META BUILD project (full name: Powering the METAmorphosis of BUILDings towards a decarbonised and sustainable energy system) is an innovation action funded by the European Union through the Horizon Europe Programme under the Grant Agreement No. 101138373. The project aims to boost Building Digitalisation and Intelligence (BDI) with a focus on Energy Efficiency by identifying, testing, and scaling innovative solutions that electrify, decarbonise, and digitalise the thermal energy systems of commercial and residential buildings. Ultimately META BUILD will deliver “Decarbonisation as a Service”. 

The innovative solutions will be demonstrated in six buildings located in diverse climates across Europe (Austria, Croatia, France, Greece, Italy, and Spain), while seven additional pilot sites (Bulgaria, France, Germany, Greece, Latvia, Poland, and Spain) will replicate the solutions that prove most successful.

A holistic approach will address challenges throughout the project implementation, including product manufacturing, energy solution design and engineering, construction, renovation, operation, and maintenance. Additionally META BUILD seeks to engage all stakeholders along the entire chain and contribute to support the Energy Efficiency first principle .
