This event will allow to connect with cities that have successfully steered their district heating and cooling systems, street lighting, and housing towards climate neutrality through collaboration with private investors, companies, and financial institutions.
The CBE Clima Tool is a web application for climate analysis tailored to sustainable building design. It analyses and visualises climate data from EPW files, calculating additional metrics like solar angles, UTCI, and comfort indices for over 27,500 locations.
A sustainable society is one that protects the environment while fostering conditions that promote the mental and physical well-being of all its members. In the building sector, this means creating structures that are energy-efficient, low-emission and healthy and comfortable. But can health and comfort be ensured while still ensuring sustainable use of resources?
This briefing paper outlines key sustainable building policy positions from WorldGBC and the global Green Building Council network, providing a resource for GBCs and partners engaging policymakers and negotiators at COP29.
Modular construction improves efficiency, reduces costs and environmental impact, and supports sustainability by enabling faster build times, reusing components, and lowering carbon emissions.
In 2025, the construction industry focuses on sustainability, safety, and innovation, leveraging AI, digital tools, and green practices to adapt to climate challenges and drive growth.
This webinar seeks to highlight the necessity for energy efficiency policies which address the specific needs of understudied regions and/ or contexts faced with unique challenges, like rural areas, and the tools which can complement these.
The H2020 Infinite project in Slovenia showcases a sustainable building retrofit using prefabricated panels and energy-efficient solutions, reducing costs and inspiring future eco-friendly renovations across Europe.
The office building in Aix-en-Provence, built in the 1970s, has an SRI score of 39%. Suggested improvements, like upgrading the heating, lighting, and ventilation systems, adding solar panels, and installing motorised sun protections, could raise its score to 51%, enhancing energy efficiency, comfort, and flexibility.
A study on two Italian residential renovation projects highlights how Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) leverage energy efficiency, lifecycle assessments, and green certifications to promote sustainable urban development and energy self-sufficiency.
