The new European Technical Specification FprCEN/TS 18335:2026 defines a nine-step design process for natural, mechanical and hybrid ventilative cooling, prioritising prevention, modulation and free cooling before considering any form of active cooling.
ZEB Summit 2026 will gather international leaders in Dublin to explore how zero‑emission buildings can be delivered in practice. Through expert talks, workshops, and real project insights, the event examines retrofit, Passivhaus, building performance, and the transition to low‑energy construction.
The HouseInc project proposes five principles to engage the most vulnerable communities in the green transition, strengthening the legitimacy of housing, energy and sustainability policies through more inclusive participatory processes.
The report presents the main outcomes of SBCS26, summarising discussions, workshops and the first in‑person Intergovernmental Council for Buildings and Climate (ICBC) Technical Meeting held in Lausanne.
The Life BE FREE final event will bring together Belgian and European stakeholders to explore innovative financing solutions for energy renovation. The conference presents key project results, ESCO insights, and plans to accelerate Belgium’s transition through effective renovation funding models.
This Buildings Performance Institute Europe (BPIE) Green Paper presents a framework prioritising renovation and reuse of existing buildings to address housing shortages, reduce carbon impacts and strengthen Europe’s resilience.
The project evaluates material choices for long‑term maintenance, repair and reuse, investigating how lower‑carbon housing can be achieved within urban development constraints.
Euroheat & Power welcomes the European Commission’s new Electrification Action Plan for recognising the strategic role of district heating and cooling networks in delivering a more efficient, flexible and decarbonised energy transition.
The Save Energy Together Final Conference will explore how citizen engagement can drive measurable energy savings in municipalities. Held at CAIC’26, the event presents proven approaches, campaign results, and tools that help local authorities advance their energy and climate goals.
Trois projets menés en Espagne, au Maroc et en France montrent comment la conception passive peut réduire la surchauffe et la consommation d'énergie, en proposant des solutions reproductibles face à l'intensification des vagues de chaleur.
