Topic of the Month
Each month a relevant topic and several sub-topics are covered in detail. For the Topic of the Month, content following a common thread is developed by the BUILD UP Editorial Board in collaboration with the Board of Ambassadors and other relevant experts in the field. This includes producing articles, case studies, webinars and more, all in line with the specific topic selected. Relevant events are also identified and highlighted.
Topics of the Month are announced at the end of the previous month in our website and newsletter. Please write us if you wish to know more about our upcoming topics of the month.
In July and August, the ToM is 'How to maximise solar energy in buildings', with subtopics like:
- Solar systems and storage
- Hybrid solar systems (PV+HP, PVT&SH+HT, others)
- Business models to finance solar energy in buildings
and more!
How can Member States maximise energy production from solar technologies through the equitable and effective transposition of Article 10 of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)?
Explore how the integration of solar energy is reshaping European building stock and helping Europe reach net-zero emissions.
The MiniStor system is a compact thermal energy storage solution that combines calcium chloride/ammonia thermochemical material with parallel hot and cold phase change materials. This article explores its potential for sustainable energy applications when paired with smart control strategies.
A pioneering energy system merges solar and biomass to deliver electricity, heat, hydrogen, and propane. Designed for decarbonised buildings, it achieves high efficiency while turning waste into clean fuel, marking a bold step towards sustainable living.
Solar Heat Europe’s guidance on the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) solar mandate provides key insights for the fair and effective implementation of solar technologies in buildings.
This paper unveils how solar, wind, and geothermal power are reshaping architecture. Blending innovation with sustainability, it charts a bold course for buildings that not only consume less but also give back more. A blueprint for a greener built environment.
