Abstract

As the planet faces the issues of climate change, it is now accepted that global warming will have a significant and threatening impact upon climate, which will have a significant impact upon nearly every aspect of economy, environment and society. It is also widely accepted that buildings contribute to as much as one third of total global greenhouse gas emissions (UNEP 2009), and this is primarily through the burning of fossil fuels in their operation, consuming up to 40 % of all energy. It is therefore a necessity that each nation seeks to make the reduction of green house gas emissions from buildings as part of their climate change strategy. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016.
