The new UK net zero carbon buildings standard emerges from broad sectoral collaboration and seeks to provide a common, measurable and credible framework to align design, construction and operation with climate objectives.
An international study examines how six countries are progressing towards net-zero carbon buildings, highlighting a growing adoption of low-carbon technologies but still limited implementation of carbon estimation tools and robust enabling frameworks.
Achieving climate-neutral buildings requires translating the EPBD’s zero-emission building standards into clear policies and renovation pathways. This topic explores how regulatory frameworks, technical criteria and stakeholder engagement can support the transition towards ZEBs.
Building conversations up with... Oliver Rapf, Executive Director of the Buildings Performance Institute Europe (BPIE).
EASI ZERo develops bio-based and recycled insulation materials to cut buildings’ CO₂ emissions and energy use. The system delivers high thermal performance, easy installation and circular economy benefits, supporting the EU’s Renovation Wave for near-zero-energy buildings.
What does it take to deliver ZEBs under the EPBD? Real buildings, real data, and lessons building professionals can apply now. This article explores how the Horizon Europe project GreeNest contributes to bridging the gap between regulatory objectives and practical implementation.
A Joint Research Centre report analyses how cities contribute to the EU green transition, identifying conditions that support zero‑emission goals and energy‑efficient urban systems.
REBUILD 2026, del 24 al 26 de marzo en IFEMA Madrid, reunirá a más de 30.000 profesionales para explorar la industrialización, la digitalización y la sostenibilidad que están transformando la edificación. Un punto de encuentro clave para descubrir innovación, tendencias y nuevas oportunidades.
This month, we delve into 'Towards climate-neutral buildings: implementing zero-emission standards under the EPBD' with Aitor Domínguez Martín, Area Manager in Building Efficiency at the Spanish Institute for the Diversification and Energy Saving (IDAE).
