Buildings constructed today are likely to dictate city and town development and consumption patterns for decades to come. Buildings consume more energy than any other sector. Moreover, they play an important role in protecting people from natural and manmade hazards. Therefore, buildings are one of the logical points to start building sustainable cities: cities that are resilient, environmentally sound, economically productive and socially inclusive.
