Decarbonisation, the circular economy, and digitalisation represent the most pressing challenges for construction professionals today. The green and digital twin transition has exposed a significant skills gap that affects both those who design and build, and those who provide training. This gap is not merely technical: there is a critical need for the ability to observe challenges from diverse perspectives, collaborate effectively across the value chain, and make decisions under uncertainty. In Skills2Decarb, we address this need through a comprehensive

Decarbonizzazione, economia circolare e digitalizzazione sono le sfide più cruciali e immediate per i professionisti dell’edilizia. La doppia transizione green e digitale mette in evidenza un divario di competenze che riguarda sia chi progetta e costruisce sia chi forma. Non è solo un gap tecnico: servono anche la capacità di osservare le criticità da prospettive diverse, di lavorare con altri attori e di decidere in condizioni di incertezza. In Skills2Decarb la risposta a questo bisogno si costruisce attraverso un percorso

The recordings of the Data-ready for 2027 event are now available on the European Commission’s YouTube channel. Revisit the discussions on building-stock data, national implementation priorities and the EU-funded tools supporting the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).

Within OBSERVE, ENEA is working with UPRC and EURAC to develop a reference framework for National Building Stock Observatories, combining a Minimal Common Dataset, data architecture and governance procedures to support more consistent building-stock data exchange.

With one year remaining before the end of the OBSERVE project, partners came together in Brussels on Monday for a General Assembly focused on the next phase of the project and, importantly, on how its results can create lasting value beyond the project itself. Hosted by the EPB Center and the Institute for European Energy and Climate Policy (IEECP), the meeting brought together partners for an intense exchange on the progress achieved so far and the work still ahead. A

Reliable and harmonised building data are essential for understanding Europe’s building stock, supporting energy efficiency, and informing the transition towards more sustainable buildings. Through the OBSERVE EU project, stakeholders are invited to contribute their perspectives on building data availability, needs and challenges. Supporting National Building Stock Observatories The survey will help support the development of national Building Stock Observatories (nBSOs) in six EU Member States: 🇨🇾 Cyprus🇪🇸 Spain🇫🇷 France🇬🇷 Greece🇭🇷 Croatia🇮🇹 Italy The aim is to ensure that these observatories
