A new Commission document provides guidance for authorities and building professionals on applying a whole life-cycle carbon approach, integrating operational and embodied emissions while promoting renovation, circularity and better use of the existing building stock.
Regional and local energy agencies are the implementation drivers of the energy transition, supporting a locally rooted approach that benefits citizens and strengthens the EU’s energy independence.
Focusing on the performance gap, this article examines how façade commissioning and continuous monitoring enable the verification and optimisation of actual operational performance in line with zero-emission building (ZEB) requirements.
The LIFE-funded BUS United initiative has officially launched seven Communities of Practice to strengthen sustainable energy skills across Europe’s construction sector. BUILD UP will support visibility and engagement by providing access via a dedicated portal section.
How can EPBD targets translate into stable market signals? At its 2026 meeting in Madrid, the BUILD UP Board of Ambassadors analysed Spain’s National Building Renovation Plan, certification reform and the readiness of the building sector to deliver at scale.
Eight EU Member States have met the deadline of 31 December 2025 and submitted their draft National Building Renovation Plans (NBRPs), marking the first concrete step in implementing the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) framework for the decarbonisation of Europe’s building stock.
