According to the International Energy Agency, buildings account for some 41 percent of global energy savings potential by 2035, compared with the industrial sector (24 percent) and the transport sector Buildings are one of the main causes of the emission of greenhouse gases in the world. Europe alone is responsible for more than 30% of emissions, or about 900 million tons of CO2 per year.

Policies and strategies for new and existing buildings. Buildings are the top energy user in most cities, accounting for approximately 50-75% of citywide energy use.1 With energy efficiency policies that reduce such energy use, cities can increase economic opportunities for residents, make progress toward environmental goals and outcomes, and improve energy affordability. In particular, building energy consumption accounts for more than 30% of China's total energy consumption (Yu et al. A systematic literature review revealed that, though the majority of scientific papers emphasize the importance of appliances and new technologies, human behavior in this area is not less significant. This includes a whole building approach—not just looking at equipment, but the design and employee culture within the business. In relation to gross domestic product (GDP), Serbia uses six times more energy than Germany, with buildings accounting for almost forty per cent of energy consumption. In this book, decisions on energy consumption by private households are examined. The analyses are based on several empirical methods. The energy consumption of public building is huge, and the consumption from air conditioning is the major contributor which accounts about 50% of the total construction energy consumption.
The introduction of these new energy efficiency practices then makes it possible to reduce energy consumption by about 50%, with additional investment costs of less than 10%. Energy consumption in indoor swimming pool buildings is very high on account of high indoor air temperatures, increased ventilation heat losses and the energy-intensive water technology.
