Buildings are responsible for 35% CO2 emissions – Data Matters from Clidemy
???? ??????? from CliDemy – the Climate Academy is a series that provides actionable insights for key stakeholders based on relevant data points around climate and climate action.
Buildings are massive consumers of energy. In the US, they consume almost 75% of all electricity and are responsible for 35% of the country’s CO2 emissions. ( Source: https://lnkd.in/gf5ABYyS ). The data for many other developed and developing economies could be quite similar.
The building energy carbon footprint is thus quite a massive something.
These data should help climate entrepreneurs, investors and policy makers zoom into a special focus on buildings.

1. Replace current sources of energy with renewable energy – either from premises or from the grid.
2. Implement energy efficiency solutions that can significantly reduce the energy consumption of existing energy equipment (ACs, ventilation, heating…)
3. If it is a greenfield building, incorporate energy efficiency (including passive energy avenues) design elements right at the design stage of the building.
