urgently establish and enforce stringent energy codes for new buildings that identify affordable technological solutions, particularly in urban areas of developing countries with tropical or arid climates. Such codes, whenever possible, should be performance-based with minimum technical/prescriptive criteria for components and adapted to local conditions and market barriers. It is essential to develop and harmonise testing, ratings and certification of building materials, and to improve the knowledge base.

Blank cells indicate that there is currently not any market presence or it is so low that it is not known to domestic experts. Some technologies may not be recommended for all climates, such as cool roofs in Russia or highly insulated windows in hot climates. Typical insulation refers to widely available products such as fibreglass and various foams with thermal conductivities higher than 0.02 watts per meter Kelvin (W/mK). VIP: vacuum insulated panel.
