    Goals / Remit

    The Buildings Performance Institute Europe (BPIE) is a not-for-profit think-tank with a focus on independent analysis and knowledge dissemination, supporting evidence-based policy-making in the field of energy performance in buildings, throughout Europe and beyond.
    BPIE has a multifaceted approach to achieving efficiency improvements in buildings, and promotes policy support to further improve regulatory measures, financial incentives and market conditions that lead to the construction and retrofit of buildings with a high energy performance. The focus is on ensuring the vigorous implementation of the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) across EU Member States, as well as to enhance financing of deep energy renovation of the existing buildings.
    BPIE provides open-source research, analysis, knowledge-sharing and advisory activities to the European Institutions, policy-makers in EU Member States and neighbouring countries (...)

    Main EU files targeted

    BPIE focuses on ensuring the implementation of the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), as well as the financing and delivery of energy efficiency retrofits to existing buildings. In order to do so, BPIE works together with policy makers to support evidence-based impactful policy making by providing data and knowledge through its Data Hub and through several reports. BPIE analyzed for instance the renovation strategies Member States had to submit according to article 4 of the EED, and wrote a report gathering recommendations for Member States and policy-makers at the EU level.
    BPIE has also been part of winning consortia for the Seventh Framework Programme for research and technological development (FP7) and the Intelligent Energy Europe programme (IEE) of the EU. BPIE is involved, in 2018, in the following EU projects:
    •HRE (Heat Roadmap Europe)-(2016-2019)
    The project will enable new policies as well as prepare the ground for new investments by creating more certainty in relation to the changes that are required. The project is covering 14 member states accounting for 85 to 90 % of the heating and cooling energy demand in the EU.
    •EmBuild-Empower public authorities to establish a long-term strategy for mobilizing investment in the energy efficient renovation of the building stock (2016-2018). With exploring and demonstrating the pioneer role of the public sector, this project aims to lead the way to an energy efficient building stock.
    •ExcEED - European Energy Efficient building district Database: from data to information to knowledge (2016-2019). ExcEED has the overall objective to create a European self-sustainable and dynamic database for measured and qualitative data on beyond the state of the art buildings and districts.
    •EUCalc - EU Calculator: trade-offs and pathways towards sustainable and low-carbon EU Societies (2016-2019).The EUCalc project will deliver an urgently needed comprehensive framework for research, business, and public sector decision makers which identifies and enables an appraisal of synergies and trade-offs of feasible European decarbonisation pathways.
    •iBRoad – Individual Building Renovation Roadmap (2017-2020).iBROAD aims to empower consumers and support them in taking informed decision concerning building renovation, based on their Individual Building Renovation Roadmaps. At the same time, this approach is expected to empower home-owners with knowledge and experience of deep renovation, to provide energy auditors with a practical tool and to provide public authorities with real-life examples of residential deep renovation.
    •X-tendo (2019-2022): eXTENDing the energy performance assessment and certification schemes via a mOdular approach (2019-2022)
    •ENEFIRST (2019-2022)"Efficiency First" (E1st) is a fundamental principle applied to policymaking, planning and investment in the energy sector, which is gaining visibility in European energy and climate policy. ENEFIRST will help making the E1st principle more concrete and operational, better understand its relevance for energy demand and supply and its broader impacts across sectors and markets, focussing on the buildings sector. Its main objectives are to define the principle of E1st in practical terms, assess how it has been applied internationally and how it applies to the EU context, to assess the value of applying E1st across different policy areas for buildings’ end-use energy efficiency and to quantify the impacts of increased building energy efficiency for the future energy system in the EU as well as to identify key policy areas for the application of E1st and develop policy proposals for its implementation in the EU

    Communication activities

    BPIE is involved in many projects and studies to ensure effective implementation of relevant EU Directives influencing national energy performance and efficiency strategies in the construction sector. Our projects focus mainly on key challenges linked to efficient policy implementation. In line with our mission and objectives, our work concentrates on the following areas:
    - New buildings
    - Renovating the EU building stock
    - Supporting policies and instruments
    - Buildings data
    In terms of communication activities, BPIE mainly disseminates news and information about its own publications, projects and events through its website (http://bpie.eu/) and social media channels, namely Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn pages. From time to time, BPIE organises events to present its studies, results and to discuss topics related to the field. These events target a variety of stakeholders, such as policy makers, industry, researchers, NGOs and consultants.
    BPIE has produced many reports since 2010, independently or teaming up with other key stakeholders. Our reports focus on topics such as renovation strategies, energy performance certificates, fuel poverty, nearly-Zero-Energy Buildings and others. They are all available freely on the reports section of the website bpie.eu.
    Since 2010, BPIE has also focused on the implementation of existing EU Directives in selected countries such as Romania, Poland, Bulgaria and Germany. Taking a country-specific approach allows solutions to be better tailored to the national conditions and therefore be easier implemented. BPIE focuses on catalysing change and drive market transformation in the buildings sector by providing technical advice and work with partners in respective Member States to achieve policy progress. Documenting and sharing success stories from these countries is also important.
