For example,\u00a0 manufacturers globally have started to produce high\u2010efficiency LEDs,\u00a0and their share in global lighting sales has increased substantially in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&gt; Architecture&nbsp;solutions: <\/strong>Building and community design can&nbsp;significantly affect occupant comfort,&nbsp;demand for energy services, materials use and resulting sustainability of buildings. Passive building and community design measures are among the most efficient and effective ways to reduce operational energy demand for heating, cooling, and lighting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/media.biltrax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Picture1-1.png\" alt=\"sustainability in the building and construction sector\" class=\"wp-image-2514\" width=\"439\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"http:\/\/sh040.global.temp.domains\/~vitamind\/biltrax.mediacontent\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Picture1-1.png 752w, http:\/\/sh040.global.temp.domains\/~vitamind\/biltrax.mediacontent\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Picture1-1-300x234.png 300w, http:\/\/sh040.global.temp.domains\/~vitamind\/biltrax.mediacontent\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Picture1-1-400x312.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 439px) 100vw, 439px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>> Resilient\u00a0buildings:\u00a0 <\/strong>As extreme climate events and associated risks occur more frequently, building standards need to account for a range of new or increased\u00a0risks related to climate change,\u00a0such\u00a0as extreme temperatures or storm events. Under these conditions, a\u00a0resilient building is one that operates even when it, or the infrastructure around it, fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>> Urban\u00a0solutions:\u00a0<\/strong>Urban environments influence the size,\u00a0shape, and type of buildings that are built and how they respond to their surrounding environment through municipal governance, land use, and planning controls. Local government planning often has the power to directly control aspects related to building energy performance, including height and overshadowing,\u00a0 orientation,\u00a0building controls, and inspection, and requirements around access to energy and transport infrastructure.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>> Material\u00a0solutions:<\/strong> CO2\u00a0emissions\u00a0resulting from\u00a0material\u00a0use\u00a0in\u00a0buildings\u00a0account for\u00a028%\u00a0of the\u00a0annual\u00a0buildings related to\u00a0CO2\u00a0emissions. Due to this, countries are taking\u00a0actions to address direct emissions (e.g. from fossil fuel\u00a0combustion in buildings)\u00a0and indirect emissions (e.g. from electricity consumption). Thus, the relative\u00a0importance of embodied carbon in\u00a0the global buildings and construction carbon footprint is therefore increasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>> Clean\u00a0energy\u00a0transition:<\/strong>\u00a0Enabling the transition to a\u00a0sustainable buildings and construction sector will require swift and ambitious policy action to innovate and move markets quickly to low\u2010carbon and high\u2010efficiency technologies and best building practices. This will capture energy savings in the next decade and reduce the increasing impact that growing electricity demand has on the\u00a0power sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>> Circular\u00a0economy:<\/strong>\u00a0It is an approach where there is a continuous loop from the start to the end of life for products. In the buildings and construction sector, the inception of buildings at the design phase in a circular economy considers all aspects of the life of the building and its materials through the construction,\u00a0operation, and end of useful life.\u00a0To achieve the circular nature,\u00a0the end of life would be extended\u00a0through improved operations, maintenance,\u00a0refurbishment,\u00a0reuse and recycling of the building and building components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>References:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">\n\nI.
