Topic of the month
This month, we explore the role of energy poverty and vulnerability:
- How Europe’s building stock shapes vulnerability and exposes households to structural risks.
- The effects of thermal discomfort and high energy costs on daily decisions.
- How poor-quality buildings worsen health inequalities through cold, heat, and damp.
...and more!
