Topic of the month
This ToM explores how to unlock investment for building renovation under the EPBD. It examines the financial barriers that make renovation projects challenging for traditional lenders and highlights the roles of the EU, Member States and financial institutions. It also presents financing mechanisms and demonstrates how energy renovations can generate measurable economic, environmental and social value.
- Blended financial instruments
- Financing to alleviate energy poverty
- National Building Renovation Plans
…and more!

Статията има за цел да се насочи вниманието към повече финансови инструменти за намаляване на риска, вместо доминиращите грантове в България, и да привлече възможни решения за циркулярност, когато се постигнат целите и стандартите на европейската Директива относно енергийната ефективност на сградит
What happens when cooling is needed for health, but homes, inaccessible controls, and energy costs prevent access? Evidence from five Southern European countries shows why affordable cooling is about far more than energy efficiency.
The new European Technical Specification FprCEN/TS 18335:2026 defines a nine-step design process for natural, mechanical and hybrid ventilative cooling, prioritising prevention, modulation and free cooling before considering any form of active cooling.
Europe’s energy transition risks overlooking a critical gap: without treating cooling as infrastructure, buildings may lock in inequality, grid strain, and avoidable long-term costs.
Before making air conditioning the norm, Europe has a significant opportunity to reduce overheating through passive measures such as external shading and ventilative cooling.
A new Commission document provides guidance for authorities and building professionals on applying a whole life-cycle carbon approach, integrating operational and embodied emissions while promoting renovation, circularity and better use of the existing building stock.
