• Factsheet – How to decarbonise heating and cooling by 2030

  How to decarbonise heating and cooling by 2030: The path to renewable, healthy, and efficient buildings in the EU. Discover the many heating and cooling solutions that are already available - and the EU policy toolbox that can help get them into every building.

• ECOS joins new Cool Heating Coalition

  Decarbonising how we heat and cool our homes is a central part of the transition to a low-carbon built environment. Responsible for a staggering 80% of the energy consumed by EU households, less than one-quarter of that comes from renewables. Most heating and cooling is still powered by fossil fuels – but that must change. ECOS has joined forces with a new partner to help make it happen: the Cool Heating Coalition.

• Call to prioritise heating and cooling decarbonisation in the EU’s post-2030 framework

  A joint call to action urging the European Commission and EU Member States to prioritise heating and cooling decarbonisation in the upcoming legislative mandate.

• Fossil or Fair: Will EU’s Heating Policy Delay or Accelerate Sustainable Energy Justice?

  Phasing out archaic fossil heating systems in favour of cleaner options is a must in Europe’s quest to cut energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. But only one year on from REPowerEU, European lawmakers risk backpedalling on their commitments to a fossil-free future in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and ecodesign rules for space and water heaters.

• Joint statement – Merging energy labels across a set of cooling and heating products will increase energy savings

  Merging the energy label of all heating and cooling appliances with the same main local functionality will contribute significantly to achieving the decarbonization of heating and cooling in EU buildings, ECOS, EHPA, EPEE, and EEB say in a joint statement.
