Environment 2008 report released
Environmental report 2008Pick the low hanging fruit
Buildings too wasteful
Our buildings consume some 40% of the energy used in the EU and the US. Heating and cooling are key energy consumers. But most of this energy is being wasted due to inadequate insulation. Using well-proven energy efficiency techniques, we can cut the use of heating energy in a building by up to 90%.
Fruitful actions
This report shows ways to save vast amounts of energy, CO2 and money in buildings. But as building owners - or political decision-makers - we need to become more active and harvest the lowest hanging fruit. Before climate change and fossil fuel prices get beyond control.
