Bridging the information gap on Energy Efficiency (bigEE) in buildings is an international initiative by research institutes for technical and policy advice and public agencies in the field of energy and climate, co-ordinated by the Wuppertal Institute, Germany. The outcome of the partnership is to create an international web-based knowledge platform for energy efficiency policies in buildings, building-related technologies, and appliances in the world’s main climatic zones. The Workshop received an overwhelming response from the participants and panellists.

The overall objective of this stakeholder capacity building workshop, was on advancing energy efficiency technologies and policies in buildings to:

• introduce bigEE India country pages to local stakeholders

• highlight the opportunities and benefits of optimizing energy efficiency in buildings through best available building technologies, appliances and best practice policies for India

• raise the capacity of the policy-makers to develop and implement holistic strategies for energy efficiency in buildings

• stimulate discussions on how to strengthen local policies for energy efficiency in buildings

• introduce the bigEE knowledge platform and demonstrate its added value for policy-makers’ strategic and operational level decisions
