In order to achieve this, greater public awareness of the importance of energy efficiency is required. In the short term, new efficient domestic appliances, building technologies, legislation quantifying building plant performance, and improved building regulations to include installed plant will be required. Continuing these improvements in the longer term is likely to see the adoption of small-scale renewable technologies embedded in the building fabric. Internet-based energy services could deliver low-cost building energy management and control to the mass market enabling plant to be operated and maintained at optimum performance levels and energy savings quantified. There are many technology options for improved energy performance of the building fabric and energy systems and it is not yet clear which will prove to be the most economic. Therefore, flexibility is needed in legislation and energy-efficiency initiatives. 12 Energy Policy 36 ARTICULO Clarke, Joseph A. 40631 Johnstone, Cameron M. 40632 Kelly, Nicolas J. 40633 Construcción 4622 Eficiencia energética 40627 169340 169340 0 0 0 0 237159 BAAB BAAB 2026-03-05 200044139 0 200044139 2026-03-05 15:11:32 2026-03-05 ARTICULO
