Smart Buildings: Decarbonization and Smart Financing
Smart buildings are key to achieving decarbonization and other climate targets. This insight paper from Siemens Financial Services looks at a range of smart financing models that make this transformation possible and sustainable.
Key points from the research:
- Climate targets across the world are accelerating the implementation of smart, decarbonized, energy-efficient buildings.
- To meet climate change commitments, building stock requires significantly higher investment - around 3 times the current rate.
- This insight paper estimates the investment gap between current investment levels in energy-efficient renovation of existing buildings and those needed to achieve decarbonization targets.
- Smart financing can enable greater rates of investment in a financially sustainable way.
