An action plan for market transformation
The building sector is responsible for 37% of energy-related carbon emissions, making the transition to net-zero buildings a crucial response to climate change. Key highlights include:
- A 12-step action plan for policymakers and industry to create an enabling environment for net-zero operational emissions.
- A call for a fundamental shift from code compliance to a performance-based framework focused on the real energy performance of buildings in operation.
- Guidance for governments on setting national decarbonization pathways, mandating performance disclosure, and implementing minimum performance standards.
