Retrofitting public buildings is crucial to meeting Europe’s energy efficiency goals. But can new knowledge in retrofitting be replicated across the EU?

A technology recovering low-temperature waste heat and turning it into electricity is gaining momentum

Innovative solutions offer decentralised ventilation integrated into building features

A new technology to concentrate solar power provides a new, more efficient way of generating electricity

Passive technologies can maximise primary energy reduction and economic investment in existing buildings

A novel modular technology paves the way for a potential 50% decrease in monthly energy bills of public buildings 

A new project explores a new path to reduce energy consumption by combining latest sustainable building technologies in public buildings

A show case performed in Liege, Belgium, demonstrates how to turn a high school into an energy efficient and comfortable learning environment

A hospital in Aydin, Turkey, will serve as a test case to demonstrate that it is possible to reduce its energy consumption by 50%, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions, with retrofitting solutions

A showcase project to reduce an old school building's energy consumption is a goldmine of teaching opportunities for engineering students

Energy efficient building companies join forces with researchers to cut the energy bill of existing buildings using both passive and active designs to reach energy efficiency.
