This paper offers a new perspective on the challenge of scaling-up energy efficiency investments by defining and separating basic energy efficiency investments and integral energy efficiency investments (where overall asset performance is the lead driver, yet multiple benefits are delivered by an incremental embedded investment). The paper also provides insights into national policy developments, showcasing good practices, as well as an insight into policy tracking databases, using the Voluntary Energy Efficiency Investment Principles as a frame for their comparison. Finally, the Toolkit reveals how public and private sector financial institutions are tackling the energy efficiency investment challenge, through their commitments, approaches, tools and by sharing the areas that they identify for further joint development.
