| Summary: | The Tool for Rapid Assessment of City
Energy (TRACE) is used for conducting rapid assessments of
energy use in cities. It helps prioritize sectors with
significant energy savings potential, and identifies
appropriate energy efficiency interventions across six
sectors-transport, municipal buildings, water and waste
water, public lighting, solid waste, and power and heat. It
is a simple, low-cost, user-friendly, and practical tool
that can be applied in any socioeconomic setting. While this
work focuses on the growth poles in Romania, the analysis
was limited to the boundary of the center city of Brasov,
due to the difficulty of collecting individual indicators
for all the constituent localities of a metropolitan area.
The report details the analysis carried out and the
recommendations derived as a result, for district heating
maintenance and upgrade, non-motorized transport, public
transport development, parking restraint measures, municipal
buildings audit and retrofit, street lighting timing
program, and active leakage of water and pressure management. |
