Finland and the European Union aim to reduce CO2 emissions by 80–100% before 2050. This requires drastic changes in all emissions-generating sectors. In the building sector, all new buildings are required to be nearly zero energy buildings.

A Numerical Method for Solving Global Irradiance on the Facades of Building Stocks
Due to the influence of surrounding buildings on the radiation transfer process, the irradiance of individual buildings in building stocks is more uneven and different than that of individual buildings in open spaces.

To build or not to build? Capital stocks and climate policy∗ [PDF]
Abstract We investigate (i) the impact of emission reduction policy on investment in polluting infrastructure, such as coal-fired power stations and (ii) optimal subsidies for “clean” alternatives with “learning” spillovers. We build a general theoretical model, and embed it in a fully calibrated integrated assessment model.

Parametric Stock Flow Modelling of Historical Building Typologies
While the construction sector is a major consumer of new raw materials, it also contributes largely to waste generation. Therefore, improved estimates of demolition waste and the identification of components and materials for reuse or recycling are an ...
