Public building toolbox for municipal energy efficiency implementation
The building sector accounts nearly for 40% of the global energy consumption, with an increasing tendency in the last few years in developing countries. As population and developing economies grow, the average floor area per household and the demanded thermal comfort (especially when it comes to air conditioning) do, which leads to a severe expected average building consumption increase. Some […]
