Present and future energy consumption of buildings: Challenges and opportunities towards decarbonisation
Open accessAbstract
The present article aims to present and discuss the energy and environmental reality in the building sector and critically investigate the future pathways towards its decarbonisation. The current economic and employment characteristics as well as the energy, environmental, climate and social impact of the building sector are analysed. The main current and future challenges related to overpopulation, climate change, urbanisation, energy consumption, material use and poverty are explored and evaluated. The recent building energy technological developments are explored and their current and future energy, environmental and economic potential is assessed. The main drivers determining the future energy consumption of the building sector are examined and their expected evolution is analysed. Representative scenarios on the future energy consumption are selectively presented. The proposed pathways towards the decarbonisation of the building sector are critically presented and the main advantages and potential problems are depicted.

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.
