Key mitigation technologies and practices currently Key mitigation technologies and practices
commercially available. projected to be commercialized before
2030.

 Efficient lighting and daylighting (efficient  Integrated design of commercial

lighting can save 72 exajoules of energy over buildings including technologies, such
the next 40 years relative to baseline as intelligent meters that provide
feedback and control

 solar PV integrated in buildings
person does not use light)
 more efficient electrical appliances and
heating and cooling devices  Integrated design of commercial
 improved cook stoves, improved buildings including technologies, such
insulation(Cookstoves are commonly called as intelligent meters that provide
“improved” if they are more efficient, emit feedback and control (clever home)
less emissions or are safer than the
traditional cook stoves or three-stone-fires.
The term usually refers to stoves which are
burning firewood, charcoal, agriculture
residues or dung.)
 passive and active solar design for heating
and cooling(Passive solar heating and cooling,
sometimes referred to simply as passive solar
design, is the process of using specific
building systems to help regulate
internal temperature by using
the Sun's energy selectively and beneficially
in an attempt to improve the energy
efficiency)
 alternative refrigeration fluids, recovery and
recycle of fluorinated gases(fluorine is worse
than other gases)
