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 – such as India – could be quite similar.
The building energy carbon footprint is thus quite a massive something.
For India, these data assume much higher significance because a large proportion of buildings that will stand in India by 2040 are yet to be built, unlike in developed countries that have very large and sophisticated building stocks.
These data should help climate entrepreneurs, investors and policy makers zoom into a special focus on buildings, especially in countries such as India.

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 (as it will be in many cases in India), incorporate energy efficiency (including passive energy avenues) design elements right at the design stage of the building.
