3 Draft of GABC/ Energy efficiency initiatives operators Yearbook Energy consumption in buildings and constructions represents 32% of the global energy consumption ahead of transport (27%) and industry (29%). Moreover, the buildings sector accounts for half of electricity consumption and contributes to 19% of the greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions worldwide. Because of a growing population, as well as structural changes in many economies, energy demand in buildings is expected to rise, as the global real estate is expected to double to reach over 180 billion m² by Furthermore, buildings will particularly be affected by the effects of climate change: flooding and seepages, reduction of the durability of building materials, increase in the risk of collapse all reducing building lifetime, and health-related risks. The buildings and construction sector still has to improve appropriate standards to adopt a universal decarbonisation target path (IEA, ETP 2016). Yet, many solutions are available, and the economic, health, and social benefits of sustainable buildings are significant, and have been demonstrated in most regions of the world. With early and efficient policies, the buildings and construction sector should therefore be more fully engaged in climate commitments. Actually, energy savings and relatedcarbon emission reductions that can be achieved through buildings represent a huge potential. Ambitious actions on buildings and construction, deep retrofit of existing buildings, ceiling of new buildings emissions, are possible to achieve global warming limitation. Ensuring access to a comfortable and healthy habitat, saving natural resources and emitting less GHG, is a challenge for all stakeholders. Governments are responsible for creating favorable conditions through regulations, fiscal or financial incentives, and strategies. Local authorities and private partners together are the key actors for a successful transition towards low-carbon real estate. Many commitments have been made, especially during the COP 21 in Paris. Many existing initiatives already target separately the mobilization of the players or local authorities. The Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction, in Climate Chance Forum, gathers major initiatives on sustainable buildings and energy efficiency in buildings to allow dialogue and create a common action. To this purpose, it appeared useful to provide clarity and visibility on initiatives intending to support local authorities in their action to decrease GHG footprint of the building sector. We hope to enrich and update it each year with more results and actions. 2

Following the EEB Lab, long-term action and coordination is driven by a local EEB platform. Actions address 4 key market conditions for unlocking financially viable EE investments that today are not being realized because of mostly nontechnical barriers (lack of awareness; policy framework; workforce capacity; financing models). EEB Laboratories generate action plans for overcoming such barriers in local markets that building sector and governments can work together to implement. Each action plan focuses on business-led actions that can create local profitable markets for ambitious EEB solutions. Local businesses then participate in forming an independent long-term EEB engagement platform that brings the value chain together to implement actions that create and improve such markets. Each EEB Laboratory will involve at least one company steering the effort with support from the city government, from scale partners that can help convene key stakeholders in the market and from knowledge partners that can bring in actionable information. The local initiatives will be coordinated by a local driver/coordinator resourced through the project for the day-to-day preparation of the EEB lab, writing of an action plan and coordination of the EEB action platform. This coordinator will be based in or associated with one of the partner organizations or designated from a local organization. In each location the EEB Market Transformation program is designed to be self-sustaining after two years. The coordinator steers a number of action committees that implement the action plan and identifies new local funding sources to continue the work beyond year 2. Funding combines Foundation Support, Public Contracts and Corporate Sponsoring The program is endorsed by the Sustainable Buildings & Construction Programme of the UN 10 Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production (10YFP SBC) and will be led by the WBCSD in partnership with other program partners, such as World Green Building Council, GABC partners, ICLEI, UNEP, BEA, Climate KIC etc. WBCSD EEB webpages: Energy Efficiency Toolkit for Buildings: your guide to making the business case for saving energy in your building portfolio Contacts Roland Hunziker, Director, Sustainable Buildings and Cities, hunziker@wbcsd.org, +41 (0) Delphine Garin, Manager, Sustainable Buildings, garin@wbcsd.org, +41 (0)
