Among all sectors studied by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its Fourth Assessment Report, the building sector has the greatest potential to cost-effectively reduce GHG emissions (by 2020) based on commercially available technologies.

Further emissions reductions can be achieved by increasing renewable-energy (RE) use in buildings.
