T-4B1b-TE-2 - Shift to district cooling in public buildings

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: .

District cooling is an efficient way of generating and distributing cooling, allowing for a broad range of energy sources while utilising its large scale.

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.
