Evidence-based analysis for the building energy transition

The Entranze Observatory is an independent editorial resource on building energy renovation in the European Union. It explains the recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, energy performance certificates and the technologies and policies behind lower-carbon buildings.

Articles draw on primary sources — EU legislation, Commission publications, Eurostat statistics and peer-reviewed literature — and cite them inline so that readers can check each figure at its origin.
