Energy and Atmosphere
能源与大气
Buildings rely on energy for many functions, including electricity and heating, cooling, and ventilation (HVAC) systems.
建筑运行依赖能源,包括电力以及采暖、制冷、通风(暖通空调 HVAC)系统。
When buildings use gas, oil, and other fossil fuels for energy, there are steep economic, social, and environmental costs.
当建筑使用燃气、石油等化石燃料供能时,会带来高昂的经济、社会与环境成本。
Why it matters:
重要意义:
Worldwide, buildings account for 30% of total energy consumption.
Burning fossil fuels to produce energy also generates emissions that contribute to climate change.
How Energy and Atmosphere strategies can help:
能源与大气策略的作用:
Green buildings start by reducing energy use through better design or energy retrofits. Focusing on efficiency first allows projects to maximize their impact.
- 绿色建筑首先通过优化设计或节能改造降低能耗;坚持能效优先原则,实现效益最大化。
Green buildings maintain low energy use over time by tracking energy use and verifying that all building systems are installed and maintained as intended.
- 绿色建筑通过能耗监测,核验所有系统按设计安装与运维,长期维持低能耗水平。
Further progress toward decarbonization is made by electrifying building systems and optimizing how projects interact with the power grid.
- 通过建筑系统电气化、优化项目与电网的联动,进一步推进脱碳目标。
Green buildings produce and/or procure clean, renewable energy.
