A Renovation Wave Strategy for Europe

On October 14th, 2020 the European Commission released its Renovation Wave Strategy. According to the communication document, “the objective is to at least double the annual energy renovation rate of residential and non-residential buildings by 2030 and to foster deep energy renovations. Mobilising forces at all levels towards these goals will result in 35 million building units renovated by 2030. The increased rate and depth of renovation will have to be maintained also post-2030 in order to reach EU-wide climate neutrality by 2050”.
