The European Survey on the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and Energy Renovation Policies is now open for participation. This initiative seeks insights from professionals across the building and energy sectors to identify key challenges in achieving sustainable, energy-efficient buildings across Europe.

Inspired by nature, the FlectoLine façade is revolutionising architectural design by dynamically adapting to changing climatic conditions. This bioinspired innovation offers a promising solution for reducing energy consumption without relying on complex mechanical systems.

As a smart and sustainable building, Purple Tower is setting new benchmarks for energy performance in East Africa’s real estate sector. With integrated green technologies, it aims to significantly reduce operational costs while fostering a more resilient model of urban development.

The Nordic Smart Building Initiative (NSBI) establishes a collaborative platform to enhance energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and sustainability across Nordic countries, setting a new benchmark for smart building innovation.

Europe is facing challenges in replacing outdated building technologies, which hinder the decarbonisation of the construction sector. The project META BUILD is leveraging advanced technologies to optimise energy efficiency, enhance smart building integration, and support the EU’s climate neutrality goals.

In line with the European Commission's Renovation Wave initiative, REHOUSE is accelerating deep, energy-efficient renovations that will reduce energy consumption by more than 60%, improve quality of life and boost job creation across the green building sector.

El proyecto, impulsado por el Green Building Council España (GBCE), se alza con el Premio de Sostenibilidad por su innovadora metodología para medir la huella de carbono en edificios, marcando un hito en la construcción sostenible en España.

Sustainable Buildings Canada is spearheading the adoption of advanced energy codes, demonstrating that even the most demanding standards can be met using current technologies.

The construction of tomorrow demands a paradigm shift: sustainability, energy efficiency, and environmental stewardship are emerging as fundamental pillars. The German Institute for Construction Technology (DIBt) is leading this transformation through guidelines incorporating ecological, social, and economic considerations.

Despite efforts to improve energy efficiency, new-build homes in the UK are facing unexpectedly high energy costs. Poor construction standards and outdated building practices have led to increased energy consumption, raising concerns about the effectiveness of current regulations.
