The EU Energy Projects Podcast: Renovating buildings for energy efficiency with outPHit

outPHit is an EU-funded project that is driving future-proof energy renovations across Europe.

Currently, 75% of European buildings are inefficient, contributing to 40% of EU energy use and 36% of CO2 emissions.

The outPHit project is making deep retrofits faster, cheaper and more reliable by pairing streamlined renovation approaches like Energiesprong with Passive House principles for ambitious energy performance on the basis of the EnerPHit standard. The ultimate goal of the project is to make buildings climate proof.

The project is renovating buildings through 25 case studies to show real results and provide energy efficient solutions, while facilitating the development of high performance renovation systems, tools for decision making and quality assurance safeguards.

The project was shortlisted for the Innovation Award at the EU Sustainable Energy Week this year.

During the event, EU Energy Projects Podcast host Areti Ntaradimou spoke to Sarah Mekjian, from project partner Climate Alliance, to find out more.
