New Database Energy Performance Buildings 

The European Commission has launched a new database on the EU's building stock to monitor the energy performance of buildings across Europe. The database – called the EU Building Stock Observatory – provides information on buildings' characteristics including their construction period, energy use, onsite renewable energy and renovation rates.

The Observatory tracks energy performance levels in buildings in individual EU countries and the EU as a whole; different energy certification schemes and how they are implemented; and energy poverty levels across the EU.

The buildings sector accounts for 40% of Europe's energy consumption, and some two-thirds of European buildings were built before energy performance standards even existed.

EU Building Stock Observatory is a potential tool that together with EffiBUILDING can provide a clear overview of the current trends in the energy efficiency of buildings.
