Data and tools for evaluating solar radiation and photovoltaic system performance across different regions, supporting the planning and optimization of solar energy projects.

Financing the energy renovation of residential buildings through soft loans and third-party investement schemes

A guide for replicating successful energy efficiency projects across Europe, providing resources, case studies, and strategies to scale up building renovation initiatives.

The document exposes the Opengela Program in the Basque Country, its operational characteristics, and main milestones and indicators to guide the Program’s scalability.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is key to ensuring that holistic renovations are genuinely sustainable. While improving energy efficiency is crucial—like better insulation or heating upgrades—LCA helps us look beyond just immediate energy savings and consider the full environmental impact of the renovation, including the production, transportation, use, and disposal of materials. For EU-PEERS.EU members, this means making renovation choices that not only save energy today but also reduce waste and emissions throughout a building's entire life cycle, ensuring that every decision benefits both comfort and the planet in the long term.

The EES framework provides standards for deep energy renovations of residential buildings, guaranteeing energy efficiency while ensuring transparency and trust in the market. It sets requirements for materials, certifications, financial and contractual processes, and performance measurement, involving stakeholders like professionals, craftsmen, market operators, and building owners. The framework aims to support high-quality renovations to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact, fostering a sustainable, low-carbon future for residential housing.

When renovating buildings, especially with energy efficiency as the priority, it’s easy to focus only on the immediate energy savings—like adding insulation or upgrading heating systems. But if we only consider these upgrades in isolation, we might miss the bigger picture of their total impact on the environment.

This handbook presents in a clear and simple manner both the theory and application for the renovation of multifamily buildings based on Energy Performance Contracting. The handbook addresses building built in series since the 50s, corresponding to more than 50m m2 in Latvia alone. It ofers solid grounding on building renovation and advice on improving building energy performance.
