On March 28, the World President of FIABCI will participate in the international conference Energy Efficiency in Buildings.
According to GABC research, the sector (buildings) accounts for 20% of CO2 emissions globally, and 60% of this is generated by electricity use and heating systems. At the same time, buildings are responsible for more energy consumption than any other sector. This is particularly evident given the extraordinary population growth and consequent increasing urbanization that ultimately result in an higher energy demand. The focus of this conference is therefore of great interest, since the improvement of energy efficiency in buildings generates several benefits, whether economic, social or environmental.
The organizer of the conference is Property Georgia, Co-Organizer- Center for Innovative Business Solutions.
