What’s the cost of not renovating?
EU #BuildingsDirective negotiation is happening now. Final #FF55 file can kickstart renovations in the worst buildings – for climate & society
But all I hear are (scare) stories on the cost of renov.
What if it costs more not to?

.@KadriSimson @MarosSefcovic we need your strong leadership in trilogues to deliver efficient & healthy buildings
🏠Renovate worst buildings 1st!
⚡️#EnergyTransition needs #betterbuildings, see our @FinancialTimes letter 👇

The data is now official: 3 years’ worth of rain fell within two days. Scientists on Greek TV discussing the possibility of the formation of new, permanent lakes in the area. It is a new planet. #ClimateAction #ClimateCrisis #climatecatastrophe

Making our energy infrastructure ready for net zero is critical for the energy transition.
❓But what does this mean?
❓How do we get there?
❓What are gaps and solutions?

👏👏👏 @Grupa_PGE wants to install large heat storage facility and 4 large heat pumps to supply heat to Gdańsk district heating network.

- #PGEEnergiaCiepła jest największym producentem ciepła systemowego w Polsce. Naszym priorytetem jest realizowanie inwestycji, które doprowadzą do całkowitej dekarbonizacji wytwarzania ciepła systemowego. I to się już dzieje w wielu polskich miastach, gdzie mamy swoje elektrociepłownie. W Gdańsku postawiliśmy na innowacyjność. Półtora roku temu oddaliśmy tutaj do eksploatacji kotłownię z pierwszymi w Polsce kotłami elektrodowymi zasilanymi energią elektryczną. To pierwsze takie rozwiązanie w Polsce. Przed nami drugi etap transformacji EC Gdańsk: budowa wielkoskalowych pomp ciepła i akumulatora ciepła, który zoptymalizuje pracę odnawialnych źródeł - mówi Prezes #PGE Wojciech Dąbrowski.

Decompression: Policy and regulatory options to manage the gas grid in a decarbonising UK
TLDR: As we decarbonise heating, the gas networks represent a significant liability for UK plc, and the sooner we act the better. 🧵

Energy bill payers seldom feel in the driving seat. Empowering households with tech and services to easily access the cheapest, greenest power is key to achieving efficient, user-centric decarbonisation and energy security. New blog and video by @CANEurope #demandsideflexibility
What does the energy system of tomorrow look like🤔
Electrified ⚡️
Digital💻
Flexible🧘
and of course 100% renewable with people at its heart♥️
See how with demand-side flexibility, our homes can be the beacons of Europe's energy transition👇

Freedom energy on the rise: first time in history, wind & solar have surpassed fossil fuels for a month in the EU!🍃🔆
This ensures security of supply, anchoring the present in a sustainable future and contributing to solving our two crisis!

Europe struggles to heat homes without cooking the planet
The technologies to go green are there, but overcoming the barriers to rolling them out is the bigger problem, reports our contributor @NiranjanAjit

♨️🏘️ Today we are visiting the bowels of Ostend's community #DistrictHeating network in Belgium🇧🇪 with cooperatives and policy makers.
A great opportunity to learn about the advantages of citizen-owned heating and cooling!

Ensuring your building can be heated comfortably with lower temp water in pipes & radiators reduces bills & makes switching to renewable heat efficient.
With @ifeu we looked at how to achieve 'low flow temp heating'.
Why lower flow temperatures in heating systems?
↗️ efficiency of heat pumps
↘️ electricity consumption, operating costs
↘️ stress on electricity grid in winter
More on preparing buildings for low flow temperatures from @ifeu & @regassistproj

Many people don't realize: the EU still imports a ton of Russian LNG.
We finally need an EU embargo on Russian LNG.
Important analysis in this thread and paper.
NEW🚨Europe has an addiction to Russian LNG. This issue must be faced. We propose options to tackle it. Baseline: getting rid of it is viable - and should be done. A short 🧵with main takeaways

NEW STUDY: Go with the flow and keep it low!
In Germany, discussions on decarbonising building heat are exploring benefits of lower flow temperatures in heating systems -> this could be useful across Europe.
Want to know more? Dive into report from @ifeu & @RegAssistProj
Half of energy use in Europe's buildings is for heating ☃️ & hot water 🚿, the majority from fossil fuels
Key in saving energy and switching to #CleanHeat is lowering flow temperatures in heating systems
New paper with @ifeu exploring how to achieve this

Niedrigere Vorlauftemperaturen können die Energieeffizienz von #Waermepumpen und andere Heizungssyteme steigern.
Sie bauen auf das wichtige Zusammenspiel von Bausubstanz und Heizungskapazität.
Cooler heizen: je niedriger die Vorlauftemperatur, desto besser! Eine Studie des #ifeu in Zusammenarbeit mit @RegAssistProj untersucht, wie das Konzept von #LT ready u.a. Kommunen den Umstieg auf erneuerbare #Nahwärme erleichtern kann. ➡️tinyurl.com/t498waam
