Abstract
AbstractIndicators to evaluate the progress and effectiveness of building renovation policies prove essential for evidence-based decision-making, accountability, and achieving long-term goals towards the decarbonization of the building sector, while also promoting public awareness and engagement. This chapter studies the efforts over time in European legislation relating to building decarbonization and the evolution of requirements for monitoring the effectiveness of building renovation policies and decarbonization progress. The results show that the use of indicators for monitoring building renovation policies is a newly legislated activity in Europe that commenced in 2019 and is expected to become more demanding with the approval of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive revision. This will require significant efforts from European Union Member States to monitor and evaluate their national building renovation policies. Additionally, this underscores the need for new research directions, such as data source evaluation, open big data technologies, and advanced data collection methods, among others.
