From innovative solutions in rural areas, the standardisation of construction materials to the smart integration of renewable energy sources, the initiatives presented during EUSEW reflect a strong commitment to transforming the built environment into a driver of sustainability and modernisation.


The integration of the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) into Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) marks a significant step towards the digitalisation and sustainability of Europe’s building sector.

The newly published CWA 18127:2024 initiative drives forward the digitalisation, sustainability, and regulatory coherence of building energy performance assessments, laying the groundwork for a more transparent and integrated evaluation framework.

Exploiting data through innovative services can significantly enhance the energy and environmental performance assessment of the building stock. Key factors for success include data availability, accessibility, and quality. Within the H2020 TIMEPAC project, emphasis has been placed on enhancing the usability, reliability, and enrichment of Energy Performance Certificate data to effectively support urban-scale energy analysis.

From 10 to 12 June 2025, Brussels will become the epicentre of Europe’s energy transition as it hosts the European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW)—the EU’s flagship event on renewable energy and energy efficiency. To help you make the most of it, BUILD UP has selected the most relevant and insightful sessions focused on energy efficiency in buildings.

The April edition of 'The REHVA European HVAC Journal' is now available. This technical publication is a leading reference in the European field of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
