About the Observatory

Evidence-based data for the building energy transition

The Entranze Observatory compiles, validates and publishes granular data on energy performance certificates, renovation rates and NZEB compliance across all 27 EU member states. Our methodology draws on national EPC registries, Eurostat housing statistics, and peer-reviewed technical literature — subject to independent quality review before publication.

Research is led by an international team of building physicists, energy policy analysts and urban planners with over 60 combined years of European renovation research experience. Datasets are updated quarterly and uncertainty ranges are documented in accompanying methodology notes for every published analysis.
