Energy conservation in buildings and community systems program. Annex 33: Advanced Local Energy Planning (ALEP) - a guidebook

Within the IEA (International Energy Agency) program on Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems four countries have cooperated to apply the approach of 'Advanced Local Energy Planning' (ALEP) to three big cities and three regions in Germany, Italy, Sweden and The Netherlands, using Markal as comprehensive energy model. This Guidebook on Advanced Local Energy Planning contains the results of these case studies, a presentation of the 'ALEP philosophy' and a discussion of the potential benefits of energy system models in the context of strategic local energy planning, compared to conventional planning approaches. It has been shown that the results of the energy model could be verified with conventional tools and that the model, once established, allows for much more comprehensive analyses and optimization and thus is better suited to develop a fully consistent long-term energy strategy than conventional means. Although capable of modeling a complex local energy system, there are deficits in user-friendliness which represent a major barrier for wider distribution. Therefore, further development is necessary. By Annex 33, a specification of the needs of practical Local Energy Planning to future energy system models that are at present under development was provided.

The vicissitudes of energy-climate policy in Stockholm: politics, materiality and transit

International audienceThrough analysis of the orientations, conflicts and challenges of recent energy–climate policy in Stockholm, this paper interrogates how energy and climate become (translated as) a set of issues which come to matter in the local urban arena for different social and political interests. Drawing in particular on recent theoretical work on urban materiality, it is argued that ongoing, ‘everyday’ local struggles over the processes and practices of transformation of the urban fabric constitute repoliticised settings through and in which the orientations of urban energy transition are materially understood, experienced and performed in diverging ways. In ‘mapping’ the undulating politics of energy–climate matters, the paper outlines an alternative way of following and/or measuring energy and carbon flows through the urban environment
