CONCLUSION

SAME GOAL FOR ALL!

To involve all stakeholders in building sector, encourage the initiation and active

participation,adopt a national policy with a focus on

increasing energy efficiencyand the use of RES in buildings.

- Good laws and regulationsare essential for EU funding

IMPACTFUL ACTIVITIES

• Decarbonization in buildings by 2050• MCPP initiated Charter of Co-

operation for the Decarbonisation ofBuildings by 2050 - transforming theexis.build.stock into a highly energyefficient one 45 partners in total

• The importance of communication underway in the preparation of theLong-term renovation strategy for theReconstruction of the National Fundof Buildings and the transition to thestandard of building nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB).
