What was RIEEB about
The building sector spends 85% of this energy on heating and hot water. Therefore, reduction of energy consumption and the use of energy from renewable sources in the buildings sector constitute important measures to reduce the European Union’s energy dependency and greenhouse gas emissions. It is necessary to determine more concrete actions to make use of the huge unrealised potential for energy savings in buildings and reduce the large differences between Member States’ results in this sector.
Within RIEEB, external experts in the partner regions reviewed the implementation of national regulations on energy efficiency of buildings in more than 30 buildings, including different building-categories. The climatic, architectural, technical and structural characteristics of each partner region was considered.
The project helped to significantly increase the knowledge and awareness of energy efficiency in buildings among stakeholders in the partner regions. The experience gained during the project was useful for practical implementation in their respective regions for target groups such as Architects, engineers, construction companies and builders. Furthermore a validity check was developed to enhance the efficient enforcement of regional regulations in building authorities. The plausibility-tool supports the national authorities when considering building applications for accuracy.
