8. Key findings
 Training, raising awareness and building capacity
are needed in both IEA and non-IEA countries
 Learning curves need to be considered at early
stages of policy design
 DON’T COPY PASTE: Methodologies are global
but buildings are local
 Human and financial resources are needed to
support governmental agencies
 Design policy packages that go from urban
policies to S&L for appliances
 Regional and international collaboration are
required © OECD/IEA 2011
