The Energy Transitions Committee (ETC), comprised of representatives from industrial and energy sectors, have concluded that industry does have the capacity to reduce emissions and help to combat climate change. Heavy industrial sectors like steel, chemicals, cement, aluminium, and aviation face some of the largest challenges in cutting their carbon emissions. These sectors account for almost one third of total global CO2 emissions, with the amounts still increasing, just as other sectors are working hard

It is well documented that the world has already surpassed 1°c rise since 1850 and now the summary of the report suggests that
What are SBEM Calculations? The standards for energy efficiency are becoming increasingly stringent, posing a challenge for developers and property builders.
