Global Energy Efficiency Studies

The IEA recently calculated that 25% of final global energy use could be eliminated through energy efficiency in existing buildings!

Following up on that, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) recently studied 1 trillion sq ft of data to estimate what might be accomplished by reducing energy demand and CO2 by jumping over three barriers: organizational, financial, and behavioral. The study is long, but quite revealing.
