EC proposes strategy to unleash the potential of low energy buildings and boost the construction sector

July 31, 2012. Low energy buildings with high CO2 and energy cost saving potential still have a limited market uptake, despite their economic and environmental advantages. Construction comprises more than 10% of total employment in the EU. Therefore, the European Commission tabled today a strategy to promote the construction sector as a driving force in the creation of jobs and for sustained growth for the economy in general.

  • providing standard design codes of practice to construction companies;
  • fostering the global position of European construction enterprises to stimulate good performance and sustainable construction standards in third countries.
