Menara 2 BTN: energy efficiency in a tropical climate
Menara 2 BTN cuts its energy consumption by more than 21% compared to the national standard, thanks to LED lighting, optimised air-conditioning systems, and efficient water management, proving that sustainability in tropical climates is achievable.
Defining a common vision for climate neutral buildings: a comprehensive and harmonised framework for whole-life carbon measurement across Europe
Measuring and reducing carbon emissions throughout the entire life cycle of buildings—from materials to end-of-use—is essential to achieving climate neutrality, through shared data, clear standards, and progressive targets.
Delivering the EU buildings directive: a deep dive into enablers
The new European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive aims to transform an ageing building stock into a driver of climate and social progress. Its success will depend on accessible financing, strong local support, and a fair implementation that prioritises vulnerable households.

JustReno project: baseline assessment report for Hungary
The baseline report for Hungary, developed under the JustReno project, analyses the country’s residential building stock, its level of energy efficiency, the quality of the available data, and the governance approach to building renovation.
SIRCULAR-INBUILT: The EU drives the decarbonisation of construction
Barcelona hosted the SIRCULAR-INBUILT workshop, where European experts presented real solutions to decarbonise the construction sector: circular materials, 3D printing, digitalisation, and sustainable policies shaping the urban future.
New emissions trading system for buildings: ETS 2
The EU is preparing the new carbon market for buildings, with measures aimed at ensuring stability, encouraging investment in clean technologies, and supporting vulnerable households. The new system will be key to accelerating the energy transition.
Advancing rural renovation across Europe: Insights and policy recommendations from Rural Energy Efficiency Roadmaps (REERs)
The RENOVERTY project has developed Rural Energy Efficiency Roadmaps (REERs) for vulnerable households across seven European Union regions from 2022 to 2025 to improve building energy performance and reduce energy poverty.
Boosting building efficiency with vertical vegetation
Dénia’s Courthouse is set to go green: a vertical garden façade will help cut energy consumption and tackle urban heat, blending sustainability and bioclimatic architecture into the public justice system.
