money and
drive markets. As other cities follow their example,
opportunities grow for joint purchasing, strengthening
negotiating power to demand lower cost and better quality
products. Two strategies have been particularly effective in
this area energy efficient purchasing initiatives and energy
savings performance contracts. This guidance note outlines
the opportunities and barriers to adopting these procurement
strategies, provides global lessons and examples, and offers
step-by-step guidance on how cities can get started with
energy efficient purchasing policies. |
