Workshop 4 – Sustainable Energy for Building and Urban Environment

According to the International Energy Agency, the building sector is responsible for more than a third of the world’s final energy consumption. Indeed, this sector generates nearly 40% of CO2 emissions. In this context, sustainable energy in buildings must be further improved, especially in an overview at different scale. The different transfer modes must be further detailed as well as the optimization of the envelope and energy production systems from indoor air to the urban microclimate. In addition, in pandemics times, the residential building must be resilient and flexible according to the energy needs of the occupants and also to meet indoor air quality standards.
