Discover how renovation passports are emerging as a key Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) tool to help building professionals and owners plan staged deep renovations, aligning individual projects with Europe’s zero emission goals.
How are Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) and renovation trajectories being translated from EU policy into national action? Discover the instruments, data, timelines, and rules reshaping building upgrades across Europe.
This event presents how the LIFE EU‑funded HORIS project’s digital one-stop shops in Spain, Portugal, and Italy support the EPBD’s objectives by guiding citizens through renovation processes, and brings experts together to reflect on results, future models, and emerging digital trends.
A new JRC policy brief examines worsening housing affordability for young people in the EU, highlighting rising precarity, income‑linked disparities and the implications for long‑term social cohesion.
BUILD UP highlights the EUSEW 2026 sessions most relevant to buildings, with a focus on implementation, affordability, and decarbonisation. Public voting for the EUSEW Awards is also open until 31 May, including the new category ‘SMEs Driving Energy Efficiency’.
Reducing energy bills in Europe requires action on buildings. AccelerateEU sets out how efficiency can become a key tool for resilience and affordability.
Refurbishment of a historic industrial building in Brussels into a mixed-use scheme, prioritising material reuse, urban integration and energy efficiency with a primary energy consumption of 42 kWhep/m²·year.
Why prescriptive requirements are no longer enough: how performance-based IAQ requirements can transform ventilation design, inspection and operation under the evolving EPBD framework.
Join this workshop to explore the real-world performance of low-carbon, bio-based building envelope materials and their potential to transform energy renovation across Europe. It will share findings from EASI ZERo's demonstration cases and present life cycle assessment (LCA) results.
The European guide analyses why renovations fail to meet their energy objectives and proposes concrete measures to close the gap between projected and actual performance.
