The forecasted fossil energy consumption in the French construction sector shows a gradual increase from 2024 to 2028. The year-on-year increase is consistent, moving from 49.44 thousand terajoules in 2024 to 50.95 thousand terajoules in 2028. This trend reflects a steady increase averaging around 0.8% per year. Last year's actual consumption (2023) serves as the base for these projections.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of energy efficiency initiatives on reducing fossil energy reliance.
- The integration of renewable energy sources in construction practices, potentially altering energy consumption patterns.
- Regulatory changes and environmental policies that may accelerate the shift away from fossil energy.
