Background info
Europe’s building stock is responsible for nearly 40% of energy consumption and 36% of CO₂ emissions, making it a critical sector in the EU’s path toward climate neutrality. Achieving a sustainable, low-carbon future requires coordinated action — combining technological innovation, financial mechanisms, and inclusive policies that drive large-scale renovation and energy efficiency.

The theme “Supporting the Energy Transition for the Building Stock” reflects this urgency, focusing on how research, industry, and governance can work together to accelerate the transformation of Europe’s buildings into energy-efficient, resilient, and climate-neutral spaces.
