Abstract

The buildings sector contributes to 30% of annual greenhouse gas emissions and uses about 40% of energy. In this scenario and regarding the sustainable concerns, different strategies and directives have been developed. However, this consumption can be reduced by between 30% and 80% through commercially available technologies.
