The ODYSEE-MURE project provides updated databases and tools to help the European Commission member states to implement the framework of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) in the European Union in the most efficient way possible. These tools have already been used in the past and will now be extended from 27 EU member states to 9 Central and Eastern European countries.

The Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre (AIVC) is the official information centre of the International Energy Agency (IEA) about energy efficient building ventilation. This portal contains a huge database of technical publications in this field and also publishes a newsletter with the main developments in the sector. It also holds an annual conference.

The European Construction Technology Platform (ECTP) aims to analyse the equity, technological development and sustainability challenges facing the construction sector, with the objective of improving performance worldwide.

The SUNREY project addresses the causes that are holding back the deployment of perovskite photovoltaics, such as their poor stability, short lifetime in the field and the harmfulness of their materials on health and the environment, in order to solve them. The aim of this project is to combine high efficiency with a long lifetime and to reduce emissions and manufacturing costs compared to Si. This will generate new opportunities for companies in the consortium, such as independent power sources, Building Applied Utility Power (BAPV) Building-Integrated Photovoltaics.

The CircEUlar project aims to understand the transformation of society towards a net-zero emission circular economy, through a perspective that takes into account the extension of the useful life of materials, their recycling and waste treatment.

The aim of this project is to foster coordination between administrative institutions and society, as well as with local stakeholders, on the path towards energy transition and a low-carbon society. thus, knowledge and experience will be exchanged within the project, and the implementation of the Sustainable Energy (and Climate) Action Plan (SE(C)AP) will also be accelerated.

The EUCityCalc project will provide 10 pilot cities with the necessary tools and training on the road to climate neutrality. This is a goal that many cities have set themselves, but few have developed strategies to achieve it, so this project will measure the impact of the decisions taken and the policy scenarios to be adopted.

Currently, the belief that citizens and communities are only end-consumers of energy is deeply rooted in the Western Balkans. In this context, the Balkan Solar Roofs project aims to install 500 new solar roofs for the duration of the project (2021-2024). The cities where it will be implemented are Poreč - Parenzo (Croatia), Mostar (BiH) and Kragujevac (Serbia).

The DAYCOP project emphasises that building professionals must take into account the spectral characteristic of light in the built environment, which is increasing worldwide. In addition, the project advocates the need for urban planning policies that ensure the quality of life in these new urban areas.

The HYPERIA project is developing a camera that will make it possible to measure not only the colour of objects, but also spectral signatures that can be used for physico-chemical analysis of materials. This could be applied to the inspection of building materials.
