This book was written to meet the needs of community organisations, development activists and the new breed of energy professional who wants to address the growing problems associates with Sustainable Energy systems.Planning for Sustainable Energy will be a major force for development in the 21st century and there is a need for guides to best practice for those who make decision, or who work with decision makers.The role of Sustainable Energy specialists and planners is to contribute to the sustainable management of energy systems and services, develop appropriate policies and assure the availability of energy services. Without the support of community organisations little substantive or sustainable progress can be made.Many problems can be classified as energy problems. The challenge for Sustainable Energy practitioners is to cope with conflicting priorities for improving the energy systems, which serve communities.As the scope of the Sustainable Energy challenge broadens, it becomes almost impossible for one individual to have a complete grasp of the knowledge and skills needed to identify, analyse and address the problems effectively. Sustainable Energy practitioners therefore need to have a broad range of skills and some specialist knowledge, particularly knowing how to find and evaluate sources of knowledge.It is not intended that this handbook be considered the last word in the field of Sustainable Energy planning, rather it should be considered the first words and most important basic concepts and principles which make up the essential activities associated with Sustainable Energy planning and implementation.The book is structured around a formal decision-making and planning process which is sufficiently adaptable to cope with most circumstances. It guides the reader from the initial stages of thinking about the current situation to the process of identifying problems that need to be addressed and the opportunities that can be created when appropriate action is taken. Appropriate models are then made of the current situation and of the interventions necessary to arrive at the new situation, which allows different scenarios to be examined. Once appropriate information has been collected and analysed and interpreted, using as many stakeholder viewpoints as possible then decisions can be made and these decisions put into practice.In later chapters the setting up of appropriate community based organisations are examined and some of the problems which can occur when trying to involve communities in renewable energy projects are highlighted.

Sustainable energy access planning, unlike traditional energy planning, gives primary importance to the energy demand of both poor and nonpoor households, the need to make cleaner energy services more affordable to the poor, the costs of both supply-side and demand-side access options, and the sustainability of technology and resource options. As such, this type of energy planning contributes to low carbon development and achievement of Sustainable Energy for All objectives. This report presents a framework for sustainable energy access planning that planners and policy makers can use to design cost-effective clean energy supply systems that both poor and nonpoor can sustainably access to meet at least the minimum amount of energy for their basic needs. The report discusses the multidimensional assessments involved in this type of planning, as well as their interlinkages and implementation issues.

Global warming is changing the world as we know it. Climate change can have catastrophic impacts in numerous cities across the world. It is time for us to react – quickly and effectively. The European Community (EC) has been leading the fight against climate change, making it one of its top priorities. We have introduced the most ambitious targets of their kind, known as the “20/20/20 by 2020” initiative within the “Climate Action and Renewable Energy Package.” As a result, European Member States have taken on a commitment to curb their CO emissions by at least 20% by 2020. 2 These targets are indeed commendable; however, they are only the start if we are to avoid the consequences of global warming. Whilst top level coordination from the European Institutions and Member State governments is vital, the role of mitigating and adapting to climate change at local level must not be forgotten. In fact, here cities, regions and their citizens play a significant a role. It is therefore vital they become directly involved in the climate change challenge. The European Commission therefore launched in 2008 a new initiative, the Covenant of Mayors, which brings together a network of European mayors in a voluntary effort to go beyond the European Union’s already ambitious targets. Half of our greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) are created in and by cities.

In this book, Chapter One proposes new tools for energy planning under sustainable development paradigm through models, procedures and methodologies. Chapter Two focuses on Home Energy Planning Systems applied to the residential sector. In Chapter Three, the possibilities to use geothermal technologies in Spain and whether they can reach generation objectives is examined. Chapter Four focuses on the impact that the grid regulatory framework, in force in several islands has had both from the technical and economical point of view, regarding their renewable energy development.

In the near future the appearance and spatial organization of urban and rural landscapes will be strongly influenced by the generation of renewable energy. One of the critical tasks will be the re-integration of these sustainable energy landscapes into the existing environment—which people value and want to preserve—in a socially fair, environmentally sound, and economically feasible manner. Accordingly, Sustainable Energy Landscapes: Designing, Planning, and Development focuses on the municipal and regional scale, where energy-conscious interventions are effective, and stakeholders can participate actively in the transition process. This book presents state-of-the-art knowledge in the exciting new field of sustainable energy landscapes. It bridges the gap between theory and fundamental research on the one hand, and practice and education on the other. The chapters—written by experts in their fields—present a selection of interdisciplinary, cutting-edge projects from across the world, illustrating the inspiring challenge of developing sustainable energy landscapes. They include unique case studies from Germany, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, Canada, Denmark, Austria, Italy, and the United States. The editors and team of contributing authors aim to inspire readers, providing a comprehensive overview of sustainable energy landscapes, including principles, concepts, theories, and examples. The book describes various methods, such as energy potential mapping and heat mapping, multicriteria decision analysis, energy landscape visualization, and employing exergy and carbon models. It addresses how to quantify the impact of energy transition both on landscape quality and energy economy, issues of growing importance. The text infuses readers with enthusiasm to promote further research and action toward the important goal of building energy landscapes for a sustainable future.
