On Friday, 10 October, the OBSERVE clustering workshop “Data & tools for decarbonisation of the European building stock” took place in Milan as part of Sustainable Places 2025, gathering key experts and EU projects to discuss how data and digital tools can accelerate Europe’s transition towards a decarbonised, smarter building stock.
Co-organised by Demo-BLog, OBSERVE, OpenBEP4EU, Building Renovation Passports, and LEGOFIT, the workshop highlighted the vital role of digital building logbooks, data interoperability, and innovative calculation engines in supporting renovation strategies and next-generation Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs).
🔍 Key discussion points
- National EPB databases and data frameworks enabling better decision-making for building performance
- Digital renovation passports as tools to guide homeowners and professionals through the renovation journey
- Common challenges and synergies across EU-funded initiatives to foster collaboration and alignment with the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)
- Opportunities for data-driven policymaking, ensuring transparency, efficiency, and measurable impact across Europe’s building sector
🤝 A collaborative path forward
The session encouraged strong interaction between participants, underlining the importance of cross-project collaboration and shared data ecosystems to unlock the full potential of digitalisation in the construction and renovation landscape.
A big thank you to all the speakers, project representatives, and attendees for your contributions and enthusiasm. Your insights are helping to shape the future of energy-efficient, data-driven renovation in Europe. 🌱
