National partner
Since 2013 the association Buildings for the Future (B4F) has actively shaped public policies to promote a high quality of construction and renovation of buildings in terms of energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality and sustainability. Through its member associations, B4F represents more than 150 companies with total annual sales of more than €1.7 billion and nearly 9,000 full-time employees.
The national recovery plan
Renovate2Recover country profile (2021)
In 2021 we looked at how each national recovery plan funded building renovation. The Renovate2Recover study found significant renovation activity planned, and called for two things: funding that delivers deep (or staged deep) renovations, going well beyond the 30% minimum energy saving recommended by the European Commission, and an enabling framework, including private finance, so that renovation markets keep growing after the recovery funding ends in 2026.
The Slovak profile comes from the study commissioned by the Renovate Europe Campaign and carried out by E3G, with input from Buildings for the Future.
