Buildings and heat pumps in Energy Technology Perspectives 2010.

Author(s) : TAYLOR M.

Type of article: Article, Review

Summary

The buildings sector has an important role to play in the BLUE Map scenario's overall goal of a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050. Energy efficiency options are available in the buildings sector that can reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions from lighting, appliances and heating and cooling equipment rapidly and at often at low cost. The end-uses of space heating and cooling dominate energy consumption in OECD buildings, while cooling will be a major source of energy demand growth in developing countries. Heat pumps are a particularly important abatement option and are a key part of the solution for buildings in the BLUE Map scenario.
