Buildings contribute over a third of the EU's energy-related carbon footprint, increasing when considering emissions from the entire life cycle of construction materials.
The 19th edition of the European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW), Europe’s largest gathering dedicated to renewables and energy efficiency, is set to take place from 10–12 June 2025 in a hybrid format.
The event brought together representatives of Member States, industry leaders, and policymakers to discuss the future of Europe’s construction sector, and unveiled the Construction 2050 Alliance Manifesto.
The session explores how standardised methods can support monitoring local energy savings to meet the revised Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) requirements.
This White Paper is part of the Implementation Working Group 5 on Energy Efficiency in Buildings (IWG5-Buildings) and contributes to the European Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan.
In March 2025, the European Builders Confederation (EBC) actively engaged in high-level meetings focused on skills development, vocational education and training (VET), upskilling, and reskilling within the European Union.
After completing this Energy Efficiency Expert course, you will be equipped to provide educated advice and help owners of historic homes take concrete steps to reduce the energy footprint of their valuable property.
