OBSERVE to take part in the European Sustainable Energy Week 2026

May 28, 2026

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 moment for Europe’s energy transition

Over three days, EUSEW 2026 will bring together policymakers, researchers, industry representatives, public authorities, civil society organisations and energy stakeholders from across Europe.

The programme will include a three-day Policy Conference, the European Sustainable Energy Awards Ceremony, the Energy Fair, the European Youth Energy Day, as well as Sustainable Energy Days organised in online and physical formats worldwide.

These sessions will offer an important space to exchange ideas, present solutions and discuss the future of Europe’s clean energy transition.

OBSERVE’s participation

For OBSERVE, EUSEW 2026 represents a valuable opportunity to engage with European stakeholders working on energy efficiency, building stock data, policy implementation and the decarbonisation of the built environment.

By supporting the development of national Building Stock Observatories, OBSERVE contributes to better data availability, improved decision-making and stronger implementation of European energy and building policies.

Participation in EUSEW will allow the project to connect with other initiatives, share perspectives and contribute to wider discussions on how reliable data and practical tools can support a cleaner, more efficient and more competitive Energy Union.

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.

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

Understanding Cyprus’ Building Data Ecosystem: Insights from Euphyia Tech

Reliable building data is essential for understanding the performance of the building stock and supporting informed decisions on energy efficiency and the transition towards more sustainable buildings. Within the OBSERVE project, Euphyia Tech has recently contributed to the analysis of the Cypriot building data ecosystem, focusing on existing data sources, current limitations and opportunities for improved integration. Mapping existing building data in Cyprus The analysis examined the national systems and datasets currently supporting the monitoring of building energy performance in

From EPC to Smart Readiness: SmarterEPC methodology is now a training for assessors

The revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) is changing the role of building energy assessments. Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are expected to become more accurate, more reliable and better connected with other assessment tools supporting building renovation and smart technologies.
Achieving this requires more than updated calculation methods. It also depends on the quality and consistency of the information collected during on-site inspections.
This is where the SmarterEPC beta training comes in.

Croatia moves towards a National Building Stock Observatory

Work carried out within the OBSERVE project is supporting Croatia in developing a more integrated, reliable and accessible building data ecosystem. Following an initial phase focused on mapping existing initiatives and engaging relevant stakeholders, the Croatian project activities have progressed towards a detailed assessment of the national policy framework and available building data. The work included a comprehensive analysis of how key European legislation is being implemented in Croatia, including the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, the Energy Efficiency Directive,

OBSERVE presented at the Torroja Seminar on climate and energy efficiency

On 11 June, the Instituto de Ciencias de la Construcción Eduardo Torroja, IETcc-CSIC, hosted the Torroja Seminar entitled “Climate and energy efficiency in the built environment: the European i4c and OBSERVE projects” in Madrid. The event brought together experts working at the intersection of buildings, climate and data to discuss how better access to reliable information can support the energy transition of the European building stock. During the seminar, Rafael Villar, Marta Sorribes and Daniel Jiménez, members of the IETcc-CSIC
