Promote the Deep Path, a transformational change agenda, enabling reduction of thermal energy demand from buildings. Other Information:
In order to reach the best possible abatement potential of the building sector, we promote the Deep Path, a transformational
change agenda, enabling a 80% global reduction of thermal energy demand from buildings by 2050, representing over 2.1 Gt of
CO2 avoided. Our research proves that it is technologically and economically feasible to reduce the total energy required
for providing thermal comfort in buildings by nearly one third by 2050, compared to 2005 levels, despite an increase in floor
area of nearly 130%. Implementing the Deep Path requires today's state-of-the-art building energy policies to be optimized
in regional jurisdictions towards net zero energy targets for new buildings and deep renovation for existing buildings. To
reach this goal, we help decision-makers to design ambitious policy packages integrating:
