The LIFE Programme has allocated over EUR 380 million to 133 new green projects across Europe, many of which focus on making the building sector sustainable and inclusive. Below is a non-exhaustive list of these initiatives.
The European Commission DG Environment invites those working in the built environment sector to join an online conference exploring Level(s): the EU common language for assessing and measuring the sustainability performance of buildings.
As global temperatures rise, developers are reviving ancient, energy-efficient cooling methods like green roofs and solar chimneys, which reduce cooling costs and carbon emissions from modern air conditioning systems.
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.
