Building The Future:

<p>Buildings are responsible for a significant amount of global energy consumption and carbon emissions. But how do the various strategies for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through building energy efficiency compare, specifically for larger commercial, institutional, and public buildings?</p> <h2>Energy Consumption And GHG Emissions</h2> <p>The building sector accounts for a significant portion of global energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), buildings and construction activities are responsible for almost&nbsp;<a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/buildings" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">40%</a>&nbsp;of global energy-related CO2 emissions. This means that the way we design, construct, and operate our buildings has a significant impact on global warming and climate change.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/the-new-climate/building-the-future-6d3b40c155d2"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
