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.
A centre of expertise on all aspects of energy efficiency, renewable energy and energy performance of European buildings, the Institute focuses on policy analysis and advice and shares knowledge through studies, policy briefs, presentations and events. BPIE is promoting best practice approaches to improve the energy performance of buildings.
BPIE's goal is to make a sustainable and low carbon built environment a reality in Europe. The cost-effective potential to reduce energy consumption and associated CO2 emissions has been estimated in many studies to be between 70 and 90% by 2050, using known technologies. The challenge lies in creating and implementing a policy and investment framework that delivers the potential, as well as the many other societal benefits that are linked to well-performing buildings.
BPIE supports a multifaceted approach to achieve efficiency improvements and to integrate renewable energy in buildings, and promotes regulatory measures and financial incentives that lead to the construction of net-zero or plus-energy buildings and the renovation of existing buildings to comparable levels. The focus of work is on ensuring the effective implementation of the 2010 EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the 2012 Energy Efficiency Directive (EED); as well as the financing and delivery of energy efficiency retrofits to existing buildings.
BPIE also supports evidence-based policy making by providing data and knowledge through its Data Hub and with several reports, as well as partnering in several European projects.Main EU files targeted
BPIE has 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 European Union.
ZEBRA2020 – Putting a spotlight on the soar of low-energy buildings in Europe (2014-2016)
The EU-funded project ZEBRA2020 will monitor the market uptake of low-energy buildings across Europe and thereby generate data and evidence for policy evaluation and optimisation. This Intelligent Energy Europe (IEE) project gathers eight partners from academia, research and private consultancy, covering 17 European Member States. The project, which will last 30 months, will play an active role in shaping EU policy by providing well-structured market information.
EPISCOPE - Energy Performance Indicator Tracking Schemes for the Continuous Optimisation of Refurbishment Processes in EU Housing Stocks (2013-2016)
Data availability on the energy performance and the state of refurbishment of the national building stocks is rather limited, affecting the reliability of building stock models and scenario calculations, largely based on assumptions. EPISCOPE project therefore aims at making the energy refurbishment processes in the European housing sector more transparent and effective. Typology schemes as well as national interpretations of new buildings and nZEBs will be included.
EASEE - Envelope approach to improve sustainability and energy efficiency in existing multi-storey multi-owner residential buildings (2012-2017)
This FP7 project aims at developing a new holistic approach to energy efficient envelope retrofitting of multi-storey and multi-owner buildings built before 1975. The partners will develop a set of affordable solutions that SMEs can apply to reduce energy demand while minimising the impact on occupants during retrofitting.
COHERENO - Collaboration for housing nearly zero-energy renovation (2013-2016)
This IEE project aims at strengthening collaboration of enterprises in innovative business schemes for realizing nearly Zero-Energy Building renovations in single family owner occupied houses. It focuses on eliminating barriers, providing enterprises with guidance on how to collaborate and develop services for the different market segments.
ENTRANZE - Policies to ENforce the TRAnsition to Nearly Zero Energy buildings in the EU-27 (2012-2014)
This IEE project aimed at actively supporting policy making by providing data, analysis and guidelines to achieve a fast and strong penetration of nZEB and RES-H/C within the existing building stocks. It connected building experts from EU research and academia to national decision makers and key stakeholders with a view to build ambitious but reality-proof policies and roadmaps.
CommONEnergy - Converting EU shopping malls into energy efficiency lighthouses (2013-2017)
The EU-funded CommONEnergy project, launched in 2013, will turn ‘energivore’ shopping centres into temples of energy conservation. The FP7 project gathers 23 partners representing various industry stakeholders and research and academia from ten European member states. During the next four years, researchers and industry partners will be teaming-up to look for solutions and strategies to transform shopping malls into energy efficient architectures and systems. The solutions will be submitted to a real-life test, on three specific demonstration cases in Italy, Norway and Spain.
BUILD UP, The European Portal For Energy Efficiency In Buildings
The BUILD UP interactive web portal shares and promotes existing knowledge, guidelines, tools and best practices for energy-saving measures in buildings across Europe. At the same time, it informs and updates the market about the legislative framework in terms of goals, practical implications and future revisions. More on the projectAddress
