Achieving Energy Independence: the contribution of social, cooperative and public housing to the EU joint action plan RepowerEU

17 May 2022 | 10:00-12:15 CET

On May, 18th, the European Commission will present the details of the RepowerEU action plan to make Europe independent from Russian fossil fuels well before 2030, starting with gas, in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This plan will also outline a series of measures to respond to rising energy prices in Europe and replenish gas stocks for next winter. Questions now arise about the impact of the solutions proposed in the RepowerEU action plan on the social, cooperative, and public housing sector that interlinks with the already existing initiatives under the European Green Deal and the potential contribution of housing providers to the success of the Action Plan.

Growing the Energy Supporters & Mentors movement that alleviates energy poverty

EU training webinar from A to Z funded by the Horizon project, POWERPOOR

What does energy poverty mean and how can we recognise it when we see it? How can we diagnose an energy inefficient home or someone’s struggles with paying for a warm or cool home without making them feel ashamed of it? How can we tackle the problem effectively, leveraging innovative financing schemes and building energy communities?

Funding available for housing under the LIFE Clean Energy Transition programme

10th November 2021 | 14:00-15:00 CET | A special info session for Housing Europe members

The LIFE programme of the European Commission that makes possible the financing of projects in the field of the environment, biodiversity and climate has made available EUR 95 million for projects that boost the clean energy transition. This can be done by accelerating the market for it with the roll-out of technology, digitalisation, new services and business models and enhancing related professional skills; by building up on the policy framework at local, regional and national level or by involving and empowering citizens to be part of the so-called Clean Energy Transition.

Buildings at the heart of the EU’s new energy system

Our EU-funded project syn.ikia showing the way at #EUSEW21

This policy session will shed light on the potential that buildings offer for a successful transformation of the energy system by 2030 by empowering citizens at all levels and enabling the scale-up of holistic energy renovations. The speakers will present inspiring initiatives and best practices that are already in place at neighbourhood (Syn.ikia’s Sustainable Plus Energy Neighbourhoods), city (the MAtchUP project in València) and community level (REScoop’s citizen-led renovation). The presentations will highlight ways to empower residents to play a role in the energy transition while responding to their needs, especially lower-income households. These solutions place buildings in a broader and more interlinked context by reducing their energy use, acting as storage and ensuring a balanced grid, integrating renewables, using smart energy management systems as well as offering people a comfortable environment where to live.

A Citizen-led Renovation Wave

16:00 - 17:30 CET | Housing Europe joints forces with fellow organisations at #EUSEW2021

Accelerating home renovations in Europe, and the targets laid out by the European Green Deal, will not succeed without adequately involving and supporting the 195 million households that live in those homes. This means empowering citizens to take action, provide adequate support, and strive for renovations that result in comfortable, healthy, safe, and affordable homes. This session showcases how citizens across Europe – both tenants and homeowners – are already participating in renovation projects and highlights what can be done at the European and Member State level to support this growing citizen-led renovation movement. This will be followed by a discussion with the speakers and the audience on how to ensure that the Renovation Wave delivers healthy, safe, affordable, and energy efficient homes for all. The session brings together contributions from social, public, and cooperative housing providers, regional actors, consumer and tenants perspectives, and energy communities.

Housing Solutions Platform Debate on the Collective Housing Transformation

11 October, 14:00 – 16:00 CEST

Systematised emergency accommodation is a reactive, disorganised and segmented response to homelessness. As the main response to homelessness, generalised and institutionalised, it is an ineffective, inefficient and unsafe solution. Indeed, solving homelessness requires long-term affordable housing, sometimes integrated with support services. Where is long-term affordable housing going to come from? How can it be made available quickly and at-scale whilst ensuring adequacy?

Big data approaches for building policy and and management

1st MATRYCS Stakeholder Workshop | 22nd June 2021 | 9:30-11:00 CET

Building sector accounts a significant percentage of total global energy-related CO2 emissions. Energy is consumed at different buildings’ lifecycle and can be analysed from different perspectives or scales. That means that competitive solutions should be found in the building sector to revolutionise energy efficiency and management in buildings.
