Europe is facing challenges in replacing outdated building technologies, which hinder the decarbonisation of the construction sector. The project META BUILD is leveraging advanced technologies to optimise energy efficiency, enhance smart building integration, and support the EU’s climate neutrality goals.
In the context of the EU27 building stock, characterised by high energy demand for space heating, lowering operating temperatures in thermal systems emerges as a key strategy to enhance the seasonal efficiency of heat pumps.
Sustainable Buildings Canada is spearheading the adoption of advanced energy codes, demonstrating that even the most demanding standards can be met using current technologies.
The construction of tomorrow demands a paradigm shift: sustainability, energy efficiency, and environmental stewardship are emerging as fundamental pillars. The German Institute for Construction Technology (DIBt) is leading this transformation through guidelines incorporating ecological, social, and economic considerations.
Expertos y autoridades se reúnen en Madrid para trazar la hoja de ruta hacia la descarbonización del sector de la edificación. Tecnología, eficiencia y electrificación se consolidan como pilares clave para transformar los edificios en agentes activos de sostenibilidad urbana.
The new regulation on zero emission buildings redefines the role of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning), presenting regulatory challenges and key opportunities for innovation in smart control and energy efficiency.
The May 2025 edition of the TightVent Europe bi-annual newsletter is now available.
Sustainability in the built environment is emerging as a strategic pillar in response to the global challenges of climate change, rapid urbanisation, and the depletion of natural resources.
A new report from Europe’s leading companies in the manufacture, distribution, and installation of energy-efficient products, equipment, and building services highlights how investing in efficiency can create thousands of jobs, reduce energy costs, and strengthen the EU’s industrial leadership.
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).
