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 respond to the real needs of organisations and professionals working with building data.

Who can participate?

The survey welcomes stakeholders working in areas such as:

  • Policymaking
  • Research
  • Industry
  • Finance
  • Standardisation
  • Energy efficiency
  • Building data
  • Decarbonisation

Your experience can help identify existing needs and challenges and contribute to the development of more useful national building data systems.

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 takes part in EUSEW 2026 policy session on local heating and cooling plans

OBSERVE was pleased to take part in the European Sustainable Energy Week 2026 policy session “Local heating and cooling plans: operationalising the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and the Energy Efficiency Directive”, held on 11 June 2026. The session brought together DG ENER, OBSERVE, sister LIFE CET projects and several European initiatives to discuss how better building-level data, stronger interoperability and local evidence can support the effective implementation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) at local level. From fragmented data to actionable insights A
