Was talking to a politician on things done and said at elections.

How Energy loss in our buildings is hurting the planet
Human habitat design is largely driven by the kind of climate it is in. On the other hand if design fails to adjust to the climate the price that one pays is heavy, much heavier towards the Operation side. 80-90% of the lifecycle cost of the buildings get consumed in running them. A climate responsive design will therefore have obvious advantage in saving the opex (Operation expenditure).About 30% of total electric energy generated is consumed by transmission loads in walls / roofs.
