The SKEMA project upgrades installer qualifications to EQF levels 4–5 through new training profiles, an Observatory Lab, and a One-Stop Shop for trainers, ensuring the workforce is prepared for advanced green and smart building technologies in line with the EPBD.
The CROSS project presents a guide for deep and cost-effective renovations in public buildings: beyond energy efficiency, it integrates renewables, comfort, safety, and climate resilience.
This seminar, hosted by the Interfaculty Institute for Socio-Ecological Transformations (iiTSE) in Brussels, brings together educators and researchers who explore resource-conscious design approaches in their pedagogy and research.
Buildings generate 15% of the EU’s emissions and, at the current pace, will not achieve the 92% reduction required by 2040. Deep renovations, electrification and new regulations are key. What is missing, and how can the transformation of Europe’s building stock be accelerated?
El BEI destinará 17.500 millones de euros a mejorar la eficiencia energética de más de 350.000 pymes europeas. Los fondos podrán financiar renovaciones de edificios, equipos eficientes y digitalización, impulsando la descarbonización del parque construido.
The EU has launched a public consultation to define how the global warming potential (GWP) of new buildings should be calculated. This requirement will become mandatory from 2028 — a step towards low-carbon materials and full transparency across the building life cycle.
Ireland must transpose the new European energy efficiency directive, which requires the renovation of the most inefficient non-residential buildings before 2030. The challenge: incomplete data, insufficient support, and tight deadlines. How to balance regulation, financing, and climate action?
A Moldovan high-rise proves that energy-conscious renovation doesn’t just cut costs—it transforms. With lower consumption, greater comfort, and a bold financing model, this project could reshape the energy retrofit landscape across Eastern Europe.
EU countries are transposing the recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), with a different approach to Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) and renovation trajectories. This living news provides an overview of how these measures are being implemented across Europe.
Organised by CINEA with several LIFE projects, this high‑level event will set out the EU SRI implementation status and demonstrate practical support for Member States, including tools for SRI audits, test‑phase design, and EPC integration.
