ABSTRACT
In this chapter, tables categorizing and summarizing the technologies available to reduce energy use in buildings, summarizing all quantitative references in this book to energy savings potential, and summarizing all quantitative references to costs are presented. We then return to the question that motivates this book: Can energy use in new and existing buildings be reduced to levels low enough, in the context of future population growth and in the growth of floor area per capita, such that the remaining energy use can eventually be met by renewable sources of energy? In other words, is sustainability in the buildings sector feasible?
