Central and Eastern Europe needs to upgrade its building stock to plug leaks and reduce energy consumption. Some of the challenges the region faces are similar to those in other countries, some are more specific.


Rules and regulations are slowly but surely being adopted in this part of the world, funding streams are coming online and renovation support schemes are being designed.


Plenty of challenges like access to skilled labour still need to be addressed but all of the seeds have now been planted, hopefully a bumper harvest of higher renovation rates can be collected.


Adrian Joyce, secretary-general of Efficient Buildings Europe, joins the show to discuss how policies have evolved over the last two years and whether he is indeed optimistic about the sector’s progress.


This episode was recorded live at the biannual C4E Forum in the Croatian town of Cavtat. To listen to the previous episode recorded in 2023 during the last edition, click here.
