Cross-American Experiences in an Ambitious Energy Reduction and Policy Implementation Project

This paper is a summary of cross-American experiences while researching and implementing a considerable energy reduction grant in three Latin American municipalities: Valdivia, Chile; Goiania, Brazil, and Port of Spain in Trinidad and Tobago. The project involves over 400 buildings in three different bioclimatic zones. The grant’s purpose is to demonstrate how no-cost or low-cost strategies could be deployed as efficient examples of energy savings and greenhouse gas reduction in municipal buildings. The program, conducted through pilot projects, has been designed to influence many other cities in the participating countries and beyond.
