National Building Renovation Plans: the delivery challenge

EU countries have to make buildings energy efficient and zero carbon by 2050. They set out how they’ll do this in documents called ‘National Building Renovation Plans’  (NBRPs). 

Renovating buildings is essential not only to reduce energy bills and to strengthen energy security, but also to make homes healthier and more comfortable. 

So, how are EU countries doing on their plans? Climate consultants CLIMACT analysed drafts from 15 Member States, supported by EHPA and nine other organisations. 

What did it find? That the main weakness lies not in the ambition of the plans, but in the delivery of that ambition. 

Find below the executive report, country assessment sheets and cross-cutting analysis.  The countries analysed were Spain, Netherlands, France, Romania, Slovenia, Poland, Belgium-Wallonia, Finland, Germany, Croatia, Denmark, Austria, Bulgaria, Sweden and Portugal.
