Buildings and Usage
Buildings consume energy for heating, cooling, lighting, and appliances. Residential, commercial, and industrial buildings have different energy demands and profiles based on size, function, and occupancy. Heating, cooling and lighting systems make up a significant portion of total energy usage for most buildings, so efficiency savings in these areas can have large impacts generally. Appliances and equipment can vary considerably depending on the building type and usage. Smart building systems can optimise energy use through automation and monitoring. Insulation is a key factor in reducing the amount of energy required in the first place and renewable energy integration, such as rooftop solar panels can reduces reliance on external power sources for remaining use.
