Happy to announce our latest scientific publication and share insights! 😊 #researchupdate 🇪🇺 The study explores the EU's decarbonisation journey, focusing on the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) implementation in the EU countries. 📊 Harmonized data allows cross-country comparisons, revealing impactful trends across climatic zones and policy insights at the EU level. 💡A key output is that the final energy consumption of EU buildings could be reduced by 14%, while direct GHG emissions could be cut by 35% by 2030 (compare to 2019 level) if Member States follow their indicative renovation targets. By 2050, the EU building stock might phase out almost entirely the fossil fuels! 📉 Although progress is evident, challenges are part of the journey. Member States must ramp up renovations for zero-emission buildings. Exciting times ahead with the recast EPBD driving building decarbonisation! 🏗️🏡♻️ 🔍 For further insights check out the paper at the following link: https://lnkd.in/deThVenY Co-authored with Delia D'Agostino, Sofia Tsemekidi, Luca Castellazzi, Giulia Melica, and Paolo Bertoldi EU Science, Research and Innovation Published in Energy and Buildings #energyefficiency #EPBD #buildingrenovation #energypolicy #renovationwave
