Abstract
The Tool for Rapid Assessment of City
Energy (TRACE) is used for conducting rapid assessments of
energy use in cities. It helps prioritize sectors with
significant energy savings potential, and identifies
appropriate energy efficiency interventions across six
sectors-transport, municipal buildings, water and waste
water, public lighting, solid waste, and power and heat. It
is a simple, low-cost, user-friendly, and practical tool
that can be applied in any socioeconomic setting. This
report is based on the implementation of the TRACE tool in
Constanta in July 2013 and it outlines ideas on what the
city could further do to improve its energy efficiency
performance. It details the analysis carried out and the
recommendations derived as a result, for district heating
maintenance and upgrade, non-motorized transport, public
transport development, parking restraint measures, municipal
building benchmarking program, municipal buildings audit and
retrofit, street lighting timing program, energy efficiency
action plan and strategy, and awareness raising campaigns.
