At COP21, XNUMX countries, including Japan, announced that they would work together to implement measures to combat global warming in buildings!
At COP21, 18 countries, including Japan, France, and the United States, and over 60 organizations, including construction-related organizations, announced that they would work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from buildings and structures and to create cities and infrastructure that are resilient to climate change!
It will also bring together countries, cities, the construction industry and financial institutions to exchange information on best practices for climate change countermeasures for buildings and structures.
It is becoming clear worldwide that insulation has a greater effect than energy conservation through equipment, as is the case in the United States. Japan is not good at making improvements on its own, but it is also extremely weak against external pressure. It is expected that this will become a major driving force for energy conservation and high insulation of Japanese buildings in the future.
As an aside, I heard an interesting story from Professor Hoshi the other day.
The Prime Minister of New Zealand is the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare.
He has experienced both.
He apparently said, "The insulation measures implemented by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism have been far more effective (in terms of health) than what we have done."
