About the project
In the EU, renovation rates are currently 1% a year, well below the 2.5% recommended by the IEA to reach net zero by 2050. What's more, buildings are responsible for 40% of energy consumption and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU.
With our project partners, we’re working to unleash a renovation revolution in Europe’s built environment, shining a light on the latest energy efficiency innovations and exploring how governments and corporates can scale them up to drive down emissions in European buildings.
Together we are uncovering the barriers and opportunities around increased deep renovation rates in Europe, including financial barriers, regulatory hurdles, and the differing priorities of landlords of tenants. Opportunities include improved health and wellbeing, cost savings, and enhanced energy security.
