The construction and built environment sector accounts for 37% of Ireland´s carbon emissions.The roadmap assesses the impact of the construction and built environment in Ireland across the whole life cycle. More than a third (14%) comes from manufacture, transport and installation of building materials themselves, which is called "embodied carbon".

The topic investigated in the year 2022 addressed education and upskilling. To reach the EU targets, the building sector must deliver a smarter, more flexible and resilient data-driven built environment. The built environment is increasingly embracing digital technologies, including control and automation systems, and as such is paving the way to smarter ways of managing our buildings and wider infrastructures.

The topic investigated in 2022 addressed the smartness to reduce environmental impacts. The way we live in the built environment needs to become more sustainable - and even go beyond sustainability, towards “regenerative” buildings that will both restore and improve the natural environment (and humans likewise). Most of the environmental impacts of buildings are generated during the operation phase, the main impacts being on energy use (fossil fuels) and climate change.

The topic investigated in year 2022 addressed Responsive end-user. Occupant behaviour has proven to significantly impact the energy consumption and indoor environment of buildings. The uncertainty caused by occupant behaviour accounts for a significant discrepancy between predicted and actual energy consumption, which can often reach 30%.
