Building Energy Performance Metrics (mesures de performance énergétiques) - Supporting Energy Efficiency Progress in Major Economies

Summary

This report provides a set of energy trends, changes and drivers of energy consumption (Population, GDP, Floor area, Energy and Households). Then it identifies opportunities for follow-on work and international collaboration that could improve understanding of progress in the future. Building energy metrics for new construction and for major building refurbishment are an important policy lever and a number of opportunities for further work and improvement of actual metrics. Priority activities include the improvement of data quality, the development of additional metrics, especially common metrics as well as modelling future energy use.
