The Buildings Performance Institute Europe (BPIE), has launched an open data portal gathering technical data on buildings performance in Europe. The new portal presents facts and figures collected in the framework of the BPIE’s “Europe’s Buildings under the Microscope” study released in 2011. By providing in depth data about energy efficiency in European buildings, the new platform aims to assist policy-makers at EU level Member State level, technical experts, buildings professionals, researchers, academics, and consultants. It provides them with the possibility to access country profiles, search specific parameters, generate overviews and graphs as well as screen the underlying data. The tool allows for cross-country comparisons and cost free downloads. Suggestions for data updates and corrections will be possible through online forms. The data will be enriched over time with additional topics and information generated through data exchange projects and research partnerships. BPIE is inviting any other organisations interested in joining their effort to increase data transparency about the energy performance of the European building stock.

This guide has been developed by the Department of Energy and Climate Change and the Department for Communities and Local Government. It is intended to act as a resource for local authority personnel who are involved in climate change mitigation in the built environment to support the planning and delivery of projects. Local authorities are uniquely placed to assess the needs of their local areas and residents and to act as catalysts for change to improve the energy efficiency of, and reduce carbon emissions from buildings. These resources can support that role. This collection of resources will also support local authorities as they prepare reports required by new guidance under the Home Energy Conservation Act 1995 on measures they propose to take to significantly improve the energy efficiency of residential accommodation in their areas.

This document is a report to Rockwool, who funded this study into the social effects of energy efficiency measures in large multi-dwelling occupancies, using the Edward Woods Estate in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham as a case study. Rockwool is the insulation provider to the £16.13 million low carbon refurbishment of the estate, working alongside ECD Architects, and The Breyer Group (the main contractor). The study was carried out by the LSE Housing and communities is a research and consultancy group within the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion (CASE) at the London School of Economics and Political Science led by Professor Anne Power.
