Top 30 Companies Accelerating Decarbonization in Global Homes and Buildings Industry


Digital Tools and Business Model Reinvention are Keys to Success for Decarbonization Strategies

Buildings account for approximately 35% of global energy consumption and contribute about 40% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Reducing these emissions is crucial for mitigating climate change and achieving international climate targets. Beyond environmental imperatives, decarbonizing buildings offers substantial economic benefits, including lower operational costs through energy efficiency, increased property values, and compliance with stringent regulations, which can lead to financial incentives and avoided penalties.

Increasingly demanding and complex regulations and legislations will drive the trend toward sustainability. This trend could accelerate with the stronger push for smart cities, presenting a significant opportunity for the buildings market to position itself as a driver of sustainability management.

As a result, an influx of companies offers solutions to promote decarbonization and sustainability in the built environment. In this study, Frost & Sullivan identifies the top 30 best practitioners that contribute toward decarbonization, climate change, and sustainability of buildings. The study period is 2023–2024.
