Clara Camarasa's article, "The Energy Efficiency Policy Package: Key Catalyst for Building Decarbonisation and Climate Action", recently published on Archdaily, highlights the role of energy efficiency policies in achieving building decarbonisation.

Buildings and construction contribute significantly to global energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Energy efficiency measures, backed by regulations, information dissemination, and incentives, are pivotal to lower energy demand, reduce emissions, and enhance indoor and outdoor air quality. IEA's Net Zero Scenario includes energy efficiency milestones that can be reached through building envelope improvements, efficient appliances, and clean technologies, to achieve a substantial reduction in carbon emissions. To support these goals, the IEA's Buildings Energy Efficiency Policy Package offers guidelines for governments to implement effective energy efficiency policies and actions.
