5 Startups Leading the Decarbonization of Heating and Cooling of Buildings
Buildings account for nearly 40% of global energy use, with heating, cooling, and hot water production making up roughly half of total building energy consumption. These end uses represent major opportunities to reduce energy demand, enhance energy security, and cut CO₂ emissions. Energy conservation and efficiency remain the fastest and most cost-effective paths to […]
Environmental Challenges from Heating and Cooling of Buildings
Across the world, most buildings continue to depend on fossil fuels like natural gas for heating, driving a significant share of global greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change is reversing traditional energy use patterns, reducing heating demand while sharply increasing the need for cooling. By 2050, nearly every region will face extreme heat events that […]
