Local authorities and experts in Poland are exploring strategies to modernise public buildings through deep energy renovation. Strategic planning, technical support, and access to funding are highlighted as key enablers for meeting the EU’s energy efficiency objectives.

The REHOUSE project is advancing integrated solutions for energy-efficient renovation of existing buildings, currently being tested across four demonstration sites in Europe. Its technologies include modular façades, intelligent windows, and multisource heat pumps to enhance real energy performance.

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 RENOVERTY project, funded by the European Union, has launched a free online training programme focused on co-creation for energy renovation in rural areas and tackling energy poverty.

El proyecto, impulsado por el Green Building Council España (GBCE), se alza con el Premio de Sostenibilidad por su innovadora metodología para medir la huella de carbono en edificios, marcando un hito en la construcción sostenible en España.
Over 50 delegates took part to Rehouse General Assembly, including REHOUSE project partners from France, Germany, Greece, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, Hungary and representatives of the Italian partners involved in the energy requalification of a social building owned by ARCA Capitanata in the municipality of Margherita di Savoia.

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.

El proyecto New Skills for Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NS4nZEBs) impulsa la formación de profesionales del sector de la construcción para acelerar la descarbonización total del parque de edificios.

The latest report from EuropeOn underscores the urgent need to modernise home electrical installations as a fundamental requirement for achieving zero-emission buildings. It provides essential guidance for European policymakers in the context of implementing the 2024 Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).
