At the building scale, the primary means for achieving demand reduction is reusing the existing building stock through flexible space management, retrofits, and adaptive reuse.
“At the building scale, the primary means for achieving demand reduction is reusing the existing building stock through flexible space management, retrofits, and adaptive reuse (Elefante 2012;Frey et al. 2011;Hasik et al. 2019).”

Depending on the building type and grid mix, it can take from 10 to 80 years for new construction to compensate for climate impacts as compared to an upgraded existing building.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
