Within our EU-funded project Cultural-E, we are developing the PEB HUB, a community-powered by Plus Energy Building professionals working on multifamily-residential buildings.
The hottest day on record highlights how poorly designed buildings worsen heat risks and emissions, fueling a dangerous cycle of escalating climate extremes.
The Journal of Building Design and Environment is inviting researchers to contribute articles on improving energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and occupant well-being in the built environment.
The paper highlights that green heating and cooling technologies, despite their benefits, are underused in Europe due to barriers such as dependence on fossil fuels and insufficient expertise; however, targeted policies and innovations could enhance their adoption and contribute to achieving climate goals.
This workshop brings together at Sustainable Places 2024 four EU-funded innovation projects: DigiBUILD, MODERATE, BuildON and DEDALUS, which present and discuss their achievements on two intertwined topics: data models & interoperability and data-driven services.
Households contribute 40% of UK greenhouse gas emissions, and habits like temperature preferences and window use impact energy consumption, underscoring the need for both sustainable home design and resident education.
EAE’s Energy Efficiency Guide is a meta-study that summarises relevant facts and figures about the energy efficiency of Europe’s building stock, relevant legislation, technical developments and how ETICS contribute to achieving Europe’s environmental, economic and social objectives. It condenses the evidence of numerous global, European and national scientific studies and provides recommendations on what can be done to triple the number of buildings undergoing deep or staged deep renovations or new buildings to become net carbon neutral by 2050.
The paper reviews advancements in phase change materials (PCMs) for building envelopes, highlighting their benefits for thermal regulation and energy efficiency while addressing challenges and exploring hybrid technologies for improved performance.
