A coalition of organisations from the building sector is calling on the European Commission to implement action to improve the efficiency of buildings<\/h2>\n

The European Commission<\/a> is being urged to implement a continent-wide strategy to improve the energy efficiency of building stock<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The call to action was brought by a coalition of businesses within the sector. The coalition wants the commission to set out a clear strategy for its 2050 vision that aligns with the EU\u2019s 2030 energy and climate objectives.<\/p>\n

Forty-two representatives from the EU building sector wrote a letter addressed to commission president Jean-Claude Junker<\/a> and Vice-President Frans Timmermans<\/a>. The contents called for a \u201cNearly Zero Energy\u201d building stock by 2050, stating this would provide jobs and economic growth in line with the commitments set out in the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n

The letter stated: “It is clear that the Paris commitment cannot be honoured without drastically reducing energy consumption in our buildings; the EU building stock emits over one-third of our CO2 emissions, three-quarters of our buildings are inefficient, and up to four-fifths will still be in use in 2050.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need EU wide action to drive the transformation of our inefficient building stock and make it a resilient component of the energy system of the 21st<\/sup> century.”<\/p>\n

It continued: “EU wide leadership and action in the construction and building sector will spur European jobs and growth (in particular for SMEs which make up 90 per cent of the construction sector).<\/p>\n

\u201cA high level political commitment for renovation will give industry the much needed signal and certainty to unlock investments, in turn removing some of the market failures.<\/p>\n

“Most of all, making Europe\u2019s buildings better through a mass EU-wide renovation movement will bring invaluable benefits to the whole of society by helping deliver something that every European citizen wants and deserves: a comfortable, safe and affordable home.\u201d<\/p>\n
