About this report
The report, 'Energy Efficiency in Buildings: Business Realities and Opportunities' summarizes the first year's work of the Energy Efficiency in Buildings (EEB) project - a WBCSD project co-chaired by Lafarge and United Technologies Corporation. It presents a picture of the challenge of energy use in buildings and a preliminary, high-level approach to addressing that challenge. A breakthrough market research study was commissioned to measure the stakeholder perceptions of sustainable buildings around the world. This report presents the outcomes of the study along with findings from existing research and stakeholder dialogues during hearings, workshops, and forums.
