The objective of this study is to assess the impact of energy efficiency upgrade scenarios on the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the Canadian housing stock. The study is targeted towards policy makers who can use the results of this techno-economic study to pass appropriate legislation to curtail GHG emissions from the Canadian housing stock. The analysis was conducted using the Canadian Residential End-use Energy Model (CREEM). CREEM is representative of the Canadian housing stock, and is capable of assessing the GHG and energy impact of retrofits. Cost estimates were updated to assess the economic feasibility of the upgrade by calculating the indicator "GHG emissions reduction per dollar investment" (GHGRPDI) calculated by dividing the reduction in annual GHG emissions by the investment cost. Retrofits were ranked for each house in CREEM, based on the indicator GHGRPDI. The analysis is for houses that are eligible for a certain upgrade. The top five retrofits were determined for each province, and are presented as part of this study. For example, the top 5 retrofits (in order) that are suited for Ontario based on the GHGRPDI are: 1. Upgrade the lighting system to high efficient compact fluorescent lights. 2. Install programmable thermostats in all eligible houses. 3. Ceiling insulation upgrade to RSI 7.04 for all eligible houses. 4. Install low flow shower heads and aerators for all eligible houses. 5. Basement ceiling insulation of at least RSI 5.5 in all eligible houses.

Throughout history the development of the countries has been generated mainly by the impulse in two complementary axes: Science and Technology, and Trade. At present we are experiencing an exponential scientific and technological development and the Economy in all its fronts is driven by the intensive application of technology. According to these considerations, this research tries to expose the development of Innovation Management as a transversal mechanism to promote the different socioeconomic areas and especially those supported by engineering. To this end, use will be made of Technology Watch in order to identify the advances of the main research centres related to innovation in the world. Next, there will be an evaluation of the main models of Innovation Management and related methodologies that expose some of the existing Innovation Observatories in the world to finally make a proposal for Innovation Management applicable to the reality of Peru, so that it can be taken into consideration by stakeholders (Government, Academy, Business and Civil Society) committed to Innovation Management in the country


The success of the Program of housing stock renovation in Moscow depends on the efficiency of resource management. One of the main urban planning documents that determine the nature of the reorganization of residential areas included in the Program of renovation is the territory planning project. The implementation of the planning project is a complex process that has a time point of its beginning and end, and also includes a set of interdependent parallel-sequential activities. From an organizational point of view, it is convenient to use network planning and management methods for project implementation. These methods are based on the construction of network models, including its varieties – a Gantt chart. A special application has been developed to simulate the implementation of planning projects. The article describes the basic principles and elements of modeling. The list of the main implementation parameters of the Program of renovation obtained with the help of the developed software for modeling is presented. The variants of using the results obtained for a comprehensive analysis of the implementation of large-scale urban projects are proposed.
