Case Studies

Explore real-world examples of Efficient, Smart, and Healthy buildings from across sectors and regions. Each case follows a standardized format to help you quickly extract key strategies, results, and lessons learned, with links to original sources. We also highlight key performance metrics—EUI (Energy Use Intensity, in kWh/m²/year), TEDI (Thermal Energy Demand Intensity, in kWh/m²/year), GHGI (Operational Greenhouse Gas Intensity, in kgCO₂e/m²/year), and ECI (Embodied Carbon Intensity, in kgCO₂e/m²)—as critical indicators for driving energy efficiency and minimizing carbon impact.
