. The Danish group Rockwool in its seventh report on climate and environment analysed the current energy situation in Europe and highlighted the need for governments to develop environmentally friendly environmental policies. The company also outlined some measures that can be applied to buildings in order to reduce energy consumption.According to the report, buildings are responsible for 40% of energy consumption in Europe and the USA.
Eelco van Heel, CEO of the Rockwool group, says the fight against climate change starts at home. He adds that the idea is to build attractive, affordable and energy-efficient buildings that do not consume 40% of our energy.
According to the studies of Ecofys, a consulting company in the field of renewable energies, and the Technical University of Denmark, it is possible to make improvements in buildings in energy efficiency by 80%, which would allow a saving of 460 million tons of CO2 per year, a number similar to the total annual emissions in Italy.
According to a German study, the expenses of buildings built today, well insulated and efficient, are lower than those of constructions that have not been designed to be efficient.
