Final report by ELISE (Energy and Location Applications), that addresses the need to improve energy efficiency of the building stock. In order to do so, they highlight the need to develop standardised calculation methodologies and interoperable building data to perform energy simulations.

The Level(s) eLearning programme can help professionals who would like to know more about Level(s) assessment for the life cycle of a building project. The course is divided into several modules and is targets to diverse roles and responsibilities based on the type of building professional.

Are you a professional involved in the building life cycle? This quick guide, developed by the European Commission, can support you in the assessment of the building life cycle using Level(s).

As EEnvest project has now come to a conclusion, there is time to focus on what the project has achieved. This booklet comprises all the project´s results, targeting project promoters and investors in order to support them in de-risking energy efficiency investments in the building sector.

The booklet illustrates the cost-effectiveness and added value of building automation and control systems (BACS) by showcasing several projects across Europe. The implementation of BACS can lead to significant energy savings, but also to improved occupant´s health and comfort.

Greening Buildings with digitalisation is one of the 10 key areas of the EU Strategic Foresight Report 2022, which aims to twin the green and digital transition. There are some key changes that the building sector must face, focused on the ones from demographic trends and urbanisation.

The building sector is the key to achieve emissions reduction through renovation. To this end, solutions are needed to speed the current renovation rates. Industrial prefabrication for renovation comes as a promising solution to achieve this goal and create significant energy and cost savings.

Successful decarbonisation of the EU building stock calls for an integrated, participatory and neighbourhood-based approach. Could the concept of Positive Energy Neighbourhood (PEN) be the answer?

The newly developed EU Buildings Climate Tracker finds that the EU is facing a growing gap in advancing towards climate neutrality in the sector. This first edition provides evidence for the urgent need for additional action that should be reflected in a transformational outcome of legislative discussions on the EPBD.

This study examines the scale of the challenge to stop using gas as source of domestic heat at a national level and how, as an example, an urban area such as East Birmingham might address that challenge.
