The BPIE paper Building prosperity - 10 policy priorities to achieve growth and social value through resilient, healthy and affordable zero-emission buildings outlines ten recommendations for the European Commission to ensure buildings contribute to Europe's stability, resilience, well-being, and economy. It highlights the environmental impact of current building practices and the need for strategic improvements. 

Key priorities include successful implementation of the EPBD, enhancing energy efficiency, promoting sustainable construction, ensuring affordability and accessibility, and adapting buildings to climate challenges.

The paper calls for coordinated efforts across EU institutions, emphasising the importance of innovation, data transparency, and financial investments. By addressing these areas, the paper aims to create a sustainable, competitive, and resilient built environment in Europe.
