High‑quality building data are becoming central to the revised EPBD. Yet, persistent gaps across Europe still hinder renovation planning and progress tracking. This overview explores how integrated, data-driven approaches can support effective and socially fair building decarbonisation.
The energy modernisation of buildings could stimulate economic growth in Germany by increasing employment and accelerating the transition towards more sustainable heating systems, in a sector that is still failing to meet its emission reduction targets.
EU Member States differ in preparing National Building Renovation Plans, with Buildings Performance Institute Europe (BPIE) noting the need for clear guidance to boost energy efficiency and sustainability in buildings.
L’esperienza italiana in OBSERVE ha promosso la mappatura delle fonti dati sul patrimonio edilizio, formalizzando le criticità su interoperabilità e buone pratiche per uno scambio concreto col progetto, a supporto dei nuovi requisiti EPBD.

Greece is accelerating the energy renovation of its homes through programmes that promote modernisation, support vulnerable households, and ensure alignment with the new European standards, marking a decisive step towards a more efficient and sustainable residential stock.
Rural areas of the EU face higher energy poverty, yet they also lead in renovations and the uptake of solar energy. This analysis highlights their challenges and the potential that could transform their energy future.
Building conversations up with... Eduard Loscos, R&D Manager at IDP Bureau Veritas and President of the Building Digital Twin Association.
The new European Buildings Directive promises to accelerate energy renovation, but its success lies not in technology, but in the rules. This analysis unpacks how data, property rights, and financing can become either enablers or obstacles to the transition.
