The European Union strives to make public and private buildings more energy efficient in order to save energy and reduce emissions. This was stated by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.

“In two days we will launch the renovation wave [of buildings – ed.]. We want to make public buildings and private houses more energy efficient and comfortable – all across Europe,” the statement reads.

She noted that public and private buildings are responsible for 40% of energy consumption in the EU. Regions and cities will be at the center of the EUR 1.8 trillion recovery plan approved in response to the pandemic, she said.
