Energy Efficiency Standard and Building Rating Systems

This paper is the product of the research that was conducted to:

• Better understand the applicability of the requirements for building energy- efficient houses, buildings, and communities in the neighbouring municipalities;
• Have an appreciation for the cost associated with the compliance of the energy efficiency requirements; and
• Help define a feasible and acceptable approach to determining the energy efficiency requirements which will encourage developers and builders to build energy efficient buildings in the neighbourhoods.

Guided Buses

This paper is the product of the research that was conducted to:

• Help understand the transformation of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) into Guided Buses (GB);
• Highlight the expert opinions about the transit solution supported with the successful operations of the BRT systems; and
• Draw attention to a number of GB systems around the world.

The focus of this research was to provide the public transit planners with another prospective which could lead them to an effective, efficient, flexible, and sustainable transit solution for their communities and cities.  No attempts were made to include any financial analysis and it was left up to the public transit planners to proceed with the next logical steps in the process of evaluation.
