improving policy making and strategic planning competencies of Public Authorities in the energy management of municipal Public buildings the prioritee toolbox and its application in five mediterranean areas
Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2021Co-Authors: M Salvia, Sofia Simoes, Maria Herrando, Marko Cavar, C Cosmi, Filomena Pietrapertosa, Joao Gouveia, Norberto Fueyo, Antonio Gomez, Kiki PapadopoulouAbstract:Abstract Making Public buildings smarter and more energy efficient requires tailored solutions to overcome the barriers in implementing suitable technology options in a large variety of building types. The PrioritEE project aimed to strengthen the policy-making and strategic planning competencies of local and regional Public Authorities in the energy management of Municipal Public Buildings, gaining experience in five local pilots in the Mediterranean area. This paper focuses on the PrioritEE toolbox, describing both the “soft components” and the technical components. These components are widely applicable and replicable in all European cities for supporting local administrations in improving energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources in municipal Public buildings. The Energy Technologies and Building Retrofit Database is a technology repository of energy efficiency measures and renewable energy technologies, providing the main reference data on costs, technical performance and lifetime. With the Decision Support Tool users can assess current building stock energy performance, evaluate different efficiency and renewable interventions, and compare, rank, and prioritize technical options through a set of key performance indicators. A sample of the results to date in the five partner regions are also presented, comparing the main individual characteristics in order to derive replicable solutions for local Authorities. This project also highlighted how crucial stakeholder involvement is for tool improvement, capacity building and enabling knowledge transfer.

information governance records management and freedom of information a study of local government Authorities in england
Government Information Quarterly, 2010Co-Authors: Elizabeth Shepherd, Alice Stevenson, Andrew FlinnAbstract:In many democratic states political rhetoric gives weight to increasing Public participation in and understanding of the political process; (re)-establishing Public trust in government decision making; increasing transparency, openness, and accountability of Public Authorities; and, ultimately, improving government decision-making on behalf of citizens. Access to the Public record and freedom of information (FOI) are mechanisms which help to facilitate the accountability of Public Authorities. Many jurisdictions have introduced legislation related to these mechanisms, and the UK government is no exception with its enactment of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in 2000. University College London (UCL) ran a research project over 12 months in 2008–2009, funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council. The research project examined what the impact of the UK FOIA had been on records management services in Public Authorities, especially local government. This article reports on some of the findings of the study. It considers how FOI compliance and records management functions are organized in local government and the role of information governance which is emerging as an umbrella for such functions. It draws some conclusions about the contributions that records management services make to the ability of local Authorities to comply with the FOIA and identifies some ways in which user experience may be affected by the management of records.

the impact of freedom of information on records management and record use in local government a literature review
Journal of The Society of Archivists, 2009Co-Authors: Elizabeth Shepherd, Alice Stevenson, Andrew FlinnAbstract:In 2008–2009, a research project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, was run by the Department of Information Studies at University College London (UCL). It examined the impact of the UK Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000 on records management services in Public Authorities, especially in local government. The project considered the inter-relationship between records management and freedom of information, and examined the cooperation and partnerships needed in order to maximise the benefits of freedom of information. A part of the first phase of the research was an extensive literature review: this article introduces the literature on freedom of information and records management, focusing on the UK. It suggests that while there were significant preparations by some Public Authorities for the full implementation of the Act in 2005, perhaps the necessary culture change and strategic leadership did not follow. There are, as yet, few studies of the user experience of freedom of informati...
