“It’s never been more clear that America has two kinds of housing — in buildings that are prepared for climate change, and in buildings that are not,” Ken Levenson said. “And now the data shows that we can build multi-family, all-electric housing that can help residents face the challenges of the 21st Century at the same cost or less than traditional buildings. This is how we build smart, and it should be standard building practice throughout America.
The problem is that much of the energy used to heat and cool buildings is wasted because of inefficient equipment, poor insulation, drafty windows and doors, and other factors. Existing technologies can deliver significant energy and cost savings and other benefits, the IEA says, “but stronger policy support such as minimum performance standards and building energy codes will be required to put the buildings sector on track with the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario.
