AcknowlEdgEmEnts This project was initiated by Tudor Constantinescu, first BPIE executive director and continued by Rod Janssen in his function as Interim Executive Director of BPIE. Rod Janssen, board member of eceee, gave important drive in a critical stage of the project. We would like to thank both of them for their inspiration and guidance. BPIE would like to express its gratitude towards the steering committee of the project for providing ongoing direction and support. This report was developed by BPIE with the input of various people. We would like to thank the following team of country experts for sharing their valuable knowledge with us and helping us develop an understanding of the situation in their respective country: AEA, Austrian Energy Agency IENE, Institute of Energy for South East Europe FEWE, Polish Foundation for Energy Efficiency 3E Consulting BSERC, Black Sea Energy Research Centre IENE, Institute of Energy for South East Europe SEVEn SBi, Danish Building Research Institute EKVU MOTIVA Hubert Despretz, Expert at ADEME Wuppertal Institute CEU 3csep SEAI, Sustainable Energy Authority Ireland Marco Caponigro, Individual Expert and ENEA (ENEA Energy Efficiency Unit) PAIC, Centre of processes, analysis and research Rimantas Sevastijančiukas, Individual expert Mario Fsadni, Individual expert Ministry of housing, Spatial Planning & Environment ADENE, Portuguese Energy Agency VITAstal and Horia Petran, URBAN-INCERC TSUS, Building Testing and Research Institute Building and Civil Engineering Institute ETRES Consulting BOVERKET, Lund University EST, Energy Saving Trust INFRAS SINTEF BPIE is thankful to the advisory committee of the project for being a sounding board and for providing challenging feedback in a constructive and enthusiastic manner. The advisory committee was represented by: Céline Carré, Eurima Susanne Dyrbøl, EuroACE Pascal Eveillard, Eurima Michaela Holl, DG Energy, EC Adrian Joyce, EuroACE Jens Laustsen, Independent Consultant Oliver Loebel, PU Europe Yamina Saheb, International Energy Agency Constant Van Aerschot, Lafarge/WBCSD Rick Wilberforce, Glass for Europe 6 | Europe’s buildings under the microscope
ExEcutivE summAry From the emotional to the architectural value, buildings occupy a key place in our lives and society as a whole. Yet, the energy performance of our buildings is generally so poor that the levels of energy consumed in buildings place the sector among the most significant CO 2 emissions sources in Europe. While new buildings can be constructed with high performance levels, it is the older buildings, representing the vast majority of the building stock, which are predominantly of low energy performance and subsequently in need of renovation work. With their potential to deliver high energy and CO 2 savings as well as many societal benefits, energy efficient buildings can have a pivotal role in a sustainable future. Achieving the energy savings in buildings is a complex process. Policy making in this field requires a meaningful understanding of several characteristics of the building stock. Reducing the energy demand requires the deployment of effective policies which in turn makes it necessary to understand what affects people’s decision making processes, the key characteristics of the building stock, the impact of current policies etc. Amid the current political discussions at EU level, BPIE has undertaken an extensive survey across all EU Member States, Switzerland and Norway reviewing the situation in terms of the building stock characteristics and policies in place. This survey provides an EU-wide picture of the energy performance of the building stock and how existing policies influence the situation. The data collected was also used to develop scenarios that show pathways to making the building stock much more energy efficient, in line with the EU 2050 roadmap.
