The global energy efficient buildings market size is expected to reach USD 89.03 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Energy Efficient Buildings Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Material [Glass Wool, Mineral Wool, Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), and Extruded Polystyrene (XPS)], Component Type, Application, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
Energy-efficient buildings are designed to minimize energy usage while maintaining comfortable living and working conditions. This is achieved through advanced construction techniques, innovative technologies, and sustainable materials that enhance the efficiency of heating, cooling, lighting, and overall energy management systems.
The energy efficient buildings market growth is driven by rising energy costs, stringent government regulations, and growing awareness of environmental sustainability. Many countries have implemented building codes and standards, such as the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification and the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM), to encourage energy-efficient building practices. Governments are also offering incentives, such as tax credits and subsidies, to promote energy-efficient and green buildings.
Technological advancements play a crucial role in propelling the energy efficient buildings market development. Smart building technologies, including Internet of Things (IoT) devices, sensors, and advanced energy management systems, enable real-time monitoring and optimization of energy consumption. For instance, smart thermostats and lighting systems adjust usage based on occupancy and environmental conditions, reducing waste and lowering operational costs. Additionally, the integration of renewable energy sources, such as solar panels and wind turbines, into building designs enhances energy efficiency and reduces dependency on conventional energy grids.
