Summary of findings

RQ1: What policies and regulations have been used for building energy performance policy in distinct parts of the world over the last six years?	RQ2: What scope and concerns do these policies and regulations address?	RQ3: What common challenges can be identified across policies and processes for the built environment worldwide?	RQ4: How can the data be used for research and in the society?
1. Three hundred and eighty-four BEP policies since 2018 2. A high number of national action plans and strategies 3. Extremely low R&D policies for BEE 4. A low number of regulations 5. Tax incentives, loans and social funds, mostly in the Global North 6. Energy security and access 7. Renewable energy	1. Action plans, roadmaps programmes and strategies 2. Audits and inspections 3. Building Energy Efficiency Acts 4. Building rating systems 5. Building services and structure 6. Certification schemes 7. Fiscal – other 8. Fiscal – renovations/retrofits 9. Environment and the built environment 10. Government buildings and procurement 11. Guidelines and information 12. MEPS services/appliances 13. Regulation and building codes 14. R&D 15. Standards and or labelling 16. Testing and calculation	1. No tangible evidence of sustainable considerations in policies and regulations 2. Reactionary policy priorities 3. Untenable BEP policy formation models 4. Irresponsible supply chains 5. Technological solutions with negative environmental and social impacts 6. Questionable transition pathways 7. Fragmentation of policy goals across the BEP ecosystem 8. Institutional barriers to sustainable policies	1. There is room for improved collaboration between academia, the private sector and policymakers 2. There is a need for accountability for the life-cycle energy performance of buildings and their services 3. There is a need for adaptive policy models to catch up with shifting trends in the energy sector 4. There is a need for the implementation of integrative and holistic policy solutions
