Documentation

Description:
Figure TS.15 legend: RECC-LED data include only space heating and cooling and water heating in residential buildings (a) Global resolution, and (b) for nine world regions. Emissions are decomposed using the equation "CO2 = Pop ×(m2/Pop) ×( EJ/m2) × (MtCO2/EJ) = Pop × Sufficiency × Efficiency × Renewable" which shows changes in driver variables of population, sufficiency (floor area per capita), efficiency (final energy per floor area), and renewables (GHG emissions per final energy). ‘Renewables’ is a summary term describing changes in GHG intensity of energy supply. Emission projections to 2050, and differences between scenarios in 2050, demonstrate mitigation potentials from the dimensions of the SER framework realised in each model scenario. In most regions, historical improvements in efficiency have been approximately matched by growth in floor area per capita. Implementing sufficiency measures that limit growth in floor area per capita, particularly in developed regions, reduces the dependence of climate mitigation on technological solutions. {Figure 9.5, Box 9.2}

Provenance

Source:
Based on data from IEA for population, CO2 emissions, final energy demand, floor area for residential buildings for the period 1990-2019 and for the period 2020-2050, data based on IEA scenarios (current policy (2019), sustainable development (2020) and net zero emissions (2021)) and IMAGE scenarios (Baseline SSP2-RCP2.6 and Lifestyle and renewable) and RECC (resource efficiency and climate change) scenarios (SSP2 baseline and LED/2°C policy) Data processing or treatment: Please provide a text based description of any data pre-processing or transformations undertaken to the input or source data in order to produce the figure in the report. This is important if the traceable dataset or numbers are different from those appearing on the figure. The reader should be able to understand how we arrived to the final data appearing on the SPM figure from reading this field, and should be able to replicate the steps. Therefore, the level of details presented here should be enabling such replication. To allow for cross scenario analysis, data have been grouped per regions different from those provided by scenario owners. Units have also been harmonised between different scenarios. CO2 emissions have been decomposed in both the operation and the construction phase based on changes in driver variables of i) population, ii) sufficiency (floor area per capita in the operation phase and in the case of embodied emissions floor area of new constructions only was considered), iii) efficiency (final energy per floor area in the operation phase and in the case of embodied emissions material efficiency was considered), and iv) renewables (GHG emissions per final energy). ‘Renewables’ is a summary term describing changes in GHG intensity of energy supply. Emission projections to 2050, and differences between scenarios in 2050, demonstrate mitigation potentials from the three dimensions of the Sufficiency, Efficiency, Renewable (SER) framework. The decomposition equation used in the operation phase is included in page 20 and the one related to embodied emissions is included in page 38 of Chapter 9
Purpose:
Data used by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) authors and supplied for archiving to MetadataWorks Ltd by the Technical Support Unit (TSU) for IPCC Working Group III (WG III).
