"Energy Retrofits for Commercial and Public Buildings: Global Markets" provides: An overview of the global markets for energy retrofits for commercial and public buildings; Analyses of global market trends, with data from 2014, 2015, and projections of CAGRs through 2020; Coverage of how the growth of public buildings and private commercial buildings is likely to affect building energy consumption in different regions of the world; Various energy retrofit technologies and assesses their emissions reduction potential.
The scope of this report is intentionally wide. We cover the major sources of renewable energy as primary fuels—hydroelectric, wind, solar, geothermal and oceanic sources (wave, tidal and thermal) and liquid biofuels for transportation. There is no shortage in the marketplace of reports on each of these sources. However, what existing reports lack and what this report is intended to provide is a global perspective that places each source in a relevant context for decision makers in both the public and private sectors.
The report covers the global market for technologies used in the production, storage and distribution of hydrogen; its conversion to other forms of energy or direct consumption as a fuel; and miscellaneous other types of hydrogen-related technology, such as hydrogen sensors.
