Belgian Renovation Week: Innovation in Building Renovations

In pursuing a greener and more liveable future, the significance of renovation has emerged as a cornerstone of change. Buildings are responsible for approximately 40% of EU energy consumption and 36% of the energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Buildings are therefore the single largest energy consumer in Europe. Heating, cooling and domestic hot water account for 80% of the energy that we, citizens, consume. As carbon emissions keep affecting our planet’s health, and the drive for comfortable, energy-efficient homes becomes stronger, the need for creative and innovative solutions is more urgent than ever.

In this regard, the event holds a special focus on European policymakers, recognizing their pivotal role in shaping regulations and standards that can propel the renovation movement.
