The European Commission has welcomed the definitive adoption of the Revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), a crucial stage in the European Green Deal which establishes a framework of reference for member states, aimed at reducing emissions and energy consumption in EU buildings and covers everything related to homes, workplaces, schools, hospitals and other public buildings.

The problem of decarbonisation in Europe is a pressing one, but there are still some complex issues to resolve which require a coordinated effort by the entire EU. In light of this, fifteen member states have signed an open letter, urging the European Commission to publish their long-awaited Heat Pump Action Plan, including a revision of the now obsolete 2016 strategy for the heating and cooling sector.

Through the Better Buildings Initiative, the United States Department of Energy (DOE) is collaborating with public and private sector organisations to improve the energy efficiency of commercial, public, industrial and residenitial buildings, thus enabling the owners to reduce costs and emissions while boosting economic growth.

Global warming is one of the toughest challenges facing the world in the twenty-first century and its consequences, which are already apparent, are leading to increasingly intense debate over how to mitigate its effects. In order to appreciate the entity of this problem and the importance of taking immediate action, we should take a look at the data recently collected by the WWF.

The term energy storage refers to the process of capturing and storing surplus energy produced from various sources, especially renewable ones.

The European Commission has published a detailed impact assessment of possible routes towards achieving climate neutrality in Europe by 2050. According to data collected, the most promising strategy seems to be to obtain a 90% reduction in greenhouse gases compared to 1990 levels by the year 2040.

The concept of Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS) has emerged as a promising solution offering a flexible and convenient way to meet data storage requirements. In today’s modern digital world, data management is a key element in companies and for individuals, due to the exponential rise in the quantity of information generated.
