Residential & commercial buildings account for 40 % of EU’s final energy use . Energy efficiency strategies can reduce a building’s energy consumption by 50% to 70% and renewable energy technologies must be used to reach the goal of a net-zero energy building.

The EU Buildings sector is key to reach 20/20/20 targets and it is the sector where progress towards sustainability is cheapest to reach. Figures set that annual construction rate of new buildings is in the order of 1 % of the building stock, demolition rate 0,5 %, and retrofit 1,8 % . Business as usual won’t be good enough to reach the EU’s climate & energy targets.

A combined approach on both the demand and the supply side is needed on the road to “Nearly-zero energy buildings” that integrated different approaches (from legislation to technical solution to qualification of workforce to public awareness)
