Annual Report 2025
"Improving the performance of new buildings and retrofitting existing ones is widely recognized as central to achieving global energy efficiency and climate goals. While the sector has shown encouraging signs, including a notable improvement in energy intensity over the past year, a critical reality gap remains: current policy trajectories still fall short of the sustained progress required for a net-zero pathway. This year’s Annual Report moves beyond statistics to highlight how the Energy in Buildings and Communities Technology Collaboration Programme (EBC TCP) is actively addressing these challenges. From relaunching the Building Energy Codes Working Group (BECWG) to tackle the global regulatory deficit to pioneering research on grid-integrated controls, the focus is shifting from isolated equipment upgrades to optimizing buildings as complete, intelligent systems."
