The report provides insights into strategies and measures that companies are taking to halve the embodied carbon emissions, which refer to building materials and construction processes, by 2030. Hence, the focus is on how to achieve the system change that we need, following the idea of doing "more with less".

Covid-19, geopolitical instability, soaring energy and material prices are affecting the pace of the energy transition. The report explores risks and opportunities for the scaling up of clean energy technologies (e.g. solar panels, wind turbines, heat pumps, etc.) in the years to come, under the lens of energy security, resilience and sustainability. It can work as a global guidance for industries in clean technologies.

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%.
