An EIU survey commissioned by the GBPN in collaboration with BPIE about the European real estate and construction executives's opinion of energy efficiency in the building sector.
Briefing
A report from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), commissioned by the GBPN in collaboration with The China Sustainable Energy Program (CSEP) shows the current situation and the challenges in building energy efficiency from the perspective of building sector executives.
The building sector has been identified as a sector with large potential for delivering energy savings and mitigation of GHG emissions. Yet it has been unclear what the specific role of building energy efficiency codes play in achieving these savings. Thererfore, between July 2011 and June 2012 the Global Buildings Performance Network, facilitated the development of scenarios for energy savings and GHG mitigation related to thermal energy efficiency in buildings and an international survey of the impact of policy best-practices.
为比较建筑节能规范的最佳实践方法开发了第一套客观的衡量准则。
Case Study
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.
可靠证据表明，至2050年印度建筑领域会产生巨幅能源增长，基于此估测，本报告分析了印度目前建筑节能减排的政策框架及其节能潜力。
Technical Report:
What is a “deep” renovation? The GBPN convened collaborators on both sides of the Atlantic and around the world in order to formulate coherent definitions. Together we reached a general understanding of the most commonly used expressions: deep renovation and deep retrofit.
This study is organized with a chapter devoted to each APEC member economy, which seeks to detail:

Abstract: All forms of economic production and exchange involve the use of energy directly and in the transformation of materials. Until recently, cheap and seemingly limitless fossil energy has allowed most of society to ignore the importance of contributions to the economic process from the biophysical world as well as the potential limits to growth. This paper centres on assessing the energy costs of modern day society and its relation to GDP.

This new GBPN report jointly developed with the Centre for Environmental Planning and Technology (CEPT) University, provides a first attempt to document energy saving potentials that could be achieved in India by 2050 in the residential sector. Four energy scenarios have been developed to identify the potential energy savings, each relating to a level of ambition of building performance policies and market efforts.
The new Policy Paper released today captures the main findings of the dialogue initiated by the GBPN with practitioners and international code experts on the design and implementation of best practice building codes.
