From Inspections to IAQ Measurement: Exploring Databases for Better Indoor Environments
This webinar will introduce three national initiatives that collect and share data to support healthier indoor environments.
European Property Owners’ Perspectives and Experiences on Building Renovation
The UIPI survey, 'European Property Owners’ Perspectives and Experiences on Building Renovation', reflects the views of over 5,500 homeowners and landlords across 32 countries, offering valuable insight into their experiences, motivations, and the challenges faced in undertaking renovation projects.
Energy efficiency improvements across European real estate sector
Europe’s real estate sector is improving its energy efficiency, but progress remains uneven and fragile. What drives change, and what holds it back? Discover the details in the Deepki Index analysis.
Retrofitting buildings: an energy key for Ukraine
Ukraine’s energy reconstruction must go beyond repairing what was lost—it needs to rethink how buildings are designed and built. Improving energy efficiency in buildings can speed up recovery, reduce energy dependence, and enhance quality of life.
2025 Flagship Report: State of EU progress to climate neutrality
Despite growing momentum in Europe’s climate agenda, energy efficiency in buildings remains critically underdeveloped. Renovation rates are sluggish, heat pump uptake is declining, and minimum energy performance standards require stronger enforcement—threatening the EU’s 2050 climate goals.
Energy efficiency reshapes global strategy
Energy efficiency is emerging as a cornerstone of global policy, offering a cost-effective path to sustainability and resilience. This article examines how governments and industries are embracing smarter energy use to meet climate goals and economic challenges.
Buildings at the forefront of the renewable wave
The Renewables 2025 report highlights the key role of buildings in the energy transition: electrifying heat through heat pumps and improving efficiency will be essential to expand the use of renewables and reduce emissions.
The OBSERVE project: supporting the development of mandatory energy performance standards and building renovation plans
Reliable and harmonised building data are key to effective renovation policies. The OBSERVE project improves data quality and exchange to help Member States implement renovation plans and energy performance standards under the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).
2030 rule: homes must be energy-efficient to sell
From 2030, properties failing to meet minimum energy standards may no longer be eligible for sale or rent in Spain. The proposed regulation aims to accelerate the transition to sustainable housing and reduce carbon emissions across the residential sector.
Rebuilding Tavros: a model for energy-efficient housing
The Tavros Project in Athens exemplifies how deep energy retrofitting can transform ageing social housing into efficient Passive House buildings, reducing energy use by 90% and offering a replicable model for sustainable urban regeneration.
