Energy EFFICIENCY in Buildings
In the Caribbean, the building industry consumes 36% of the total energy, primarily driven by commercial activities. Enhancing building energy efficiency is pivotal in combating climate change, yet obstacles persist, such as decreasing reliance on air conditioning and fostering renewable energy adoption. It’s imperative to exchange regional best practices to propel progress.
Building Energy Efficiency Regulation for the Beneft of Caribbean Countries : Guadeloupe Case Study
In the Eastern Caribbean, building energy efficiency is crucial but hindered by diverse standards and a lack of skills. To advance, an integrated approach involving policies, experts, and local industry is needed, with the OECS developing tailored building codes and Guadeloupe sharing its expertise through a guide to to enlighten policymakers on the challenges of formulating building energy efficiency policies.
