Member States have committed to making the EU climate neutral by 2050. Sustainable building renovations play a key role in this, contributing to achieving climate and energy targets. The current level of building renovations is 1% and should double by 2030. At the same time, a large part of the building stock is located in earthquake-vulnerable areas, which represent 50% of the EU territory. These regions face the dual challenge of a lack of energy efficiency and seismic vulnerability, which would have severe social, economic and environmental consequences in the event of an earthquake. Therefore, it is crucial to carry out comprehensive building renovations that improve energy efficiency, strengthen earthquake resilience while reducing environmental impact.

The project contributes to the implementation of comprehensive renovations of the building stock, which include energy efficiency, seismic safety and reduction of environmental impacts by addressing the generation of CO2 emissions in the life cycle of buildings. The key objective of the project is to achieve climate neutrality of the building stock in the EU by 2050 through renovations. The project will develop building cards and guidelines for the design of national renovation plans, which will enable the transposition of EU legislation and the promotion of sustainable practices in the project partner countries: Austria, Belgium, Greece, Italy and Slovenia.
