Countries around the world must now construct buildings using a “smart” approach and reduce energy costs through this model, Bojan Bogdanovic, Principal Specialist for Energy Efficiency at the Sustainable Infrastructure Group of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), said during the event titled “Delivering Decarbonised, Resilient and Locally Sourced Homes” held within the framework of the World Urban Forum (WUF13), APA reports.
According to him, the construction of “smart buildings” contributes both to affordable housing provision and to reducing energy consumption and costs.
“This approach helps cities develop in a more resilient manner against crises. Today, the main focus should be on developing large-scale affordable housing solutions without increasing climate change and resource use, while also avoiding the creation of inequality,” he emphasized.
The EBRD representative noted that the bank’s main mission is to change lives through investment:
“Our goal is to transform good ideas into scalable and investment-attractive projects,” he said.
