Topic of the month
The Topic of the Month explores how certification frameworks can support better design choices, reveal untapped improvement potential, assess economic viability through life-cycle costing, and connect energy performance with comfort, resilience, smartness and long-term value, helping buildings become more efficient, future-proof and aligned with EU climate objectives.

Popular on BUILD UP
Energy performance certificates and smart readiness frameworks increasingly emphasise operational performance, supporting automated rooftop solar inspection and maintenance as part of long-term building asset management.
Building certification in Europe is moving beyond energy performance to include renovation planning, smart readiness and sustainability. How are regulatory and voluntary frameworks evolving? How could interoperability support building decisions and the decarbonisation of Europe’s building stock?
Europe’s renovation ambitions involve decisions taken building by building. At BUILD UP’s latest online event, policymakers, finance specialists and local practitioners explored what it takes to turn the EPBD recast into projects on the ground.
La edificación sostenible en Europa avanza hacia un ecosistema más conectado. Mejorar la coordinación entre la regulación, la evaluación, las certificaciones voluntarias y los criterios de financiación sostenible permitirá reducir duplicidades y apoyar mejores decisiones técnicas y de inversión.
This month, we delve into 'Building certification: energy performance and beyond' with Cosmin Cotora, International Development Director at CERTIVEA.
The European Commission has launched infringement procedures against all 27 EU Member States for failing to fully transpose the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.
