Europe's Buildings under the Microscope

  • Published on December 18, 2014
As there is a lack of comprehensive data on buildings at European level, BPIE compiled and analysed date from all 27 EU Member States as well as Norway and Switzerland to provide a clear picture of the European building stock. The collected data allowed to determine the energy and CO2 saving potential of Europe's buildings and to model a variety of scenarios for the systematic renovation of the European building stock until 2050. The objective is to put European policy making on a more solid basis by providing the statistics for a fact-based discussion on how to leverage the energy saving potential of EU buildings while maximising environmental, economic, and social benefits. The study was launched on October 11 in the context of the Renovate Europe Day, an industry-led initiative calling for a higher percentage of deep renovations up until 2050 (www.renovate-europe.eu). The report provides the analytical basis for a five-year campaign, (“Renovate Europe”), which was kick-started that day and is to be continued at Member State level.
