>> SEAN ESTERLY: Welcome to today's webinar hosted by the Clean Energy Solutions Center

Adverbs of degree

and the International Energy Agency. Today we're very fortunate to have Didier Houssin

and Marc LaFrance joining us. Our speakers will focus on IEA's Energy Efficient Building

And one important note I've mention before we begin our presentation is that the Clean

Energy Solutions Center does not endorse or recommend specific products or services. Information

provided in this webinar is featured in the Solutions Center’s resource library as one

of many best practices resources reviewed and selected by technical experts.

And I just want to go over some of the options for audio in today's go to webinar. So the

audio you have two option. You may either listen through your computer or over your

telephone. And if you choose to listen to your computer, please select the "mic and

speakers" option in the audio pane. Doing this will just eliminate any feedback and

echo and if you select the telephone option, a box on the right side will display the telephone

number and an audio PIN that you should use to dial in. And panelists you just have to

please mute your audio device when you're not presenting. And if anyone has a technical

difficulty through the webinar, you may contact or go to webinars Help Desk and that phone

number is at the bottom of the slide, that is 888-259-3826.

And we encourage all attendees to submit any questions that they might have throughout

the webinar. You may do that by submitting the question through the question pane and

that is in the go to webinar window and if does anyone have any difficulty viewing the

materials through the webinar portal, you will find PDF copies of the presentations

at http://cleanenergysolutions.org/training and you can follow along with the speakers

present. Also an audio recording in the presentation will be posted to the Solutions Center training

We have a great agenda prepared for you today that is focused on the Energy Efficient Building

Envelope Technology Roadmap detailed and strategies and actions to transform the way building

has constructed by 2050. Now before our speakers begin their presentations, I'll provide a

short informative overview of the Clean Energy Solutions Initiative and then following the

presentations we will have a question after session where I will present any questions

from the audience through the panelist and then we'll wrap with closing in a very brief

Now this slide provides a bit of background in terms of how the Solution Center came to

be. Solution Center is an initiative of the Clean Energy Ministerial and then supported

to a partnership with UN Energy. It was launched in April of 2011 and is primarily led by Australia,

the United States and other CEM partners. So outcome to this unique partnership includes

support of developing countries, the enhancement of resources on policies relating to

energy access, no cost expert policy assistance and peer to peer learning and training tools

such as the webinar you are attending today.

So there are four primary goals of the Solution Center. Served as a clearinghouse of clean

energy policy resources. Also serve to share policy best practices, data, and analysis

tools specific to clean energy policy and programs and the Solutions Center deliver

dynamic services that enabled expert assistance, learning, and peer to peer sharing of experiences

and then lastly the center foster dialogue on emerging policy issues and innovation across

the globe. So our primary audience is energy policy makers and analysts from governments

and technical organizations in all countries. And then we also strive to engage for the

Now, one of the marking features that the Solution Center provides is its expert policy

assistance. This is known as it Ask an Expert and it's a valuable service operative in the

Solution Center at zero costs. So we have established a broad team of over 30 experts

from around the globe who are available to provide remote policy advice and analysis

to all countries. For example in the area of buildings we're very pleased to have Cesar

Treviño, Leader of the Mexico Green Building Council serving as our expert. So if you have

a need for a policy assistance on building or any other Clean Energy sector, we encourage

Again, this assistance is provided free of charge. So to request assistance, you may

submit your request by registering through our Ask an Expert feature at http://cleanenergysolutions.org/expert.

We also invite you to spread the word about this service to those in your networks and

organizations. So, in summary we encourage you to explore and take advantage of the Solutions

Center resources and services including the expert policy assistance, subscribed to our

newsletter and participate in webinars like this.

And now I'd like to provide a brief introduction for our expert panelists today. Our first

speaker is Didier Houssin, the Director of Sustainable Energy Policy and Technology at

the International Energy Agency and then following Didier, we will hear from Marc LaFrance of

the International Energy Agency also known as Sustainable Policy and Technology Energy

Demand Unit and with those introductions, please join me in welcoming Didier to the

>> DIDIER HOUSSIN: Good morning everyone and I'd like welcome everyone to this webinar

and also I'd like to thank the Clean Energy Solutions Center and the National Renewable

Energy Laboratory for collaborating with us today to launch our new technology roadmap

for energy efficient building envelop. Achieving significant energy and due to emission reduction

in the building sector is a very ambitious goal. This publication wants to address the

fundamental challenges and opportunities to transform the way it was constructs and renovates

building. ETP 2012 as you can see on this chart identified the low carbon energy technology

that can help achieve the 50 percent reduction from today while avoiding all of the expected

increases. The most important option in both the short and the long term is improving energy

efficiency. Improved energy efficiency in the annual sectors accounts for 38 percent

of the total emissions reduction in 2050. Today's publication is focused on how to construction

buildings which is one of the largest factors impacting heating and cooling loads and for

most of the world, heating and cooling loads are the largest end users. Our next upcoming

ETP 2014 publication will be released this coming spring and it will focused an increase

use of keen electricity so for the building sector ETP 2014 will analyze greater tool

switching from gas boiler to heat pumps, the two regions in particular for China and [inaudible]

Let me come back to the global challenge. As you can see on this chart, has all end-use

sectors, buildings is the largest energy consumer accounting for 35 percent of total energy

used just before the industry and transport sectors. Policies try being to reduce energy

and fuel emission must address the growing energy needs of this sector. As you can see

on this chart, the breakdown of energy, the consumption in the building sector shows that

the share of electricity 28 percent and renewable including tradition biomass 30 percent.

>> SEAN ESTERLY: Sorry Didier. Okay, there you go, it's working, yup.

>> DIDIER HOUSSIN: The importance of the building sector it got obvious. It represents 1/3 of

carbon emissions and it is strongly correlated to its used of around 50 percent of the total

electricity consumption in the world, much of it from the burning of coal. The building

sector plays a vital role in the global economy and for instance in the global economy crisis

and stagnation described it has been to a logic sampling to the building sector collapse

in many countries such as Spain and Europe. Buildings remain in service for a very long

time in where they constructed inefficiently that lost opportunity will cause problems

the decade and even centuries to come. So getting construction right the first time

its fair amount along with the need to upgrade the existing building stock. The demands for

new building will continue to grow for quite sometime with increasing population and wealth
