CEPI - European Association of Real Estate Professions

The European Union is currently facing different challenges, from the social crisis and the alarming rise of energy poverty to the current energy security crisis to climate change. In this scenario, it is important that the so-called Renovation Wave for Europe considers all these aspects to be able to fulfil its full potential in both terms of energy efficiency and a fairer society. The importance of boosting the use of clean and renewable energies was also underlined. This and more have been discussed during this interesting hybrid session, in which the IEECP also presented the main key findings of their recently published study on the Renovation Wave.
