This ToM explores key actions to accelerate heat pump deployment in Europe’s building sector, focusing on policy support, market readiness, skills and innovative solutions, while drawing on insight
This ToM explores the role of energy communities in the EU’s clean energy transition, focusing on:
GrünboX-Vienne transforms a disused industrial building through circular economy principles and sober design, achieving significant CO₂ and water savings while proposing a replicable model for sustainable urban regeneration.
Cities in the EU Cities Mission, supported by the tools and guidance of NetZeroCities, are strengthening cooperation with businesses and local actors to advance climate neutrality across key urban sectors.
OpenBEP4EU develops an open-source framework for calculating building energy performance across Europe. By aligning EPCs and SRI methods, it supports comparable, transparent data to improve renovation decisions, public funding allocation, and policy implementation.
The SUPERSHINE project has released a new policy brief titled 'A Just Renovation Framework for Europe’s Social Housing Sector,' highlighting the urgent need to align climate goals with housing affordability and social equity across Europe.
A new European framework proposes turning Positive Energy Neighbourhoods (PEN) into viable and financeable urban infrastructures, overcoming the 'pilot trap' through standards, new business models, and municipal leadership.
The Smart Cities Marketplace has incorporated the Tech4Good Toolkit, preserving digital solutions and practical insights that support energy efficiency, mobility, public services, and wider urban transformation across Europe.
Representatives from the construction sector met in Brussels on 26 February 2026 to launch the Whole Life Carbon Forum, a new platform focused on applying whole‑life carbon principles in buildings.
Adaptive façades, including opaque systems such as ZERAF (ZERo-carbon building enabling Adaptive opaque Facade technology), are reshaping building design by reducing energy demand and enhancing resilience through the intelligent use of natural climate resources.
