The OBSERVE project aims to assist EU Member States in establishing national building stock observatories in compliance with the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).
“Latest Updates and Breakthroughs from EU-Funded Research and Development Projects”
OBSERVE was pleased to take part in the European Sustainable Energy Week 2026 policy session “Local heating and cooling plans: operationalising the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and the Energy Efficiency Directive”, held on 11 June 2026. The session brought together DG ENER, OBSERVE, sister LIFE CET projects and several European initiatives to discuss how better building-level data, stronger interoperability and local evidence can support the effective implementation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) at local level. From fragmented data to actionable insights A
As part of the European Sustainable Energy Week 2026, a high-level session will take place on 11 June, from 14:00 to 15:30, at the Charlemagne Building, Jenkins Room. The session will focus on energy efficiency in buildings, local heating and cooling planning, and the role of building-level data in accelerating building decarbonisation. Supporting the implementation of the EPBD and EED The discussion will explore how digitalisation and better use of data in the heating and cooling sector can support the effective implementation of two major European policy frameworks:
As part of the European Sustainable Energy Week 2026, OBSERVE is pleased to highlight the policy session “Local heating and cooling plans: operationalising the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and the Energy Efficiency Directive”, taking place on Thursday 11 June 2026, from 14:00 to 15:30, in Brussels. Organised by DG ENER in collaboration with OBSERVE and sister LIFE CET projects, this session will focus on a key challenge for Europe’s clean energy transition: how to move from fragmented building and energy data to actionable
On 30 March 2026, IEECP, coordinator of the OBSERVE project, organised a closed meeting in Athens with senior representatives from the Greek Ministry of Energy and Environment and key stakeholders from the Greek building sector. The meeting provided an opportunity to introduce OBSERVE and discuss how the project can support ongoing work linked to the implementation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). In particular, the exchange focused on the growing need for reliable building stock data, stronger monitoring
OBSERVE is pleased to announce its participation in the European Sustainable Energy Week 2026, taking place from 9 to 11 June 2026 in a hybrid format, onsite in Brussels and online. Organised by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Energy and the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA), EUSEW is the biggest annual event dedicated to renewables and efficient energy use in Europe. This year marks the 20th edition of the event, under the theme: “A clean, secure and competitive Energy Union” A key
The hybrid event “Supporting EPBD implementation: Practical solutions developed by EU-funded initiatives”, organised by the European Commission and the LIFE Programme, has now officially concluded after a full day of exchanges in Brussels and online. Held at the Charlemagne Building of the European Commission, the event gathered policymakers, technical experts, public authorities, researchers and EU-funded initiatives working on the implementation of the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) across Europe. As EU Member States move from transposition to implementation,
