On 5 April 2016 the JRC presented the interactive and collaborative online European Energy Efficiency Platform. This beta platform is conceived to fill the gap opened by scattered data and fragmented knowledge resulting from a rapidly growing energy efficiency market. It is expected to be both a one-stop shop for information retrieval and a meeting point for experts to exchange data and reduce redundant activities.

Financing
Three broad options for financing energy efficiency improvements can be distinguished.
ESCO financing refers to financing with internal funds of the ESCO and may involve own capital or equipment lease. ESCO rarely use equity for financing, as this options limits their capability of implementing projects on a sustainable basis;

The GreenBuilding Programme reached its 8th year of activity and has now achieved its original target of collecting data from over 1000 buildings. The Joint Research Centre (JRC) has therefore decided to close down the GreenBuilding Programme by 1st of October 2014.

Several EU Member States have implemented or are considering implementing energy efficiency obligation schemes (EEOSs). These schemes consist of energy saving obligations imposed on energy distributors and/or retail energy sales companies and are possibly coupled with a trading system.

This report aims at showing the present status of energy consumption in EU-28, in the four main energy consuming sectors : Residential, tertiary, transport and industry. During the last years, there have been efforts by the European Union to cut down on energy consumption and improve energy efficiency. From 2000-2012, there have been various initiatives that aim at reducing final energy consumption.

Between the building components windows are of high interest within the European policy activity as directives and regulations set out roles to manage, more or less directly, their environmental performance. The product group “Windows” is subjected to the Construction Products Regulation and it is indirectly addressed by the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. The Working Plan for energyrelated

Final energy consumption experienced in Europe an increase in absolute terms of 10% between 1990 and 2006 where the consumption peaked at 1190 Mtoe. Over this period, the share of the final energy consumption of residential and non-residential buildings increased from 35.4% to 37.7% . This made buildings the largest single end-use of energy in Europe.

Technology and Standards
Buildings
Renovation is an umbrella term which normally describes a variety of interventions in a building: from modernization, retrofit, restoration and rehabilitation to simple maintenance, repairs and routine upgrades. An energy renovation is often “behind the scenes” of many of these actions, with each action delivering different level of energy savings.

Economics and Financing
Buildings
With the right set of policy tools, it is generally accepted that governments can play a crucial role in promoting energy efficiency and leveraging more investments in the building sector, especially in the existing stock. Buildings are responsible for 40% of total energy consumption of the EU and their modernisation is considered to be pivotal in our shift towards a low carbon economy.
