European Projects
We lead and take part in several European projects to translate our policy objectives into action.
We are working on the new frontiers in our sector, envisioning the future-proofed neighbourhoods which can cater for elderly, youth, integration of services, different lifestyles e.g. working from home, sharing economy, circular economy and of course with the decentralised Zero energy neighbourhoods ZEN with an adapted energy system fitted to these changes.

HEART
Tackling technical, economic and social aspects of energy retrofit. At the center of the project are two buildings managed by social housing providers. One is managed by Est Metropole Habitat with activities nearby Lyon in France and the other one is from ACER and situated around Regio Emilia in Italy. →
HOUSEFUL
The main goal of the HOUSEFUL project is to develop and demonstrate innovative integrated circular services focused on the optimal management and use of water, waste, energy and material resources during all stages of the life cycle of residential buildings (new and existing). These services will be deployed and tested in four residential buildings in Austria and Spain from different building periods. →
OPENGELA
The project aims to bring to life a novel concept of neighbourhood offices in Otxarkoaga (Bilbao) and Txonta (Eibar) which will operate as one-stop-shops, helping the community of neighbours with any procedure related to the renovation of their buildings. →
POWERPOOR
POWERPOOR has embarked on a real mission - to develop support programmes and schemes for energy-poor citizens in 8 EU countries and encourage the use of alternative financing schemes, such as establishing energy communities, energy cooperatives and crowdfunding. The project's goal is also to ensure that governments and authorities across Europe take energy poverty into consideration when drafting energy and climate action plans. →
Drive 0
Drive 0 has a unique concept, offering efficient renovation solutions concerning energy, materials and costs, within innovative consumer-centred circular renovation processes. By implementing this concept, DRIVE 0 encourages a transition from a linear economy to a circular economy. →
PuSH
Public Space in European Social Housing |
This HERA network supported project explores the hypothesis that public spaces on social housing estates throughout Europe are a prime locus of cultural encounter and therefore constitute a unique potential resource for European integration. →
Triple A-Reno
To make nZE (nearly Zero Energy) renovations attractive for consumers TripleA-reno wants to come up with clear information and communication on the real energy usage, indoor quality and personal health by developing an open and end-user-centered gamified (application of game-design elements and game principles) platform for decision support, quality validation / proven quality and community building. →
MATRYCS
MATRYCS or Modular Big Data Applications for Holistic Energy Services in Buildings is a project that brings together 18 partners from 10 European countries aiming to provide a holistic open solution for decision-making and data analytics solution for energy-efficient buildings. Housing Europe will work on capitalising on the project results and on the demonstrator outcomes and best practices identified so as to design European, national or regional policies. →
NRG2Peers
The main aim of NRG2peers is to support the uptake of a next generation of European peer-to-peer Energy Communities. NRG2peers sets up a gamified platform in three levels, supporting residential energy communities to increase energy efficiency and to integrate a higher share of renewable energy. →
Syn.ikia
Syn.ikia aims at achieving sustainable plus energy neighbourhoods. This will be achieved while ensuring high-quality indoor environment and well-being. The main strategy for achieving these goals is to deliver a blueprint for sustainable plus energy buildings and neighbourhoods, leading the way to plus energy districts and cities. →
