Management of the international buildings unit at Ecofys (Energy and Carbon Efficiency Division, Cologne office).Owners of private, commercial and public buildings, as well as the buildings industry and policymakers, are facing one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. Rising energy prices and the urge to almost completely eliminate carbon emissions from the use of buildings not only requires incremental but radical changes. New concepts are needed that combine unseen efficiency with comprehensive renewable energy supply. The industry has to develop and supply suitable, innovative products and policy has to set adequate long-term strategies and boundary conditions.All buildings are concerned: residential and non-residential buildings, new buildings and refurbishment of existing buildings. The challenge is amplified by buildings developing into an integral part of future energy systems where they combine the function of using, producing and storing energy - as heat, cold or electricity. This highlights the fact that cities, countries and continents are in need of harmonised strategies for the next decades’ developments of energy supply systems and the building stock.Ecofys is the right partner to support all stakeholders in facing the challenge, as we know how to handle the complexity and develop solutions for today, tomorrow and the coming years. Our key strength is developing tailor made strategies for our clients that are based on sound facts and figures. We derive the relevant data from research and our innovative modelling of buildings, building stocks and energy systems.
