Buildings emit 36% of the EU’s CO2 emissions, but current policies will reduce only a third of these emissions by 2050. Ahead of the Renovation Wave, a new ECF report recommends a roadmap for better, healthier and more sustainable homes.
Key elements
Benefits for EU citizens
- Healthier and better homes
- Lower energy bills
- More employment for the construction sector
Ahead of the EU Renovation Wave, this report urges the EU to change and upgrade current policy.

The report was conducted by CE Delft, with support from Climact for the modelling.
