Palavras-chave:
Greenhouse effect, global warming, energy resources, emissions.Resumo
It is a widely accepted fact that human activities are contributing to climate change at a very rapid pace. Scientific evidence suggests climate change to be causal factor in rising sea levels, increased occurrence of severe weather events, food shortages, changing patterns of disease, severe water shortages and the loss of tropical forests significantly impacting almost every aspect of our environment, economies and societies. This paper discusses the potential impact of buildings on climate leading to irreversible damage to environment and ecosystem. Solution to the problem in the form of untapped potential of sustainable/green buildings is also discussed to support energy efficiency and greenhouse gas (GHG) & non-CO2 GHG emissions reduction.Keywords: Greenhouse effect, global warming, energy resources, emissions.
