APOLLO at European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition 2025
The APOLLO project was proudly represented at the 42nd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (EU PVSEC 2025) in Bilbao, Spain. Our partners ODTU-GÜNAM and Kalyon PV from Türkiye, together with NTNU from Norway, joined the event and actively contributed to the programme.
STUNNED Project
The STUNNED project will empower energy communities with advanced solutions for energy management in flexible markets. It combines an innovative, multi-domain approach with the integration of renewable energies, electric vehicles, and energy management systems (EMS).
EU micro-construction companies: rising to the 2040 climate objectives
The future of the European Renovation Wave depends on construction microenterprises, which represent 94% of the sector and are key to tripling the renovation rate to 3% per year. This publication analyses their challenges and opportunities in leading the climate transition towards 2040.
CROSS project guidelines for local and regional authorities on deep renovation
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.
Designing in a finite world: urbanism, architecture and resource-consciousness
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.
Implementing the EU 2040 Climate Target: Building blocks and measures
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?
Las Pymes europeas, clave en la transición energética
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.
Public consultation: measuring the climate impact of new buildings
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.
Transposing the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) into Irish law
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?
