The average lifespan of a building is 50 years, so the design of buildings that are constructed now will have an effect on energy consumption in our cities until well into the 2070s. This article presents the most effective options for cities to set mandatory minimum energy performance standards for buildings, to prevent locking in […]
This brochure provides step-by-step instructions for walk-through energy audits, focusing on heating, lighting, and bills and meter readings in offices and factories or warehouses.
This page provides an introduction to energy transition challenges in the industrial sector. It also tracks progress, presents data and lists seven key recommendations to policymakers and businesses.
This report by the Global Energy Transitions Commission presents a complete picture of global building sector emissions and describes pathways to decarbonisation for both existing buildings and new construction.
The Industrial Deep Decarbonisation Initiative, established by the UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the Clean Energy Ministerial, is a coalition of governments and companies. Among its goals, it seeks to motivate governments, which are major buyers of steel, cement and concrete for infrastructure projects, to apply sustainable procurement principles and prioritise the buying of […]
