Description

Overview:

Residential and commercial buildings are the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. GHG emissions in buildings come mainly from the consumption of energy for heating, cooling, lighting, and operating various appliances, as well as from construction, materials, and maintenance.

Decarbonizing buildings is crucial in the efforts to mitigate climate change and achieve sustainable development. Building decarbonization involves energy efficiency, electrification, increased use of renewable energy sources, adoption of sustainable building practices, and supportive policies and regulations.
