White Paper on Clean Heating & Cooling Technologies and Thermal Energy Storage for Buildings (2024)
Report
Costa Pereira, C. (2024). White Paper on Clean Heating & Cooling Technologies and Thermal Energy Storage for Buildings. Implementation Working Group on Energy Efficiency in Buildings (IWG5)

The built environment is responsible for 35% of the greenhouse gas emissions and 85% of the buildings in Europe are older than 25 years. It is therefore a big task to reach a 100% renewable heated and cooled built environment. This White Paper descri...
