The EU Building Stock Observatory (BSO) has undergone the most substantial upgrade since its inception in 2016. In March 2024, the Commission launched a new version that offers an improved user interface and data availability.

With these major upgrades, this open-source web platform on building’s energy performance in the EU, is ready to become the central data hub on the European building stock.

What's new? 

• Increased dataset with additional indicators and a higher level of detail
• A new user interface that offers advanced user experience

The BSO is structured in two main parts, factsheets and database, each meeting different user needs. 

A video tutorial and a user manual are available on the BSO website to provide guidance on how to use the tool and access the data.

Join us for an interactive and practical webinar as we unveil the newly launched EU Building Stock Observatory - the Commission's central tool for EU and Member States building stock data. 

You will learn how to use this upgraded version offering more data, new features and an improved user experience. 

Join us as we unveil the newly launched EU Building Stock Observatory – the Commission’s tool for EU and Member State building stock data and poised to play a pivotal role in the upcoming EPBD recast. Alongside, we will showcase the achievements of BuiltHub, an Horizon 2020 project, that created a roadmap to continuously enhance buildings’ data thanks to a strong community of stakeholders.

This event promises an interactive space where the crucial topic of building stock data within the EU will take centre stage.  

The BSO development work is funded through a LIFE service contract managed by CINEA (European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency) and is led by partners Guidehouse, BPIE (Buildings Performance Institute of Europe), EURAC Research, TU Wien and the Danish Energy Agency (DEA), in close coordination with DG ENER and DG DIGIT.
