Azerbaijan has partnered with the International Finance Corporation to create a green building roadmap, focusing on sustainable urban development, energy efficiency, and eco-friendly materials, in alignment with global efforts to reduce emissions and promote climate resilience.
The 2024 UN-Habitat report highlights the crucial role of energy-efficient buildings in helping cities adapt to and mitigate climate change while supporting vulnerable populations and promoting sustainability.
In the project CommitClimate, cities develop, test and deploy a computer-based simulation model to create sustainable energy and climate action plans to reduce carbon footprint.
CIRCULAR BIOCARBON's third City Interest Group webinar will explore the potential of transforming biowaste into valuable bio-based materials, moving beyond more mainstream energy applications, and with a particular focus on urban and regional bioeconomies.
The 2024 BSO update provides granular data on residential and service buildings regarding their energy consumption, associated GHG emissions, activity in the building sector and socio-economic aspects. To address challenges in data availability and harmonisation, the recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive asks Member States to set up national databases for the energy performance of buildings and to transfer information to the BSO annually. By supporting transparency and informing policy, the BSO aims to monitor energy performance trends and promote sustainable practices to achieve a zero-emission EU building stock by 2050.
This iPHA member webinar will last approximately 90 minutes and is worth 2 Passive House Continuous Education (CEPH) credit points.
How to accelerate local energy transition by supporting municipal authorities.
The latest index reveals that the EU buildings sector is significantly off track to meet its 2030 and 2050 climate goals. Overall, the four key indicators of the EU BCT – CO2 emissions reduction, final energy consumption, renewable energy share and renovation investments – are over 40% away from the necessary decarbonisation pathway.
CapitaLand adopts biophilic design and nature-based solutions to create sustainable, cooler buildings, enhancing wellbeing and reducing the urban heat island effect in tropical Singapore.
The built environment, responsible for 40% of global carbon emissions, can decarbonise through greener materials, efficient designs, sustainable practices, and circular construction, driven by innovation, collaboration, and updated regulations.
