520 _aBrings together current information about green house gas emissions from buildings and the technical measures available for their reduction. Considers the use of energy in five phases of the building's life cycle, with particular emphasis given to the most energy-intensive operational phase. Highlights policies and tools applied to different countries to improve energy efficiency and case studies on initiatives to reduce energy use in buildings. Also considers the relevance of some national/international agreements to limit greenhouse gas emissions, such as the Kyoto Protocol. Concludes with recommendations.
