On average, we spend approximately 90 percent of our time indoors, yet many of the buildings in which we live and work are harming our health, wasting energy, and deepening the climate crisis. We can retrofit and build more efficient buildings that will help address the climate crisis and deliver additional benefits including public health improvements, equity, and jobs. Homes, apartments, and commercial buildings constructed today will last for generations, making our choices now even more important. Challenges, opportunities, strategies, and policy tools for decarbonizing our buildings are detailed below.
