Emissions from Buildings & Construction

GABC Global Status Report: http://www.globalabc.org/

Buildings and construction make up nearly 40% of the global direct
and indirect energy-related CO2 emissions.

Floor Area Growth in Buildings
Major growth in buildings is expected in India and Africa (over 200%);
and in Latin America, Southeast Asia and Middle East (over 100%).

GABC Global Status Report: http://www.globalabc.org/

End-use Growth in Buildings
Space cooling will continue to be the fastest growing end-use to 2050

Sustainable Pathway for Buildings
Significant reductions in building energy use is needed to achieve the2°C scenario out to 2050

Policy Package to drive the change
There is no single policy, which can address all existing barriers→ EFFECTIVE POLICY PACKAGE is needed

Analysis of barriers

Targets, roadmaps

Codes, standards,
regulations, etc.

Green loans,
Rebates,
Taxes, etc

2020: all new residential to be NZE
2030: all new commercial buildings to be NZE
2025: all new state buildings and major retrofits to be NZE

Three messages on Building Codes
1. Importance of actual energy use
2. High level of ambition
3. Engagement of different levels ofgovernanceto allow trade-offs between elements of the building envelope

Message 1: Importance of actual energy use

ing such as kWh/m2
1970

rgy use of a building demonstrated through the operation2000now

Efficient design versus efficient practices….

Denmark

Rebound effect:in efficient buildings actualenergy use is often higher than
the theoretical one due tooccupants' behaviour

Strategies:
Recognition in policy design, standards &labeling, awareness raising, smart
meters, consumer feedback & enhanced
billing, benchmarking, identity signalling,
positive examples

houses with an energy label.
Gram-Hansen and Hansen (2016)

Message 2: High level of ambition

Step 1: reduce the need for space heating and coolingthrough building envelope measures
Step 2: reduce heating and cooling energy use throughefficient HVAC systems
Step 3: integrate RE supply

Message 3: Focus on enforcement

China••••••

Certified inspection companies to analyze building architectural plans
Building license is granted after a positive compliance report review
Certified engineering inspection companies perform inspections during construction
Local quality supervision agency performs compliance checks during the building process
Random annual inspections through the Ministry of Housing
Occupancy permits issued only if buildings pass all compliance checks

Message 3: Going beyond individual buildings•A building or a group of buildings flexibly
connected and synchronised with an energy system•

Able to produce, store and consume energy efficiently•

Flexible, adapting to the needs and strengthening theenergy system
