Financing energy efficiency in buildings (28/08/2019)

The European Commission estimates that about 35 % of the EU's buildings are over 50 years old, and almost 75 % of the building stock is energy inefficient. At the same time, only 0.4-1.2 % of the building stock is renovated each year (depending on the country). This means that buildings are a key target to reduce primary energy use and greenhouse gas emissions and to generate renewable energy rather than consuming fossil fuels. Indeed, buildings should move from energy consumers to producers, contributing a significant share of renewable energy generation.
