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).
The Step-WISE project is a tailored and dynamic capacity-building programme for local and regional authorities to adopt ambitious Clean Energy Transition Plans.
Supporting South European municipalities in the definition of Sustainable Local Heating and Cooling Plans
“Latest Updates and Breakthroughs from EU-Funded Research and Development Projects”
DHC SwEEtch launches its first webinar to present methodologies, tools and early results supporting the decarbonisation of district heating and cooling networks across Europe. Discover insights from real case studies and future perspectives for the sector.
Deliverables submitted, in-depth diagnostics, technical architecture, the OBSERVE project is moving forward on several fronts simultaneously. Major Deliverables Submitted The TEESlab team at the University of Piraeus (UPRC) has been actively contributing to the OBSERVE project, with the submission of Deliverables D2.1, D2.2 and D3.2, alongside a contribution to Deliverable D3.1. This work builds on an extensive mobilisation effort: stakeholder interviews and focus groups, an EU-wide online survey, national policy analysis, and data mapping carried out across six countries: Croatia,
The OBSERVE project has reached a pivotal turning point. Over the past months, our consortium has made significant technical strides and strengthened its collaborative network to support the decarbonization of Europe’s building stock. As we enter the mid-phase of the project, we are pleased to share the key milestones achieved through the dedicated coordination of IEECP and the collective expertise of our partners. Strengthening our foundation: the Athens meeting A major highlight of this period was our second consortium meeting
SmarterEPC surveyed 25 building performance assessors to test the integration of Energy Performance Certificates with Smart Readiness Indicator assessments. The SmarterEPC methodology promises to streamline building audits under the revised EPBD, but assessors emphasise the need for clearer criteria, practical training, and digital tools to ensure successful implementation across Europe. Read what we found out.
On 4 and 5 November, the 2nd URBAN MOME Network Conference was held in Barcelona under the theme “Towards efficient urban environments through modelling, measurement and control in the built environment.” CIEMAT participated through its Building Energy Efficiency R&D Unit, presenting the European OBSERVE project and reaffirming its leading role within the URBAN MOME Network. Coordinated by CIEMAT, the Network provides a platform for knowledge exchange on modelling, measurement and control in the building sector, with the objective of improving
The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), introduced in Italy in 2005 with the 2002 EPBD Directive, is a fundamental tool for building management for owners, operators, and institutions alike. Aside from the benefits, what is the current state of EPCs in Italy? Every year, ENEA publishes a report on EPCs to analyze the state of the art of this certification, which is still not fully exploited in all its potential.
