Abstract :
[en] The presentation focuses on the pathways and solutions needed by various stakeholders and decision-makers to implement whole-lifecycle-based net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from buildings in policy and practice. This means achieving the ultimate goal of the Paris Agreement, which is to limit global warming to well below 2°C, above pre-industrial levels, by aiming to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 latest. In this context, 'Paris-goal compatible' technologies and solutions, including energy efficiency, renewable energy and storage, are presented. The presentation will explore the advances in science towards the transition of the building and real estate sector towards net-zero whole-life carbon, including low-carbon materials, heat pumps, smart grids and district heating and cooling. In parallel, issues of fuel poverty, well-being and thermal comfort in the MENA region will be explored. The presenter will seek an engagement and knowledge exchange with the attendees further to discuss the implementation potential of solutions into practice to promote and support the delivery of carbon neutral buildings at speed and scale.
