NAMAs in the refrigeration, air conditioning and foam sectors. A technical handbook.
This handbook aims to serve policy makers and practitioners in developing countries as a comprehensive guideline for the preparation and implementation of nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs) in the refrigeration, air conditioning and foam (RAC&F) sectors. To date it is the only comprehensive compendium addressing the RAC&F sectors with respect to NAMAs, or, more generally, cost-effective mitigation actions on a sectoral level.
Structure of the handbook
The handbook is divided into ten modules, the ten main aspects of NAMAs in the RAC&F sectors. Each module addresses and guides the user in a step-by-step manner towards the implementation of applicable activities and the application of methodologies and tools. All modules have an executive summary and are structured into three main parts: 1) introduction, 2) methodology and 3) practical application.
