Overall methodology in this study

Abstract

The previous chapters reviewed the important position of energy efficiency as the first fuel in national energy development strategy and 11 market barriers that prevent energy-efficient technologies from being fully invested and deployed. This chapter presents a methodological framework for the book. The framework expanded to five areas: government policies and regulations; theory and example of economic and financial analyses for projects; project financing; energy service companies (ESCOs) and private investments; and energy-efficient technologies and green transport. Two case studies are presented as a foundation to support the methodology framework. Presented at the end of the methodology are conclusions from the analysis. Finally, data collection to support this study is briefly introduced in this chapter.
