This document discusses the legal aspects and documentation required for clean energy projects. It outlines that clean energy projects face significant legal barriers and require appropriate, comprehensive and customized legal documents that can represent tens to hundreds of thousands or millions in costs. These legal documents aim to identify, manage and mitigate risk for the project. The document then introduces RETScreen, a software that aims to help reduce these legal barriers and costs by providing sample legal documents and a legal documents toolkit online.

In this webinar we will present the findings of public views on the topic of energy infrastructure: how does the public feel about the technologies, drivers and trade-offs behind the complex and evolving area of energy infrastructure in the UK. For our research we have reviewed findings from public engagement activities and relevant reports, exploring public views on the supply-side of national energy infrastructure in the UK. We will present the key messages, trends and possible gaps in current knowledge about what the public think about energy infrastructure and why. You will also hear about good practice in engaging the public around climate change and energy. We are also keen on hearing your views and experiences in engaging the public on these issues, and discuss what good quality (local) engagement with energy infrastructure looks like.

Maryland’s State Finance & Procurement Article §14-410 defines environmentally preferable purchasing as the procurement or acquisition of goods and services that have a lesser or reduced effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing goods or services that serve the same purpose. This includes considerations based on: raw materials manufacturing packaging and distribution use, operation and maintenance refuse and disposal Article §14-410 also provides clarity that EPP may not require the acquisition of goods or services that: do not perform adequately for the intended use exclude adequate competition are not available at a reasonable price in a reasonable period of time Why is Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Important? As our State\'s population increases, there is more demand for energy, water, and other resources, putting strain on our transportation infrastructure, land use and coastal communities and increasing pollution, air emissions, and waste. Sound and efficient resource management through EPP has the potential to yield long term cost savings while minimizing the environmental impact associated with manufacturing, use, and disposal of the products we purchase. This is part of the larger move toward sustainability which aspires to meet \"current human needs without undermining the capacity of the environment to provide for those needs over the long term.\" Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Best Practices Manual 3 Benefits to Human Health, the Environment & Economy EPP can provide a variety of financial, human health, environmental, and social benefits. Commonly cited environmental, human health and social benefits of EPP include: reduced air, water and soil pollution materials and energy efficiency and reduced consumption less waste in landfills reductions in exposure to hazardous and toxic substances providing a manufacturing demand for collected recycled material reducing greenhouse gas emissions increasing the use of renewable materials improved wildlife habitats decreased costs associated with waste management, disposal, and cleanup Financial costs and benefits are easier to quantify. The purchasing price and frequency of purchase is weighed against operating costs, maintenance repair and replacement costs, occupational health costs, and liabilities. Economic benefits that may not be factored into the initial purchase price, or “first cost”: Reusable, refillable, durable, and repairable products are usually more cost-effective over time than singleuse or disposable products. Energy, water, or resource efficient products can result in avoided costs for these resources. Avoiding hazardous substances and preventing pollution can reduce health and disposal costs and regulatory liability. In many instances, a specific value to the benefits cannot be calculated without extensive study or would be cost prohibitive. However, in the absence of scientific consensus that an action is not harmful, the precau.

The complexity, volume and diversity of government policies and regulations raises significant burden on both the complying parties and government itself. On the one hand, businesses, civil organizations and other societal entities are required to simultaneously comply with and interpret different and possibly conflicting or inconsistent regulations. On the other hand, government as a whole must ensure policy and regulatory coherence across its various policy domains. While the recent wave of open government initiatives have led to significantly more public access to these documents, features allowing cross-referencing related documents and linking to less formal documents or comments on other media more understandable and accessible to the public are not common if at all available today. As a solution to this challenge, we propose an Open Government-wide Policy and Regulation Information Space consisting of documents that are “semantically” annotated and cross-linked to other documents in the information space as well as to external resources such as interpretations, comments and blogs on the social web. Our approach is three-fold. First, we identify the requirements for the infrastructure. Second, we eloborate a Reference Architecture identifying the various elements needed within the infrastructure. Third, we show how such infrastructure may be realised as a linked data portal where policies and regulations are published as linked open data. Finally, we present a case study involving environmental policy and regulations; discuss the potential impact of such infrastructure on coherency and accessibility of policies and regulations and concludes with challenges associated with provisioning a linked open policy and regulatory information infrastructure.

What is the added value of monitoring the flexibility, comfort, and well-being of a building? How can occupants be better informed about the performance of their building? And how to optimize a building's maintenance? The slides were presented during a webinar and roundtable with a focus on a new generation of instruments and tools to monitor buildings' performance, and their link with the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) for buildings as introduced in the EU's Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). Link to the recordings: https://youtu.be/ZCFhmldvRA0
