Transition element release 2021-06-29

We released a couple of new Transition elements which you now have access to in your ClimateBoard. Click on any of them in the list below to find out more:

 

Heating multi-family residential buildings with renewable solid biofuels

Description: Oil boilers in homes are being replaced by biofuel boilers that are fuelled by, for example, wood or wood pellets.

Target type: Shifting the mechanism of operation

Sector: Buildings energy use

 

Heating non-residential industrial buildings with renewable solid biofuels

Description: Oil boilers are being replaced by biofuel boilers that are fuelled by, for example, wood or wood pellets.

Target type: Shifting the mechanism of operation

Sector: Buildings energy use

 

Heating non-residential public buildings with renewable solid biofuels

Description: Oil boilers are being replaced by biofuel boilers that are fuelled by, for example, wood or wood pellets.

Target type: Shifting the mechanism of operation

Sector: Buildings energy use

 

Heat pumps in multi-family residential buildings

Description: Heat pumps for domestic heating provide heat efficiently with zero emissions and a low lifecycle cost. They can also provide cooling. Switching to low carbon heating must be done alongside energy efficiency, so as to size the new heating system properly and guarantee high-performing, low-energy systems.

Target type: Shifting the mechanism of operation

Sector: Buildings energy use

Energy efficient multi-family residential buildings (Retrofitting)

Description: Improving the energy efficiency in existing buildings has a direct impact on emissions, either by reducing emissions from boilers or by reducing electricity consumption. This can be achieved by improving the fabric efficiency in walls and lofts as well as improved glazing. Insulating hot water tanks and pipes, installing hot water thermostats, low-energy lighting and highly efficient appliances also help reduce energy consumption.

Target type: Increasing efficiency

Sector: Buildings energy use
