HAPPENING

While progress is currently made towards sustainable buildings and constructions, improvements need to keep pace with the rising demand for energy services. Buildings in Europe currently account for 40 % of energy demand and 36 % of energy-related CO2 emissions. This makes the decarbonisation of Europe’s building stock vital in order to ensure the EU achieves its climate protection targets. With this in mind, the EU-funded HAPPENING project is developing a solution based on decentralised heat pumps that are easy to install, low-intrusive for the building's occupants and easily adaptable to a large number of different building situations. The project will roll out new financial and business models to ensure cost competitiveness.
