White Paper Terraflow GmbH: Building Decarbonization

Given that buildings are responsible for almost 40% of global CO2 emissions, efforts to reduce their carbon footprint are crucial to achieving international climate goals. One of the most important approaches to decarbonizing buildings is to improve energy efficiency. By improving the energy performance of buildings, energy consumption for heating and cooling can be significantly reduced, resulting in lower emissions. The integration of renewable energy sources into building design is another important aspect. Solar panels, wind turbines and geothermal systems supply buildings directly with sustainable energy, reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Incorporating renewable energy not only reduces CO2 emissions, but also improves energy security and lowers long-term operating costs. The introduction of intelligent building technologies can further optimize energy consumption. Modern sensors and automation systems make it possible to monitor and control energy consumption in real time. The decarbonization of buildings is an indispensable part of the global strategy to combat climate change.
