Efficient Buildings Europe is a member or partner of several initiatives promoting energy efficiency at large.
The Coalition for Energy Savings
Renovate Europe Campaign
Construction 2050 Alliance
The Coalition for Energy Savings strives to make energy efficiency and savings the first consideration of energy policies and the driving force towards a secure, sustainable and competitive European Union. Its membership unites businesses, professionals, local authorities, trade unions and civil society organisations in pursuit of this goal. The Coalition calls on the EU to commit itself to a 40% energy saving target by 2030, and to step up policies, measures and investments in order to stop energy waste and tap the considerable energy savings potentials. Adrian JOYCE, Secretary General of Efficient Buildings Europe, was Chairman of the Coalition for Energy Savings between June 2017 and December 2020.
Launched in 2011, as an initiative of Efficient Buildings Europe, Renovate Europe is a political communications campaign that calls on policymakers and stakeholder at all levels, to take immediate, bold actions to rapidly accelerate the deep energy renovation of buildings in the EU to a rate of 3% per year. The Renovate Europe partners include a wide representation of actors throughout the buildings sector and has the support of 18 national partners and 51 partners from industry and civil society. Renovate Europe is also supported by 34 Champions MEPs.
The renewed Construction 2050 Alliance was launched during the High Level Tripartite Strategic Forum for the Construction sector, an event organised by the European Commission on the 17th of June 2020. The Alliance comprises over 40 different stakeholders and it is a collaborative effort to build the sustainable Europe of tomorrow and to show the unique importance of the construction sector to the European institutions and civil society, especially in light of the challenges stemming from the COVID-19 crisis. Efficient Buildings Europe is part of the Construction 2050 Alliance.
