Briefing
An EIU survey commissioned by the GBPN in collaboration with IMT about the U.S. real estate and construction executives's opinion of energy efficiency in the building sector.
Why buildings hold the key to a low-carbon future? The GBPN provides evidence that ambitious improvements in the energy performance of buildings can reduce their CO2 emissions by one third by 2050 and sets out the necessary steps towards a "Deep market transformation".

A survey among building sector and real estate business executives in Europe on the feasibility of implementing energy efficiency measures across their sector
Today, buildings still account for almost half of the global energy consumption and carbon emission. This highlights the necessity to increase energy efficiency requirements worldwide in a common effort to reduce the construction sector's impacts on the environment. The current energy policies are driving toward a design that relies on airtight and highly insulated envelopes. As a consequence, energy efficient houses are found to have insufficient indoor air change rates, impacting on the indoor air quality and resulting in higher latent loads.
