markets recognize other key drivers such as

energy security, increased building asset value,

and enhanced brand or public image. Policies

that improve the economics of energy

efficiency sought by all, but beyond

incentives, regions see different policy

opportunities in their unique markets.

• Lack of funding to pay for improvements

remained the greatest barrier to pursuing more

energy efficiency, but barriers differ by

market, and technical capacity to evaluate

performance remains a significant barrier.
