Buildings need to be made more energy efficient: this is instrumental in meeting the EU's climate goals.

This position paper refers to a workshop which took place during the Sustainable Places 2021 Conference, focusing on the outcome of six Horizon 2020 projects. It assesses the challenges and barriers (including circularity) in terms of developing, adopting and/or implementing Zero Energy Renovation Kits, which address the need for efficient, sustainable and customisable deep-renovation solutions.

32 technological, market, financial, legal, and institutional challenges and barriers were identified. The workshop also explored strategies that could overcome them.

The paper presents a coherent framework mapping strategies for tackling these challenges and barriers.

The C2Lab is a co-creation space to mature project ideas and build business cases to support with other participants, potentially from other regions, countries, or sectors. The second edition of the Cluster Collaboration Labs will take place in Lund, Sweden, on 21-22 March 2023.

This interactive workshop is open to cluster organisations, companies, research organisations, actors from the civil society, and other interested entities. Before and during the lab, the participants will team up and develop together their project idea and business case that support the green and digital transition.

On 10 March the European Commission organised a short online information session to explain the objectives of the recently published open public consultation on new product priorities under Ecodesign for Sustainable Products. The session also set out the type of feedback sought and briefly presented the preliminary analysis – on which the consultation is based – that was carried out by the Commission’s Joint Research Centre. 
 

Join the European Commission Green Public Procurement Helpdesk's webinar on Public Procurement of Green and Circular Skills, which will take place on 10 March at 10:00 - 11:30 CET and is free of charge.

The webinar will analyse how public procurement can be used as a strategic tool that can support the upskilling and reskilling of the workforce and help futureproof the IT and furniture sectors.
