How much energy can we save globally by making our buildings efficient? Towards a factor 4 policy for buildings 9 December 2009 Copenhagen Jens Laustsen, Senior Policy Analyst for Efficiency in Buildings, International Energy Agency IEA Key messages • Energy efficiency is a critical part of a sustainable energy future • Buildings energy use can be reduced dramatically alone with existing solutions • A reduction to ¼ of BAU in 2050 is rational and economic reasonable (Factor 4) • IEA 25 recommendations provide direction high emphasis on buildings • W.I.N = World-wide Implementation Now © OECD/IEA, 2009 – Energy efficiency – critical part of sustainable energy future Buildings: Can deliver large reductions in CO2 emissions at low costs © OECD/IEA, 2009 Mtoe What the world needs!

IEA study in progress © OECD/IEA, 2009 Study on Energy Efficient Buildings If best practice examples and policies were implemented global and fast: • Energy use for buildings (heating, cooling, ventilation and hot water) could be reduced far beyond 50 % • 75 % reduction compared to BAU would be both possible and rational • Book to document this will be out early 2010 (9 different religions) • Such and implementation of energy efficiency in buildings would have massive impact on: • • • • • • • Global energy use, Security of supply, CO2 emissions, Global health, World economy, Investments in supply, Will create millions of new jobs • Increased research and deployment increase this potential World reduction end use 120000 100000 80000 Savings Com 60000 Savings Res 40000 Commercial 20000 Residential © OECD/IEA, 2009 2050 2040 2030 2020 2010 2000 1990 1980 1970 0 can Conclusions • Energy efficiency in buildings is www: • Consumers win because they get lower fuel costs and lower total costs over time, increased comfort • Business wins because it creates activities and new jobs locally • Governments win because it implements climate policy goals, improves security of supply, improves economy and health • Potential is enormous • Can contribute substantially to climate abatement policies • A reduction with factor 3 or 4 is possible alone with known solutions • Policies exist but need larger scope and global implementation • Many barriers to overcome • EE in buildings is cost efficient and it will save large investments and costs in supply • EE in buildings will have many additional benefits: health, security of supply, creation of employment • 25 IEA recommendations endorsed by the G8 and large developing countries • We need W.I.N • World-wide Implementation Now Much more can be done – both in new and existing buildings © OECD/IEA, 2009 Thank you For more information buildings and recommendations: • • www.iea.org www.iea.org/G8/2008/G8_EE_recommendations.pdf Contact: [email protected] © OECD/IEA, 2009
