#Podcast 27: The Building Performance Standards Landscape!
In our Podcast series “Sh*t You Wish Your Building Did!”, Memoori explores the intersection between technology and commercial buildings through interesting conversations. For Episode 27, we were joined by Cliff Majersik from the Institute for Market Transformation, where he helps to shape policy around energy efficiency in buildings. Will standards really drive wide-scale building decarbonization? And […]
Defining a Zero Emissions Building from the Top Down
A zero emissions building is not as easy to define as you may think. Should it include embodied carbon, for example, should efficiency and clean energy generation be specific parts of the definition or should it simply refer to the level of emissions, whatever the approach? These are the kinds of questions being discussed in […]
Buildings will Play Crucial Role in Growth of EU Electric Vehicle Market
The electric vehicle (EV) market has experienced exponential growth in recent years and expects even faster growth in coming years as markets aim for close to 100% EV penetration in the medium term. EV sales as a share of total vehicle sales has tripled in just three years, from 4% in 2020 to 14% in […]
The Energy Performance Potential of the Building Envelope
Often the most obvious things are the hardest to see, and that could be said of the building envelope in our quest for climate-friendly real estate. Architectural trends over the past few decades have favored glass, prioritizing the facade’s aesthetic appeal and leaving the envelope’s functional aspects to take a backseat. Double or triple-pane glass […]
THAT Overused “40%” Building Energy Consumption Statistic Investigated!
“Buildings account for 40% of all energy consumption and represent 40% of all greenhouse gas emissions”. Yes, this is another article that starts with the same statistic you’ve heard for the past decade! Like a bad smell, it permeates every research report, media article and industry conference you’ve attended in recent memory. It must be […]
85% of All Cyber Crimes Go Unreported
As we continue to drive connected technology into buildings, we are experiencing a steady rise in the number of cyber attacks and a growing concern about the vulnerability of smart buildings. However, as much as 85% of all cyber crimes go unreported, according to the US Department of Justice (DOJ), meaning the scale of the […]
White Paper: How Can Smart Building Technology Become Mainstream?
We have been talking about smart buildings for decades. We have seen smart technology emerge and showcase projects achieve impressive results, however, the vast majority of new and old buildings are still not smart. A new joint white paper by Spaceworx and Memoori asks “why?” and, more importantly, “what can be done about it?” Download […]
Overcoming Preconceptions to Drive Heat Pump Technology into Buildings
Heat pumps have been around for a while, they increasingly make cost and environmental sense for buildings, yet their adoption is still limited. Buildings represent 40% of global energy consumption and, within the building, space and water heating make up two-thirds of energy consumption. This means that heating/cooling in buildings represents over 25% of all energy […]
