EUSEW 2026: a high-level session on building data, energy efficiency and local heating and cooling planning

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: the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED).

As Europe moves towards a cleaner and more efficient energy system, reliable data is becoming essential to support local authorities, policymakers and stakeholders in designing practical and evidence-based solutions.

One of the key challenges addressed during the session will be the need to move from fragmented data to actionable insights. Building-level data can play an important role in improving local energy planning, especially when it comes to heating and cooling needs, renovation strategies and decarbonisation pathways.

By bringing together experts and stakeholders, the session will provide an opportunity to discuss practical approaches to data use, interoperability and digitalisation in support of local heating and cooling plans.

Skills2Decarb: Soft Skills to Drive the Twin Transition

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

Skills2Decarb: soft skills per guidare il cambiamento

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

OBSERVE General Assembly in Brussels: Turning Project Results into Impact

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

Shape the Future of Building Data in Europe: OBSERVE Stakeholder Survey

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
