Much of the housing stock is currently not equipped to maintain optimal indoor temperatures, and renovation is urgently needed to solve this. Cooling costs as well as heating costs can have an equally severe impact, especially for vulnerable communities. Do you want to know more about this? In our latest blog for #Smarter4EU by Iva Merheim-Eyre we explore how cooling costs are driving energy poverty nowadays and why building renovations are key to sustainable solutions.🌍 🖇 Check out the full blog here: https://lnkd.in/e7Z3U6u5 #SMARTER4EU #Coolingcost #LIFEproject #LIFEprogramme #Sustainablebuildings #EnergyEfficiency #SustainableFinanceEU

Our #ComActivate Project partner, Caroline Duvier, recently presented at #EPAHConf2024 on the critical concepts of building poverty and energy sufficiency. ☀️ When addressing energy sufficiency in energy-poor communities, it's essential to ensure that their basic energy needs are met before implementing energy-saving measures. This approach helps us build a fairer and more inclusive path toward sustainability. A big thank you to ECODES (Fundación Ecología y Desarrollo) for leading this important session on the role of the #SocialClimateFund in easing the impact on vulnerable households as the EU ETS 2 expands to include building and transport emissions. 🏠🚘 #EnergyPoverty #EnergySufficiency #OneStopShops #SocialJustice BPIE - Buildings Performance Institute Europe ComActivate Project
