EAE’s Energy Efficiency Guide is a meta-study that summarises relevant facts and figures about the energy efficiency of Europe’s building stock, relevant legislation, technical developments and how ETICS contribute to achieving Europe’s environmental, economic and social objectives. It condenses the evidence of numerous global, European and national scientific studies and provides recommendations on what can be done to triple the number of buildings undergoing deep or staged deep renovations or new buildings to become net carbon neutral by 2050.

This brief aims to support workers in developing informed collective bargaining strategies to ensure equitable access to new green employment and improved working conditions.

One-stop-shops have the potential to significantly bridge the divide between energy efficiency subsidies and building renovations. By examining six successful one-stop-shops, this report underscores the importance of adopting a holistic approach to their implementation, focusing on the key principles of inclusivity, adaptability, and sustainability.
