Sustainable housing
The Union and its Member States are facing serious challenges, resulting from a combination of environmental and energy issues. To respect the Kyoto protocol's targets of GHG emissions reduction as well as European own energy targets, with the residential sector currently accounting for around 27% of energy consumption in the EU, the potential reduction in CO2 emissions that energy efficient housing would provide cannot be underestimated.
