Final national guides for the integration of iBRoad2EPC into the individual framework of the six pilot countries.

National stakeholder roundtables in the six pilot countries yielding important results on the barriers and facilitators for future implementation of iBRoad2EPC.

This study highlights the significant differences in Energy Performance Certificate frameworks across European countries, despite their common origin in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, emphasising the need for understanding these variations for effective EU-level implementation and innovation.

New study shows how Switchable Insulation Systems (SISs), using eco-friendly, low-cost materials, offer adaptable and energy-efficient insulation for hot climates, though simpler designs may be more affordable and effective than advanced technologies.

The paper proposes a new framework for healthy buildings, addressing gaps in knowledge transfer and offering a holistic, balanced approach to promote well-being and sustainability in the building sector.

This study analyses energy consumption trends in Polish hospitals from 2010 to 2019, revealing that larger hospitals are more energy efficient and identifying key factors influencing energy use, aiming to guide policymakers and administrators in enhancing sustainability in healthcare facilities.

This paper identifies sufficiency measures that reduce the need for unnecessary new construction by maximising the use of existing buildings.

The study explores how green roofs and facades enhance energy efficiency by improving insulation, regulating temperatures, and reducing heat island effects, thereby promoting sustainable urban development. The paper also addresses current research gaps in the subject focusing on long-term benefits of these systems.
