Abstract

Over the past few decades, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of energy efficiency policies in designing buildings for supporting clean energy transitions. Buildings account for a significant share of global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, and improving their energy efficiency in the design phase can reduce energy use and emissions, while also providing numerous other benefits such as cost savings, improved comfort and health, and job creation. Many countries have already implemented energy efficiency policies in buildings, such as building codes, standards, labeling schemes, and financial incentives in addition to governmental regulations. Since the governments need fast solutions, these policies vary in scope and ambition depending on national priorities and circumstances, but they generally aim to promote the adoption of energy-efficient building designs and technologies, also encourage the retrofitting of existing buildings, and raise awareness and capacity among building owners, professionals, and the public. In this paper, a comparative analysis in energy consumption on the scale of the governmental saving effort that was adopted in three different countries to achieve better saving in the energy and electricity in buildings. Therefore, the main goal of this study is to quantitatively and analytically identify the buildings energy consumption and the solutions that was provided. As consequence the energy consumption and saving policies has affected the design principles in buildings to support the clean energy transition and the possibility to succeeded to create highly efficient buildings.
