Europe leads the global clean energy transition : Commission welcomes ambitious agreement on further renewable energy development in the EU - europa.eu - 14/06/2018
"An ambitious political agreement on increasing renewable energy use in Europe was reached today between negotiators from the Commission, the European Parliament and the Council. Today’s deal means that two out of the 8 legislative proposals in the Clean Energy for All Europeans package (adopted by the European Commission on 30 November 2016) have been already agreed by the co-legislators. On 14 May, the first element of the package, the Energy Performance in Buildings Directive, was adopted. Thus, progress and momentum towards completing the Energy Union is well under way and the work started by the Juncker Commission, under the priority “a resilient Energy Union and a forward-looking climate change policy" is delivering its promises."
European banks launch green mortgage pilot scheme - climateactionprogramme.org - 14/06/2018
A group of 37 major European banks are joining forces to launch a new energy efficiency scheme. The trial aims to improve the energy performance of households and buildings by incentivising buyers with special rates on their mortgage.
EeB PPP Project Review 2018 - ectp.org - 18/06/2018, 89 p.
Energy Efficient Buildings (EeB) Public Private Partnership (PPP) is a joint initiative of the European Commission (EC) and the construction industry, represented by the Energy Efficient Buildings (E2B) Committee of the European Construction, built
environment and energy efficient building Technology Platform (ECTP). The 7th edition of EeB PPP Project Review has been published. Every year, this publication presents the progress of a portfolio of European research projects aiming at developing new technologies for energy efficient buildings. The 2018 edition presents 110 projects co-funded within the EeB PPP under the 7th Framework Programme (FP7) from 2010 to 2013 and 58 projects co-funded under Horizon 2020 programme between 2014 and 2017. Distributed into 7 technology clusters defined according to the construction related research and innovation value chain from the EeB PPP Roadmap (Design, Technology Building Blocks, Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology, Construction process, Energy performance monitoring & management, ICT and BIM), the 168 research projects featured in this brochure illustrate the diverse innovation approaches and the importance of embracing all aspects of the building and construction sector.
Airbnb mise sur l’Europe pour défaire les législations nationales - Par Isabelle Rey-Lefebvre, lemonde.fr - 15/06/2018

Directive (UE) 2018/844 du Parlement européen et du Conseil du 30 mai 2018 modifiant la directive 2010/31/UE sur la performance énergétique des bâtiments et la directive 2012/27/UE relative à l’efficacité énergétique (Texte présentant de l’intérêt pour l’EEE) - ur-lex.europa.eu
Pologne. A Proposal for Defining nearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB) Requirements For Renovation Of Single-Family Houses In Poland - bpie.eu -14/06/2018, 7 p.
It is estimated that more than 70% of the detached single-family houses in Poland (3.6 million) have no, or inadequate, thermal insulation. Heating technology is outdated and the most frequently used fuel is coal, burned in old coal-fired boilers, largely contributing to air pollution. Only 1% of all houses in Poland can be considered as energy efficient and were mainly built in the last few years. The main objective of the briefing is to present possible nZEB requirements for renovation of single family houses in Poland. In the briefing, the need to accelerate the cost-effective renovation of existing buildings in Poland is highlighted as the easiest and fastest way of gaining energy savings.
Pologne. Financing the Renovation of Buildings in Poland- bpie.eu - 14/06/2018, 39 p.
Poland is the biggest beneficiary of EU funds under the 2014-2020 Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), receiving up to around €80 billion from the Cohesion Policy budget. Only 2.8% of this funding is dedicated to energy efficiency in buildings. At the same time, low energy performance of existing buildings (especially single-family houses) and use of old coal fired boilers causes significant air pollution. Poland has some of the worst air quality in Europe, with 33 of the continent’s 50 most polluted cities, according to a World Health Organization (WHO) report.
Serbie.Renovating Belgrade - A framework for exploring the potential to renovate the City of Belgrade - Buildings Performance Institute Europe, European not-for-profit think-tank, bpie.eu - 13/06/2018
The UN Environment Programme (UN Environment) is supporting the Belgrade public authorities to improve energy efficiency of buildings and associated energy systems, as part of its role in the Building Efficiency Accelerator (BEA) and District Energy in Cities (DES) Initiative under the Sustainable Energy for all (SE4ALL) Initiative. To support this undertaking, this report by BPIE outlines the renovation potential and approaches to increasing renovation activities in Belgrade. Gas dependency is a concern for Serbia, with 71% of gas used imported. Buildings are one of the biggest consumers of energy, particularly for heating and cooling, and district heating is, to a large extent, supplied by gas. Therefore, renovation of buildings to reduce the demand for gas is crucial for energy security. There are also employment benefits to be gained from an accelerated renovation programme, which would provide a welcome boost to the Serbian economy. Using the available data, BPIE estimates the potential for renovation in Belgrade under three different scenarios, ranging from low/minor renovation to deep renovation, and considers a scenario focusing on renovating buildings connected to district heating system. In the conclusions of the report, BPIE proposes five recommendations : Renovate public buildings as a first step - Tackle buildings supplied by district heating - Build capacity to tap into available existing funding streams - Ensure quality and build up skills in the supply chain - Raise awareness of the benefits of energy efficiency.

More than half of construction workers in London from EU - constructionenquirer.com - 20/06/2018
"More than half of the workforce on London’s construction sites is from the EU. The capital’s biggest house builder Berkeley flagged up the figure in its results today. Figures reported on the ground by the house builder are higher than government statistics. Yesterday the ONS published its findings that suggested that foreign workers represent just over a third of the capital’s construction workforce, based on 2016 data."
