Changing building design in Slovakia and the Czech Republic in order to decrease the building sector’s CO2 emissions.
Background
Slovakia and the Czech Republic ambitiously follow the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. Yet the progress of the sustainable construction industry is still lagging behind these ambitions. Architects perceive sustainability measures as a burden, investors do not perceive incentives to be sufficient, and the involvement of several ministries impedes efficient communication and implementation.

Project
The project is tailored to involve and motivate all actors to contribute to a sustainable construction industry in the target countries. Its activities are designed to reveal barriers in implementing sustainable measures, to specify ways to overcome them, and to motivate stakeholders. More specifically, implementing partners organise four round table meetings and six workshops with experts and stakeholders, two study tours on best practice examples of sustainable buildings and housing stocks, and two international conferences on innovative design and technical solutions. An online platform supports the creation of a productive environment for all actors and access of project output.
