This paper presents a methodology to model energy savings from building retrofits in the EU, showing potential savings of 40–60% in space heating, with varying costs based on climate and insulation.

The BSO factsheet offers a concise overview of key indicators on the EU’s building stock, covering features like building numbers, energy use, emissions, and social aspects.

The latest index reveals that the EU buildings sector is significantly off track to meet its 2030 and 2050 climate goals. Overall, the four key indicators of the EU BCT – CO2 emissions reduction, final energy consumption, renewable energy share and renovation investments – are over 40% away from the necessary decarbonisation pathway.

AIVC's Ventilation Information Paper #48.2 summarises current knowledge on building ventilation requirements and inspection trends in France.

The USGBC's 2024 Impact Report highlights LEED's role in promoting sustainable buildings, saving over 120 million metric tons of CO2, with over 195,000 projects globally, and outlines future goals for accelerating decarbonisation and fostering resilient, equitable communities.

AIVC's Ventilation Information Paper #45.13 summarises current knowledge on trends in building and ductwork airtightness in Germany.

The paper outlines strategies to accelerate the transformation of existing buildings towards sustainability, focusing on inclusive financing, decarbonisation pathways, and climate resilience to prevent stranded assets.

In a rapidly evolving world, where climate challenges are more pressing than ever, the integration of energy, climate, and spatial planning has become a cornerstone for sustainable development. IN-PLAN is at the forefront of this transformative journey, offering a comprehensive blueprint to harmonize these critical sectors.

The ARV project’s Blueprint is a collaborative, evolving guide for developing sustainable Climate-Positive Circular Communities. It integrates insights and tools to support stakeholders in planning, building, and operating these communities.

This handbook is a three step, practical guide for governments, businesses, and financial institutions, on how to drive up Europe's energy renovation rates.
