The World Economic Forum emphasizes that these approaches are necessary to reduce carbon emissions and the overall cost of running a building. Buildings can achieve low or zero carbon readiness by reducing (or eliminating) energy generated from fossil fuels, using renewable energy, reducing refrigerants with high global warming potential, and incorporating low-carbon, reused or recycled energy materials into construction.\u00a0<span>Energy efficiency saves energy supply costs and reduces future network infrastructure costs.\u00a0<\/span><span>Passive measures such as better insulation and high-efficiency appliances can reduce overall electricity consumption. Real-time data and analytics also enable energy efficiency and flexibility in building requirements.\u00a0<\/span><span>Energy-smart buildings can save up to 15 % of energy through basic automated control, with demand-controlled ventilation saving a further 10 %. Building systems integration can deliver incremental energy savings of up to 18 % compared to basic HVAC and lighting controls. In addition, efficient buildings with an interactive grid can reduce energy costs by up to 20 % through active demand management.
