The shift to a low carbon built environment will require both a step change in the energy performance of buildings alongside more efficient provision of energy services, and a massive decarbonisation of the energy used. By introducing a new approach which seeks to describe the drivers of the demand for energy, its sources and fuels, services and uses, practices and norms, across the interacting sectors and actors within the built environment, the emerging field of energy epidemiology has been defined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, to support the development, implementation and on-going evaluation of energy demand policy, a strong evidence base is needed to identify associations and establish underlying causes behind outcomes and variations in end-use energy demand within the population. IEA EBC Annex 70<\/a> focuses on the analyses of real building energy use at scale and the emerging field of building energy epidemiology, which seeks to develop robust approaches to such analyses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of this Annex is to support member countries in the task of developing realistic transition pathways to dramatic reductions in energy use and carbon emissions associated with their buildings by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
