Abstract
AbstractThe aims of German energy and climate policy are ambitious: by 2050, emissions of greenhouse gases should be reduced by at least 80 %, ideally by 95 % compared to 1990. In addition, there are the decisions of the Paris Climate Accord, which intends to limit global warming to considerably less than 2°, better to 1.5°. The building sector as is known plays an important role in the energy transition. The transformation of the building industry and its thermal consumption is of decisive importance for the energy transition as a whole. A study recently commissioned by the alliance for building energy efficiency (geea), the German energy agency (dena) and further industry associations with the title ”Scenarios for a market‐based climate and resources policy 2050 in the building sector“ [1] shows clearly that the ”business as usual“ strategy will not suffice in order to even near the climate protection aims in the building sector. The scientific processing was undertaken by the ewi Energy Research & Scenarios, the institute for building services Dresden (ITG Dresden) and the research institute for thermal insulation (FIW Munich). The scope of this article only deals with the share of residential buildings.
