Rural housing requires solutions tailored to the specific needs of each territory. Six European initiatives demonstrate how renovation, local participation and innovation can revitalise communities and improve quality of life.
A case study in Morangis shows how an attic conversion and whole‑house renovation improved indoor comfort and energy performance, transforming a class‑F dwelling into a class‑A home.
Une cartographie interactive rassemble les connaissances produites dans le cadre de RESTORE afin de faciliter la rénovation énergétique des maisons individuelles. Cet outil met en relation la recherche, les retours d'expérience et des solutions reproductibles pour accélérer la transition du secteur.
The LIFE HORIS project has published five policy briefs proposing to strengthen One-Stop Shops as a key tool to facilitate energy renovation, improve the information available to citizens and accelerate the transition of Europe’s residential building stock.
The Geothermal District Heating and Cooling Days 2026 will gather experts in Dublin to explore Europe’s best practices, financing models and Ireland’s emerging project pipeline, highlighting geothermal energy as a key driver of clean, secure and scalable heating and cooling.
The Social Climate Fund has the potential to become a decisive instrument for delivering a fair heating transition, but its impact will depend on how effectively Member States direct investment towards the most vulnerable households.
The transition towards affordable and climate-resilient housing requires overcoming the fragmentation between energy and social policies. An event led by European projects explores how citizen participation can strengthen local action to address climate change and inequality.
The rise in temperatures is driving increased use of air conditioning, but urban adaptation requires a broader approach. Carbon Brief examines why European cities need to combine efficient cooling with passive solutions and climate-responsive planning.
Before making air conditioning the norm, Europe has a significant opportunity to reduce overheating through passive measures such as external shading and ventilative cooling.
Roma Capitale presenta un programma esteso di interventi per migliorare la gestione energetica e il comfort degli edifici scolastici comunali e metropolitani.
