Retrofitting buildings for energy efficiency

Buildings use 40% of the world’s energy and, on average, waste about 30% of that energy. The EU, Canada, over 20 US states and many other governments around the world have legislated that all buildings must be net zero by 2030. That means many older buildings will need to become smarter in the next few […]
