Buildings use energy for space heating and cooling, water heating, lightings, refrigeration, and to power variety of electronics and buildings servicing equipment. In the U.S., total energy consumption in buildings is more than one-third of total primary energy consumption and they emitting annually about 2.5 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide that is more than twice of the total emissions of India and two-thirds of the total emissions of China (Sources: Energy Information Administration, International Energy Annual 2002). Just residential real estate consumes nearly 40 percent of total U.S. energy, and two-thirds of electricity consumption in offices and commercial buildings. By 2025, residential energy consumption is to increase by 25 percent; use of energy in commercial building will likely increase by 40 percent. We spend annually nearly $300 billion to fuel and power buildings and this numbers are rising because our new homes are 26 percent larger than the existing houses. Clothes washers and dishwashers are standard appliances in most households and demand for energy to air conditioning houses is increasing. In addition to that, the trend to double the floor space in commercial buildings has increased. As the result of increased saturation of office’ equipment like computers, copiers, and fax machines has increased of 20 percent energy intensity (energy use per square foot) and these trends will to continue. Fortunately, currently available central air conditioners are more than 50 percent efficient than the current units are and new windows save roughly 45 percent of energy to compare to standard double-paned windows. The explosion of personal computers and electronics industry has also contribute to the trends in energy demand; it is not uncommon for a family to have several computers in their home, and many of these are left running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Energy use for personal computers, copiers, and other office equipment over the next two decades is to increase by 4 percent annually; new technologies consuming energy i.e. telecommunications and medical equipment are emerging on the consumers’ market every day. For that reason, energy efficiency remains an imperative factor. |
