What if technology allowed buildings to manage themselves, guaranteeing greater energy efficiency, enhanced comfort, and improved health while quickly paying for themselves through savings on bills? This is already happening—smart buildings are a reality, with various projects demonstrating their advantages.
The document highlights the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from buildings through retrofitting, addressing challenges such as high costs, data gaps, and technical issues, while exploring opportunities in innovation and policy to meet net-zero targets by 2050.
