If you want to find major emitters of global carbon dioxide, look no further than your cityβs skyline. Buildings account for more than one-third of all final energy consumption and half of global electricity use. And theyβre responsible for approximately one-third of global carbon emissions.
According to the International Energy Agency, energy consumption in buildings needs to be reduced by 80Β % by 2050 if we want to limit the worldβs temperature rise to under 2Β Β°C. But now thereβs a solution to making our building stock more energy-efficient. Hereβs introducing the new ISO 52000 series of standards!
With ISOΒ 52000-1, Energy performance of buildings β Overarching EPB assessment β PartΒ 1: General framework and procedures, as its leading document, the ISOΒ 52000 family will accelerate energy efficiency in the worldβs building market. From heating, cooling, ventilation and smart controls, to energy-using or -producing appliances, the series will help architects, engineers and regulators assess the energy performance of new and existing buildings in a holistic way β without overheating budgets β as the temperature rises.
