CECODHAS HOUSING EUROPE and Energy efficiency
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. This means that there is an ever increasing need for renovation and construction of energy efficient, environmentally sustainable housing.
CECODHAS HOUSING EUROPE members provide housing for vulnerable groups who are hit hardest by rising fuel bills, which makes energy efficiency an urgent requirement. CECODHAS HOUSING EUROPE members provide more than 21 million homes across Europe, meaning that they have a potential to make a real difference in the ongoing campaign to make Europe’s homes more energy efficient.
Social housing providers have proved to be innovators in the use of energy efficient technology and renewable energy sources
