An Innovative Decision Support Tool for Evaluating Energy Efficiency Opportunities in Cities

Tool for Rapid Assessment of City Energy ( TRACE )

TRANSPORT

BUILDINGS

PUBLIC LIGHTING

WATER & WASTEWATER

POWER & HEATING

SOLID WASTE

Developed by Energy Efficient Cities Initiatives (EECI), Energy Sector Management Assistance Program, The World Bank Ranjan Bose, Senior Energy Specialist ESMAP , World Bank , Washington , DC , USA

TRACE is........
a practical tool for conducting rapid assessment of energy use in cities, that identifies and prioritizes sectors, and suggests specific energy efficiency interventions
A benchmark - based tool for assessing energy efficiency of key municipal services buildings, transport, public lighting, water/wastewater, power/heating, and solid waste A process for prioritizing sectors that offer the greatest actionable EE potential A playbook of tried and tested municipal EE interventions

The Tool evaluates energy efficiency opportunities under direct municipal government control

TRACE: Vital Statistics

Clients Benchmarking KPIs Performance Data Prioritization EE Recommendations Case Studies Decision - Making Attributes Basic Training Duration Deployment
City mayors and municipal bodies 28 KPIs spread across 6 sectors 60 cities; 700 data points with a minimum 8 data points per KPI Energy expenditure, relative energy intensity, city authority control or influence 59 recommendations spread across 6 sectors and CA management 191 cases spread across 6 sectors Energy savings potential, upfront capital cost, speed of implementation Essential as it requires experts participation ~3 months Gaziantep (Turkey), Da Nang (Vietnam), Cebu and Quezon Philippines), Surabaya (Indonesia), (the

What it does:

What it doesnt do:

Focused on City Budget and areas of City government influence Sensitive to user-City Context Not too data- and cost-intensive Simple and practical diagnostic tool

Eradicate human error Analyze specific issues Perform a detailed energy audit Target the private sector

Big-picture analysis based on available data and interviews

Basic strategy for choosing and pursuing solutions

TRACE Process Overview

Energy efficiency measures across all 6 sectors

Prioritisation

Filtering process

Benchmarking + city contextual information

Priority sectors

Module in TRACE and more detailed city information

Final energy efficiency recommendations

28 KPIs are Used in TRACE

Benchmarking Cities
60 cities representing a cross section of Population, Climate and Level of Development

Recommendation Appraisal
As part of recommendation appraisal process, the City Authoritys capacity to act is rated on five factors:
Finance Human Resources Assets/Infras tructure Policy/Regulation/ Enforcement Data/Information

Recommendations Matrix

TRACE Output
Practical and specific recommendations on EE improvements
Cost savings potential Implementation constraints Synergy/opportunities

TRACE with city baseline data/indicators can be used by City Authorities for future M&E of urban energy systems A comprehensive urban energy report focusing on municipal services

Key Findings
high city-wide electricity use per capita; high city-wide water consumption and disproportionately high electricity consumption for water pumping; high city-wide utilization of public transport but equally growing ownership and use of private motor vehicles, resulting in higher operating energy intensity for mobility; high city-wide electricity use on public lighting; very high consumption of electricity in municipal buildings.

Areas for Intervention

Potable Water
Active Water System Leak Detection and Pressure Management Improve Efficiency of Water Pumps and Motors Water Efficient Fixtures and Fittings

Transport
Public Transport Development Municipal and City Bus Fleet Efficiency Traffic Flow Optimization

Buildings
Mandating Building Energy Efficiency Codes for New Buildings Municipal office Audit and Retrofit Program

Public Lighting
Street lighting timing system Street lighting audit and retrofit

for each area there are number of good practice case studies built in TRACE
