BUILD UP

The European portal for energy efficiency and renewable energy in buildings

What is BUILD UP?

The BUILD UP initiative was established by the European Commission in 2009 to support EU Member States in implementing the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). 

The objective of BUILD UP is to reap the benefits of Europe's collective intelligence on energy reduction and renewable energy in buildings for all relevant audiences. It is a community that brings together practitioners and professional associations while motivating them to exchange best working practices and knowledge, and to transfer tools and resources.
