New methodology reveals health, climate impacts of reducing buildings’ energy use

Increasing energy efficiency in buildings can save money — and it can also decrease the carbon emissions and air pollution that lead to climate change and health harms. But the climate and health benefits of reducing buildings’ energy consumption are rarely quantified. Now, researchers have developed a new method for calculating the health and climate impacts of these energy savings.
