To get an accurate picture of energy efficiency in a country, it is important to first look at how and where energy is being used. Total final consumption (TFC) is the energy consumed by end users such as individuals and businesses to heat and cool buildings, to run lights, devices, and appliances, and to power vehicles, machines and factories.
One way of looking at the overall energy efficiency of a country is to measure the total energy supply per unit of economic output (here adjusted for purchasing power parity). This reflects not only energy efficiency but also the structure of the economy, with services-oriented economies generally having a lower energy intensity than those based on heavy industry.
In most countries, heating and cooling make up the largest share of energy use in homes. While air conditioners, appliances and lights generally run on electricity, combustible fuels such as natural gas, oil, coal and biomass are still widely used for heating and cooking. Electrifying these end uses, for example by replacing fossil fuel boilers with efficient electric heat pumps, will be important for reducing CO2 emissions.
Residential energy intensity is largly driven by space heating, and to a lesser extent appliances. To allow cross-country comparisons, it is measured by floor area and temperature-corrected.
In most countries, transport energy use is dominated by oil used to fuel passenger cars, trucks and airplanes. Electrification of the transport sector, for example through the widespread rollout of EVs, is an important strategy for reducing CO2 emissions.
Passenger transport intensity is measured by the average amount of energy used to move one passenger over a distance of one kilometre. Intensity levels vary across countries depending on how people get around in that country – such as the modes of tranport used (e.g. driving, flying, rail), the types of vehicles used, and the average number of passengers per vehicle.
Industrial energy sources can vary considerably between countries depending on the structure of their economies. Many industrial processes, including steelmaking, cement and chemicals, still require fossil fuels for high-temperature heat or as feedstocks.
A country''s manufacturing energy intensity largely depends on the makeup of a country''s manufacturing sector: certain industries, such as basic metals and pulp and paper, are particularly energy intensive relative to their economic contribution.
The services sector tends to be much less energy intensive than industry, with the largest share of energy in most countries being used to heat and cool buildings. The shift from an economic structure based on heavy industry to one based on services has historically been a driver of falling energy intensity of advanced economies.

An landmark building can be a catalyst for a city. Facing the 21st century, Taipei needs a wider stage. Like the Empire State Building, the Eiffel Tower, and the late Jinmao Tower in Shanghai.
Viewing Platform Elevator - Designated the world`s fastest elevator in 2004, featuring pressurized cars for rider comfort, and rising at speeds of up to 1,010 meters per minute.
Since 2006, Taipei 101 has been actively engaged in ESG practices. Not only did it achieve LEED certification in 2011, 2016, and 2021, but it also reached a new milestone in sustainability in 2023. With the highest score globally, it secured the "WELL Health-Safety Rating Platinum Certification," making it the first among the world''s top 10 supertall buildings to hold both LEED and WELL dual Platinum certifications. This underscores Taipei 101''s steadfast commitment and efforts towards environmental sustainability and healthy living, solidifying its leading position in global health and green building management.
Since 2011, Taipei 101 has been certified as the world`s tallest green building. In July 2016, it won the highest level - scoring the world`s highest score - of the US Green Building LEED v4 Platinum certification, becoming the first Platinum-class super-tall building outside the United States to receive this category, and it is still the world`s highest record holder. It has become Taiwan`s global model of green architectural design and stands as a global icon among green skyscrapers.
Comfortable, convenient, fast, safe and intelligent elevators manufactured by Toshiba Co. (Japan)
Designated the world`s fastest elevator in 2004, featuring pressurized cars for rider comfort, and rising at speeds of up to 1,010 meters per minute.
During non-building hours, tenants must use their employee pass to take the elevator. Visitors who do not have an employee pass will be required to register and be issued a visitor`s pass by the security officer.
General elevators are available for couriers, contractors, and other deliveries.
Taiwan Electric Company, via Hulin and Shimao Second Substation, feed 22.8 KV high-voltage power to Taipei 101.
The building''s electrical system applies the concept of dual-source, dual-backup, and dual-feeder to lay cables for internal power supply. If power interruption occurs on one side, power supply can continue via a switch from the electrical room. The design greatly reduces the risk of power outage.
In the case of a power surge or failure, power is automatically controlled by the switch control, and the emergency circuit is switched to supply emergency power.
Taipei 101 features an ice storage system, which uses off-peak power to store ice during the night and supply air conditioning load during the day to help reduce peak power consumption. The VAV partition is used to supply the air supply system to provide a comfortable air conditioning environment.
The most complete fire protection system, including non-combustible building materials, is used in the main building and all renovation work. When an emergency occurs, the integrated safety programs are automatically activated, fire doors are closed, and smoke exhaust systems are activated. Escape routes are supplied with air and pressure. There are two refuge rooms in the mechanical floor on every eighth floor. The mechanical floors above the 34th floor have outdoor refuge platforms to ensure a safe and sound environment and have obtained gold fireproof seals.
Chunghwa Telecom has built the most advanced and comprehensive communication architecture to provide two dual-route fiber-optic backbone cables that enter the building from different pipelines. The main telecom equipment rooms (MDFs) on the 17th and 66th floors are connected to the relay telecommunications wiring room (IDF) of each office floor by a fiber-optic backbone with a bandwidth of 10 Gbps. Mobile communication in the building has no dead ends, including elevators and basements. The public area has been set to a wireless internet environment.
When power outages occur due to an accident or stoppage by the Taiwan Power Company, the emergency power supply activates automatically to supply electricity for various emergency functions. The company is equipped with 8 diesel-fuel emergency generators, capable of supplying power for 46 hours continuously without additional fuel.
In order to provide further communication services and support, the building also has three additional communication facilities: microwave communication, infrared communication, satellite communication.

With 101 floors and over 2 million square feet and measuring 1,667 feet (508 meters) tall, TAIPEI 101 is one of the tallest buildings in the world. It has set a worldwide precedent for sustainable skyscraper development, receiving its first LEED Platinum certification in 2011. In 2016, it became the first LEED v4 certified project in the world to achieve 90 points and the world''s first LEED v4 Platinum super tall building. The project received LEED Platinum certification for the third time in 2021, using the latest version, LEED v4.1.
