 ====== Energy and ecology ======
+Buildings play a big role in climate protection and sustainability, as they are responsible for 35% of energy consumption worldwide. The carbon dioxide emissions caused by them are even increasing further, by around 1% per year according to the International Energy Agency.

 Climate change caused by humans is a threat to flora, fauna and our entire civilization. We must therefore reduce net greenhouse gas emissions to a sustainable amount. Possible future solutions in the building sector include zero-carbon / zero-emissions buildings, which are already required in some areas.
