A bright future for insulation
Europe is a world leader and benchmark in energy efficiency, thanks to a high awareness of environmental protection as well as energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness in buildings.
While the future might be challenging, it is also full of opportunities. As specified in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) recast, as of beginning December 2020 all new buildings must be nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEBs). And this superior level of energy performance in a building can only be achieved through substantial use of thermal insulation.
Building renovation – a “must” with incredible potential
The incredible potential of building renovation is key to meeting the European plan of reducing CO2 emissions by 80% to 95% by 2050. URSA’s insulation products offer high-performance solutions, making the renovation of existing buildings to a nearly zero-energy standard possible.
Attaining European targets before 2050 will only be possible if Europe’s existing building stock is intensively renovated over the next few decades. New buildings account for only roughly 1% of total housing stock in Europe annually. Thus, increasing the building renovation rate to 2.5% or 3% per year should be Europe’s goal.
