Energy use in buildings is responsible for more than 30% of global CO2 emissions and has a significant role to play in climate change mitigation, given  the large  potential  savings in  both new and existing  buildings. A  study  completed  by  the  Central European  University  commissioned by  the  Global Buildings  Performance  Network  (GBPN)  has  demonstrated  how  far  a transformative  change  of  the  building  sector  can  bring  us  in  terms  of  emissions reductions.In  order  to  achieve  this  “deep” scenario, today’s best practice/state of the art buildings must become the standard in less than ten years from now. For new buildings this means that all buildings should develop towards net zero energy or very low energy standards
