World ESCO Outlook

Specialists in starting energy service companies (ESCO) that make efficient use of energy, Langlois and Hansen survey their current state and prospects around the world from the perspectives of energy performance contracting models, financing, making contracts work, markets and marketing, related services the companies offer, the critical role of measurement and verification, and associations. For all that, nearly 400 pages are devoted to country reports ranging from two to eight pages each. Contributors in-country cover activities, contracts, the legal framework, markets, facilitators, and government actions. Distributed in the US by Taylor & Francis.
