Buildings Performance Institute Europe

BPIE is a not-for-profit think tank with a focus on independent analysis and knowledge dissemination, supporting evidence-based policy making in the field of energy performance in buildings.
BPIE’s goal is to make a sustainable and low carbon built environment a reality in Europe. The cost-effective potential to reduce energy consumption and associated CO2 emissions has been estimated in many studies to be between 70 and 90% by 2050, using known technologies.

BPIE’s mission is focusing on:

  • Supporting the development of ambitious – yet pragmatic – buildings-related policies and programmes at EU and Member State levels;
  • Driving timely and efficient implementation by teaming-up with relevant stakeholders;
  • Providing fact-based analysis and knowledge, and sharing best practice globally through networks in Europe and globally.

Within the framework of INZEB’s synergies with key EU Institutions, INZEB undertakes the translation of BPIE’s research work and disseminates it to the Greek market.
