The major increase in energy use and related CO2
emissions will come from the developing world due to rapid economic development, expanded access to
energy services and population growth. Global building floor area is projected to
increase by almost 127% by 2050 with most of this growth coming from
developing countries. How such an expansion will affect building energy use and
GHG emissions greatly depends on the energy performance of the buildings
constructed in the next 40 years, the energy used in these buildings, including
how energy will be utilized in these buildings. In developed countries the depth of
building renovation is most crucial, as the buildings that determine emissions
levels on a mass scale in 2050 already mostly exist
