What are Buildings of the Future?
Buildings consume about 30% of the world’s energy and account for almost 40% of annual CO2 emissions. To be sustainable, buildings need to change. To limit global warming to 1.5°C by 2050, as specified by the IPCC, we must work to decarbonize buildings.
Together with our EcoXpert partners, we are combatting these complex challenges with innovative solutions for a more sustainable future.
