Building owners, government jurisdictions and industry professionals around the world are responding to accelerating climate change and recognizing that building decarbonization is a significant component to their efforts. The worldwide building sector accounts for about 40% of energy-related carbon emissions and the global building stock is predicted to double by the year 2060.
Buildings remain a key sector that today lacks sufficient climate change mitigation action. As the global authority for building energy standards, ASHRAE recognizes that the scope of building-related policies, programs and regulations needs to expand to incorporate deep energy efficiency improvements, beneficial electrification, demand flexibility, and whole building lifecycle greenhouse gas emission reductions. These outcomes need to be achieved concurrently with maintaining comfortable, healthy, safe, resilient, and affordable building environments for occupants.
