Following the three principles of the New European Bauhaus - inclusion, beauty and sustainability - the LIFE Bauhausing Europe project will ‘re-imagine’ five public buildings and their surrounding in five European cities.
Using an innovative methodology, the project works with potential or current users of these buildings to identify their needs, which are then shared with a panel of experts who use their findings to design the basis for an open contest for renovation projects. Improving energy efficiency is one of the technical requirements to be included in the tender documents.
Energy efficiency retrofitting of buildings is a topic high on the EU policy agenda since buildings are identified as one of the main sources of energy savings.
The EXPERT TALKS series, an initiative by the BUILD UP portal, features face-to-face interviews with experts from across Europe, offering diverse perspectives on energy efficiency in buildings. These interviews delve into relevant topics aligned with the Topic of the Month, providing valuable insights, experiences, and expertise to the BUILD UP audience.
Policymakers must step up and deliver on climate targets by phasing out the installation of new fossil fuel boilers in the EU by 2030. Learn how in the new ECOS (Environmental Coalition on Standards) video.
Organised by RENOVERTY, iBroad2EPC, RENOCALLY, and GREEN Home, the event seeks to shine a spotlight on renovation roadmaps, emphasising the need for these communication instruments to be thoughtfully designed to accelerate renovations on a large scale.
BUILD2050 fosters sustainable, healthy European building practices through interdisciplinary courses aimed at decarbonising construction by 2050, supported by a network of academic and sector partners.
