The EU Building Stock Observatory is launched November 30, together with the EU Clean Energy for All package of initiatives and legislation.

This comprehensive tool monitors policy implementation in the European Member States and presents country specific data with 250 indicators.

The Observatory provides a broad snapshot of the building stock characteristics in EU28 and includes existing data from EU projects, national statistics, EPC databases, cities’ sustainable energy action plans, industry data, and other sources, with factsheets on specific topics per country.

It aims at supporting the successful implementation of policies and programmes and better compliance and enforcement.

It maps energy poverty areas, provides useful data for decision makers in policy and in the private sector.

The project consortium was led by BPIE and included ECN, Ecofys, Enerdata and SEVEn, and many national and international data partners, and was funded by the European Commission.
