Croatia and the European construction industry can permanently end this crisis
19 leading companies in the Croatian construction market, including all the members from the REC national partner HUPFAS and URSA, highlight in a co-signed op-ed in several media, the key role the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) plays for sustainable warm homes.
The renovation of F/G level public buildings to B/C will signify a decrease in final energy consumption by 90%.
Meanwhile, each billion invested to energy efficiency can create 29,000 jobs in Croatia.
The op-ed was published in 4 different media outlets:
REDay2022 - President Ursula von der Leyen Video Address (Croatian Subtitles)
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen addressed via video in her opening speech the audience of REDay2022.
In here remarks she emphasised how making our buildings energy efficient is indispensable in the fight against climate change and increasing the EU’s energy resilience and independence, and how the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive is our opportunity to do so.
2021 - Renovate 2 Recover: How Transformational are the National Recovery Plans for Buildings Renovation?
National Recovery and Resilience Plans (NRRPs) present a unique opportunity to accelerate the delivery of deep renovation across the EU. The analysis of the NRRPs in this Study demonstrates that significant renovation activity is planned and will be made possible through the successive disbursements of the Recovery Funding. But these renovations must be done properly, and the money must be spent well. This unprecedented additional injection of public funds must set the EU building stock firmly on the path to achieving its Renovation Wave goals to 2030 and meeting the 2050 climate targets.
For NRRPs to be transformational towards achieving these goals, two key aspects need to be strengthened:
- Ensure funding delivers a step change towards realising deep (or staged deep) renovations, going well beyond the 30% minimum energy saving recommendation set by the European Commission.
- Invest in the right enabling framework, including leverage of private finance, to create sustainable renovation markets that will grow beyond 2026.
