Building conversations up with... Kristian Strand, President of Danfoss Climate Solutions.
Heat pumps are increasingly recognised as a cornerstone of Europe’s building‑sector transition. This article reviews the regulatory framework enabling their deployment, recent market developments, and the opportunities and challenges of integrating them across Europe’s diverse building stock.
Four topics, one key debate and a collective decision. BUILD UP invites you to vote for the Topic of the Month that will shape the portal’s editorial coverage in December 2026. Through this survey, you can help identify the topic that deserves greater attention within the building sector.
A new Commission document provides guidance for authorities and building professionals on applying a whole life-cycle carbon approach, integrating operational and embodied emissions while promoting renovation, circularity and better use of the existing building stock.
BUILD UP launches a new video series showcasing real-life energy-efficiency examples across Europe. The first case study features the Ruiz Picasso Building in Madrid, a compelling example of how existing buildings can be transformed into sustainable, high-performance and digitally enabled assets.
