T-4B1a-TE-9 - Energy efficient new Commercial Buildings
Background¶
IPCC WG3 definition: .
New commercial buildings can be constructed using the latest energy-saving technologies, aiming to achieve zero emissions or even negative emissions.
Sustainability Category: Green¶
This transition element substantially contributes to climate change mitigation through significant greenhouse gas reductions, carbon sequestration, or enabling the transition to net-zero emissions. The transition element aligns with science-based pathways to limit global warming and should be prioritized for investment and expansion.
