EuroACEEuroACEEuroACEEuroACE’’’’s key messagess key messagess key messagess key messages

• Annual saving of up to 450 million tonnes of CO2 through building energy efficiency measures - more than 10% of 1990 emissions

• Implementation would create many jobs (estimated at 3.4 million job.years)

• Almost all building energy efficiency measures provide highly cost effective measures

• Measures undertaken during refurbishment are more cost effective

• In many instances the measures provide savings

• Technologies are available now

• Technologies are appropriate for new and existing

buildings - refurbishment of existing buildings is a

critically important step

• Energy savings could enhance the viability of

renewable energy generation technologies

• Measures are highly appropriate to an enlarged EU -

expanding eastwards - extreme climates and under-

insulated buildings

• Funded by International Energy Agency and EuroACE, carried out by the Association for the Conservation of Energy (ACE)

• Examined:

– potential for energy savings when refurbishing high-rise buildings;

– opportunities for and barriers to achieving that potential

• Covered 28 countries

• Recommended practical and policy solutions

• Focused on six case studies of real refurbishment projects in ‘old’ and ‘new’ EU countries and Russia

• Report, case studies and practical refurbishment ‘toolkits’being disseminated throughout all OECD countries

• One in six dwellings in Europe – 36 million – are in high-rise buildings; in some countries up to half the population live in them

• Average of 28% energy saving potential

• Annual CO2 reductions of 35 megatonnes

• Common solutions identified through transnational approach

• Results – including practical refurbishment resources – being widely disseminated
