  7. The case for energy management • 19% UK Carbon emissions from non-domestic buildings1 • Potential sector savings 33MtCO • 76% of the cost effective (CE) reduction from heating & lighting • 80% of buildings will still here in 2050 • Carbon reduction requires comprehensive investment programme 1 BRE – Market Evaluation of Energy Efficiency Technology & Policy Options
