Introduction & Scope
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
The world today relies heavily on fossil fuels (e.g., oil, coal and natural gas) as energy sources. Fossil fuels are non-renewable; that is, they are sourced from finite resources that will eventually be consumed until limited supplies remain, ultimately becoming too expensive or environmentally damaging to extract. In contrast, multiple forms of renewable energy resources, such as solar, wind, hydroelectric and geothermal, are regularly replenished and will never exhaust. The sun provides the majority of renewable energy, in both direct and indirect forms.
Sunlight, or more accurately referred to as solar energy, can be directly used for lighting buildings, generating electricity, air and water heating, solar cooling, and a variety of commercial and industrial uses. Solar heat also drives wind currents, the energy of which can be captured with wind turbines. When wind and solar heat evaporates water, the water vapor is converted into rain or snow, flowing downhill into rivers or streams, or back toward earth in downspouts that provide drainage for building roofs. This energy can then be captured using hydroelectric power. Geothermal energy technologies source the earth?s internal heat for a variety of uses, including electric power production, and the heating and cooling of buildings.
The world will ultimately deplete its current finite sources of energy or deplete to the point where economic viability to recover the finite energy sources no longer exists; thus, it remains important to seek renewable energy options and develop and perfect the respective technologies before issues arise yet again in the future. Buildings today are a leading global consumer of energy, with this trend likely to continue well into the future, primarily driven by economic and population growth. This trend is increasingly recognized by a multitude of countries worldwide. Federal, state and local governments perceive investing in ?green? energy technologies for new and existing buildings as an opportunity to achieve greenhouse gas reduction targets. Consequently, energy efficiency in buildings has evolved into a major factor of the green movement in recent years, with these factors driving the increased importance of energy efficiency in buildings as a whole.
Energy efficiency has long been pursued by individual companies as a potential source of cost-savings, competitive and comparative advantage, and studies have typically been concentrated within individual sectors. Concerns about climate change have led to energy efficiency being considered ?the fifth fuel,? as energy efficiency can reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions just as surely as can renewable fuel sources. Multiple regulatory measures supporting energy efficiency initiatives and building codes have evolved since the initial recognition of the importance of energy efficiency in buildings, coupled with the drive to limit energy consumption and use. While it may
be a relatively simple task to ensure that new buildings meet energy efficiency standards, it is also important to ensure that existing buildings are energy-efficient.
Unless the issues of energy consumption of new and existing buildings are adequately addressed, any attempt at achieving energy independence through energy efficiency in buildings will likely end in failure. As a whole, significant strides have been made toward global development and use of renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies, both within building applications and as a source of green energy. These trends provide an opportunity for both existing players and new entrants into the building applications market for the related technologies. This BCC Research report analyzes these new developments and their potential impact on industry participants.
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of this study is to quantify and forecast the market for various renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies used in building applications. Specific secondary objectives also include the following:
- Identifying advanced materials and devices that are used in renewable energy systems.
- Analyzing and predicting trends in the most likely application(s) for each of these materials and devices to determine the commercial viability of a certain technology segment.
- Pinpointing new materials and devices that are likely to be introduced into renewable energy systems in the next five years and their expected market impacts.
- Drawing attention to manufacturers of renewable-energy systems and associated advanced materials and devices that are most likely to benefit from the trends identified above.
- Determining how the growth of residential and non-residential buildings will likely affect building energy consumption in different regions of the world.
- Examining the renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies used in building applications and assessing their emissions reduction potential.
- Identifying and assessing emerging technologies that could compete with or replace existing technologies used for these applications.
This report examines the numerous government-driven initiatives and financial incentives of both the renewable energy and energy-efficient technology industries in different global regions. With an in-depth patent analysis, the report also seeks to highlight the emerging technologies that are likely to drive both industries, in the present and future.
RATIONALE FOR CONDUCTING THIS STUDY
Several substantial, durable drivers are expanding the potential market for renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies in buildings across the world. Spearheading the initiative is rising global concern about the environment and CO2 emissions, trends toward moving away from energy reliance and toward energy independence, and the impact of human presence on earth. With the burgeoning increase in human activity and consequent increase in buildings of various types, energy consumption is likely to rise even further. Thus, there remains a significant need for buildings to be environmentally clean, energy-independent (or at least in-part) and energy-efficient. This infers that not only will new buildings need to conform to the new evolving building, energy and carbon emission standards, but also that there remains a necessity for existing buildings to also be energy-efficient and self-sustainable from an energy demand perspective. This in-turn creates major
opportunities for different renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies (both current and emerging), given their significant potential to reduce total energy consumption and eliminate energy dependence altogether.
