Innovative pathways for low carbon and climate-resilient building stock

This call seeks proposals to develop scalable and replicable planning methods and procedures for the decarbonisation and climate resilience of buildings. Projects must validate innovative solutions in diverse environments, ensuring improved whole life carbon performance and sustainability. The call aims to address barriers to the adoption of advanced building solutions and to engage stakeholders across the construction value chain.

Opening Date: 16 September 2025
Deadline: 17 February 2026

This funding opportunity represents a pre-agreed draft that has not yet been officially approved by the European Commission. The final, approved version is expected to be published in the first quarter of 2025. This draft is provided for informational purposes and may be used to preliminarily form consortia and develop project ideas, but it is offered without any guarantees or warranties.

Expected Outcome

  • Measurable increase in the number of replicable and scalable planning approaches and
    building solutions to tackle energy performance, sustainability, climate resilience,
    safety and durability of buildings and the built environment;
  • Measurable increase in awareness of relevant construction and value chain actors on
    replicable and scalable holistic planning approaches and building solutions;
  • Measurable improvement in buildings’ and built environment’s energy performance
    and climate resilience

Scope

  • Develop and validate innovative technological solutions that support the
    decarbonization and climate resilience of buildings and the built environment,
    addressing energy performance, sustainability, climate resilience, safety and durability
    of the building stock and whole life carbon reduction. These solutions must cover at
    least nature-based solutions and local renewable energy generation and consumption.
  • Develop and validate urban planning processes for applying these solutions and
    integrate these solutions in new or existing planning tools.
  • Validate the planning processes and technological solutions in a relevant environment
    in at least three different countries, with diverse climatic conditions and building stock
    characteristics. At least two of these solutions should be relevant for renovation.
  • Ensure that the integration of innovative tools, products and techniques enables
    construction and renovation processes to facilitate adaptability to changing user needs.
  • Develop a methodology for assessing the effectiveness of the proposed solutions,
    which incorporates whole life carbon reduction and life-cycle global warming
    potential.
  • Ensure the active involvement of all relevant public and private stakeholders of the
    whole renovation and construction value chain which must include among others:
    municipalities, and the building and construction sector professions.
  • Contribute to the objectives of the Built4People partnership and to the Built4People
    network of innovation clusters.
