The H2020 RenoBooster project aims to increase the number of green renovations of private housing, thereby contributing to the decarbonisation of the city and to reaching the ambitious target to become climate neutral by 2040.

The Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) is a common EU scheme for rating the smart readiness of buildings. Lighting is one of the nine technical domains addressed by the SRI. Switching to more energy-efficient lighting products will save consumers an average of €30 per year and could preventing roughly 7 million tonnes of CO2 emissions in Europe per year.

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.

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.
