Buildings are responsible for 70 per cent of the global electricity consumption. Green building technologies can reduce this environmental footprint significantly, but a lack of reliable information about available technologies is holding back adoption.
To address this market need, Lux Research on Sept 25 announced a collaboration with Professor Richard Freeman, supporting Harvard Center for Green Buildings and Cities (HCGBC) in developing a database of green building innovations. Richard Freeman holds the Herbert Ascherman Chair in Economics at Harvard University, directs the National Bureau of Economic Research / Sloan Science Engineering Workforce Projects, and is a Co-Director of the HCGBC.
In order to create this database, Lux Research will draw on its extensive knowledge of the green buildings space including 300 companies under its coverage, as well as its recently launched Green Buildings Tracker, a comprehensive database of floor-space compliant with 19 major green building standards across 95 countries.
“Understanding how innovative Green Building technologies can help mitigate challenges posed by rapid urbanization will advance the global construction industry and inform prominent city policymakers” said Dennis Philbin, CEO of Lux Research. “We are delighted to use this collaboration with HCGBC to bring the best research on Green Buildings and Smart Cities to a broader audience.”
