Abstract
The European building stock urgently needs renovation to meet climate targets and improve energy efficiency. With buildings responsible for 40% of EU energy consumption and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions, accelerating renovation rates from the current 1.2% to at least 3% annually is crucial. However, traditional renovation approaches face significant barriers, including high costs, extended implementation timelines, and limited stakeholder acceptance. This article explores how industrialisation and digital knowledge sharing can revolutionise building renovation, drawing insights from the EU-funded INFINITE project led by Eurac Research.
