BLUNOTE: THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROTOCOL.

in #bluenote6 years ago

Global warming caused by carbon emissions is both humanity’s greatest challenge, as well as an enormous financial opportunity.

Buildings cause over 30% of the world’s carbon emissions, making them the largest singular source of carbon emissions because they consume about 60% of global electricity. More than 70% of all buildings were built before the first energy crisis in the 1970’s, which creates an enormous market for improving their energy efficiency.
