BPIE joins forces with Construction21

The Buildings Performance Institute Europe (BPIE) and Construction21 have agreed to intensify their collaboration to inform all interested experts in European countries about latest trends, policy developments and innovations with respect to the energy performance of buildings.

The partners now share data and use their communication channels to disseminate the information to the greatest number of professionals across Europe. Exemplary buildings, referenced on Construction21 (European and local platforms) are a focus point of the collaboration.  BPIE studies will regularly generate articles which are going to be  translated and published on Construction21, on the European platform in English as well as on the different national platforms in local language, to reach a higher number of European professionals.

Oliver Rapf, the Executive Director of the Buildings Performance Institute Europe (BPIE):

"Buildings are part of the fabric of society and thus an integral part of our lives. Buildings can also be an infinite source of innovation with the potential of considerable lowering greenhouse gas emissions reaching EU wide targets.

Both BPIE and Construction 21 recognize the potential of a sustainable built environment. This is a catalyst for our partnership. BPIE analysis is relevant for the Construction 21 community all across Europe. We have a forthcoming study about Energy Performance Certificates that provides a comprehensive review of EPCs for residential and non-residential buildings across Europe. The BPIE study identifies good practices in making EPC data reliable, accessible and re-usable."

The Buildings Performance Institute Europe (BPIE) is a not-for-profit think tank with a focus on independent analysis and knowledge dissemination, supporting evidence-based policy making in the field of energy performance in buildings. A center of expertise on all aspects of energy efficiency, renewable energy and energy performance of European buildings, the Institute focuses on policy analysis and advice and shares knowledge through studies, policy briefs, presentations and events. BPIE is promoting best practice approaches to improve the energy performance of buildings, thanks to publications and an open portal, the Data Hub. www.bpie.eu and www.buildingsdata.eu
