• New policies, such as energy benchmarking and performance disclosure, mandatory energy audits, and enhanced energy codes for building renovations.

• Technologies to reduce energy use in existing buildings, policies to promote energy-efficiency investment, and how to sell projects to real-estate decision makers.
