International Climate Initiative - bigEE – Bridging the Information Gap on Energy Efficiency in Buildings (India, China & South Africa)

The purpose of the project was to communicate knowledge on energy-efficiency to decision-makers in politics and industry and other target groups as well as support them in incorporating this knowledge into strategies and policies. In cooperation with experienced partners, it has gradually developed an Internet-based knowledge portal entitled ‘bigEE – Bridging the Information Gap on Energy Efficiency in Buildings’, which provides systematic and clear information on energy efficiency in buildings. The project also set up a network of partners in relevant stakeholder groups in major emerging countries, like South Africa, India and China. The partners created their own pages for their country on the Internet platform, detailing country-specific potential, net economic benefits, local stakeholder structures and existing policy instruments.
