A city-wide building stock model is a hugely important asset for many Net Zero policy applications. The insights for decarbonisation via retrofit projects are numerous. Maria Wood writes for IPPO on her work with the Greater London Authority to produce the second version of an open-source model of all domestic and non-domestic buildings in the city. And why this work matters for the UK's energy transition #NetZero #Policy https://lnkd.in/esWxzVUk

The built environment sector is a major contributor to global carbon emissions. Buildings and construction account for 37% to 40% of global greenhouse gas BSI is proud to share a new report “Collaborating on the journey to net zero”, with research exploring: ✅ Identification of barriers and pain points facing firms ✅ Highlighted progress towards NetZero in the Built Environment sector ✅ New insights and perspectives from leading companies and experts globally Download it here 👉 https://gag.gl/mjhrVO #BSI #builtenvironment #construction #netzero #sustainability #JourneytoNetZero

...'In January 2024, the #WhiteHouse and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released the #national #definition for a #building with #zero #operating #emissions. The initial #focus on #operationalemissions may #later #broaden to include #embodied #carbon, the #impacts of #refrigerants and #grid-#interactive #equipment, according to the #DOE. Serving as a #framework for increased #market #alignment to #move the #buildingsector toward #zeroemissions, the definition #highlights three #principles.'.. “A #zerooperatingemissions building is one that is: - Highly #energyefficient, - #Free of #onsite emissions from #energy use, and - #Powered #solely from #cleanenergy.” https://lnkd.in/g2KivhrX

🏢 🏗 ⚡ 🍃 #Buildings contribute 37% of global greenhouse gas emissions from energy use and production processes, split between two parts: operational carbon (from energy used to heat, cool and run them), and embodied carbon, from material use and construction. While getting operational carbon down to net zero is feasible, the pathway to net zero for embodied carbon remains unclear. Research in Australia by Philip Oldfield, Professor Gerard Reinmuth and William Craft suggests that significant changes in design, construction, and reuse are crucial to address this challenge effectively. 💡 Read more about it in their piece for The Conversation Australia + NZ featured in Kathari.News Perspectives, a curated collection of views on the #energytransition ➡ https://lnkd.in/e7CvkqPi #NetZeroBuildings #NetZeroConstruction #Emissions

The European Union is introducing new regulations that will mandate the renovation of highly inefficient buildings. As part of the Green New Deal, the Union aims to increase energy efficiency standards, including the upcoming Zero Emission Standard for new constructions. Additionally, developers and asset managers must closely monitor other energy-saving targets for 2030 in both primary and final energy consumption across the EU. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞: ➡️ by 2030, a country's least efficient 16% of building stock must undergo renovation. While member states define measures to meet these goals, it's time to assess the portfolio. Identify inefficient buildings, diagnose potential issues, and consider conducting energy audits to prepare for upcoming regulations. Ready to adapt to these regulations? Connect with us to ensure your portfolio is prepared for the future! 💡🌱🏢 #EURegulations #GreenNewDeal #RealEstate #Sustainability #Renovation #EnergyEfficiency #ESG

Cheshire East Council believes it can pave the way by reaching net zero through its own operations by 2027 ✅ In a short video we’ve produced, council corporate energy manager Mahdi Choudhury talks about capital works funded through the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme and the importance of these projects for the local community. #cheshire #cheshireeastcouncil #psds #decarbonisation #netzero

Two of the ‘largest Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects in Europe’ are set to begin construction in Scotland, valued at £800 million. Coalburn 2 is situated in South Lanarkshire, adjacent to CIP’s existing Coalburn 1 BESS project, and Devilla is situated in Fife, near the town of Kincardine.

Approximately two-thirds of UK homes have an EPC rating of D or below, meaning that much of the heat generated is wasted. To reach net zero, virtually all heat in buildings must be decarbonised by 2050. Section 4.4 of this article is a good read. https://lnkd.in/eYs_-tgc
