The EU Buildings Climate Tracker is a benchmark and assessment tool checking on the status of the EU building stock and its progress towards climate neutrality by 2050. The paper gives more details regarding the methodology and results.

AIVC's Ventilation Information Paper #45.2: Trends in building and ductwork airtightness in Spain summarizes current knowledge on trends in building and ductwork airtightness in Spain.

AIVC's Ventilation Information Paper #45.1: Trends in building and ductwork airtightness in Estonia, summarizes current knowledge on trends in building and ductwork airtightness in Estonia.

This report presents a comprehensive review of studies that deal with building airtightness durability.

The AIVC (Air infiltration and Ventilation Centre) is the International Energy Agency’s information centre on energy efficient ventilation. In commemoration of the 40th anniversary of its creation, 2 overview publications were published presenting the history and main target of the organisation. 

The AIVC (Air infiltration and Ventilation Centre) is the International Energy Agency’s information centre on energy efficient ventilation. As the AIVC was created in 1979, the 40th anniversary of the AIVC was celebrated in October 2019 at the 40th AIVC conference in Ghent.

As the electrification is growing, cold climate air source heat pumps are starting to substitute thermal loads which are served by fossil-fuels. It is therefore important to assess their implementation and performance in the residential sector.

Ten European Green Building Councils have developed national and regional decarbonisation roadmaps to implement the European Green Deal. Those roadmaps tackle the whole-life environmental impacts of the building and construction sector.

Raising citizen's awareness from a young age on the themes of decarbonisation, climate change and climate neutrality is very important to eventually reach the targets. Hence, the city of Manchester has established the non-profit Manchester Climate Change (MCC) Agency which supports such actions.

The Energy Efficiency First (EE1st) principle has experienced different implementations. This report deep-dives into the implementation of this policy in Germany, Hungary and Spain. Making EE1st a reality requires a systemic approach to policymaking, with integrated planning and investment decisions.
