2018 Will Be A Big Year For Green Building Design

The MIPIM real estate conference brought together 26,000 real estate, city, and political leaders, including 5,400 investors, from over 100 countries this week. Some of the participants have stated that there are big gains to be made in the energy efficiency of buildings to meet climate mitigation targets. How can we get there?

Charles Gourio, co-founder of the non-intrusive power monitoring system, Smart Impulse, summed up the next steps needed for successful global green building design.

“When we think about the future of green buildings, we have in mind brand new buildings that are both comfortable and highly energy efficient, taking into account the environmental criteria by design. However, the energy consumption that is user-related in these buildings (computers, air conditioning, etc.) continues to grow, and, in order to be really green, we need measurement and control technologies to be really simple for users and building managers. Otherwise, the future of green buildings will remain for the happy few.”

Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta Are Now Energy Companies. The Rest of the Enterprise World Needs to Catch Up.

Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta Are Now Energy Companies. The Rest of the Enterprise World Needs to Catch Up.

Amazon, Meta, Google, and Microsoft are pioneering the transition from merely purchasing clean energy to actively building energy infrastructure. By 2025, these companies will be responsible for 49% of global clean power purchase agreement volumes. This shift necessitates a paradigm change for other enterprises sharing the grid with them.

  • 01Tech giants are significantly investing in energy infrastructure.
  • 02By 2025, they will own nearly half of global clean power purchase agreements.
  • 03Other enterprises must adapt to coexist with these energy initiatives.
