Energy use in buildings: Use it better,
use it less

Subject: In Europe 40% of our energy use is consumed in buildings,
more than by industry or transport. That is a lot. It is too much.
There is great potential for energy savings in this field, often
at little cost. A new European directive contributes to improving
the energy performance of buildings. It provides, for example,
for: the application of minimum standards of energy efficiency to
buildings in every country in the EU; the creation of a
certificate to inform buyers or tenants of the energy performance
of the building they hope to occupy; the posting in large,
frequented, public buildings of energy performance certificates
for information.
