Deep mitigation strategies for the European building sector
Résumé
Buildings account for 36% of the energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the European Union (EU). The EU building sector will need to reduce its GHG by 60% by 2030 and fully decarbonize by 2050 to achieve the EU climate targets. Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) are commonly used to develop climate change mitigation scenarios. IAMs, however, have been mostly focusing on the energy supply-side system. Improved representation of end-use sectors, in particular buildings, is required to adequately assess demand-side interventions. Sectoral demand-side policies can make the climate transition faster and easier and contribute to achieving ambitious climate targets.
