FuturHist aims to develop replicable retrofit solutions for historic buildings of the future. The project's ambition is to shift the focus from individual buildings to building typologies and to future-proof them for the clean energy transition.
What can Albania’s early climate neutral building projects teach designers and policymakers preparing for a zero-emission future in the Western Balkans?
Appartementsgebouwen renoveren: dat is een uitdaging waarvoor veel mensen zich in het haar krabben. Want vaak moet je dan de puzzel leggen van technische ingrepen om tot de ideale oplossing te komen. En als die puzzel af is, komt de volgende vraag boven: hoe gaan we dit financieren?
A new analysis shows that emission reductions and energy‑efficiency improvements in European buildings remain too slow to meet 2030 and 2050 climate objectives.
Alcalá de Henares acogerá los días 9 y 10 de junio este evento abierto, colaborativo y orientado a soluciones, en el que se explorará cómo la asequibilidad, la innovación y la competitividad de los edificios pueden avanzar dentro de los límites planetarios.
HORIS (Home Renovation Integrated Services) is a project funded by the European LIFE programme, which updated and advanced an existing digital retrofitting platform called Green Menu. HORIS created a digital one-stop shop (OSS) to empower homeowners throughout the home renovation process.
The HORIS platforms simplify the home renovation process by providing homeowners with relevant and credible information and helping them identify the best and most sustainable options, offering financial, legal, and technical solutions.
Achieving climate-neutral buildings requires translating the EPBD’s zero-emission building standards into clear policies and renovation pathways. This topic explores how regulatory frameworks, technical criteria and stakeholder engagement can support the transition towards ZEBs.
Efficient Buildings Europe’s 10 February 2026 webinar examined how smart technologies, digital tools, and evolving regulatory frameworks can drive EPBD implementation, accelerating decarbonisation while enhancing comfort, resilience, and real‑life building performance.
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive recast sets a pathway to climate‑neutral buildings by 2050. This overview examines the EU framework and early national approaches, highlighting implementation patterns and the challenge of translating zero‑emission goals into workable national policies.
