-Presently our main concern is the reduction of greenhouse gasses, GWP (which PE is related to), and the transition to a non-fossil-based energy supply, which will take place over several decades. Buildings constructed today will have longer life cycles than just the transition phase to a non-fossil based society and hence they will also be used in the post-transition era.  +Presently our main concern is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the transition to a non-fossil-based energy supply, which will take place over several decades. Buildings constructed today will have longer life cycles than just the transition phase to a non-fossil based society and hence they will also be used in the post-transition era.  
-During the transition phase, PE and GWP factors are changing, and will finally approach zero as we reach a society powered by 100% renewable energy. Does this mean, buildings, regardless of their construction, become better and better and their (final) energy use doesn’t matter? +During the transition phase, PE and  CO<sub>2</sub>-equivalent emission factors are changing, and will finally approach zero as we reach a society powered by 100% renewable energy.

 The above-mentioned assessment methods suggest this, but obviously, this is not the case. Renewable energy must be generated, delivered, and often stored. Renewable energy needs infrastructure and space which will become a decisive limiting factor. We want affordable renewable energy for all, and for all applications. For these reasons, energy use must be efficient: energy efficiency is the prerequisite for effective renewable energy supply. Bearing  in mind that a third of the total energy consumed in developed countries is required for operating buildings, we realise how important this sector is for the transition, and obviously the traditional assessment methods are not adequate for this future scenario.  The above-mentioned assessment methods suggest this, but obviously, this is not the case.
