Danish-Dutch Dialogue on Sustainable Buildings
Are you interested in learning more about innovations in sustainable buildings in the Netherlands? Do you want to actively contribute to the dialogue that can lead to change? Then join the Danish-Dutch dialogue on sustainable buildings!
The Netherlands and Denmark share high ambitions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and jointly push for higher sustainability targets on an international and European level.
Buildings represent approximately 35% of the total energy consumed in the Netherlands and 40% in Denmark. The potential to save energy focusing on the existing building stock and energy infrastructure is therefore substantial. The Netherlands has initiated a major renovation and retrofitting strategy with an initial focus on the social housing sector, which represents 75% of the total rental stock. In Denmark, the potential for energy savings in the existing building stock is around 70-75% up to 2050. Therefore, applying energy efficient solutions in buildings in both countries is an important task to reach both goals in the building stock and overall climate goals.
This Danish-Dutch dialogue on sustainable buildings will gather stakeholders from both the Danish and Dutch building sector to create a dialogue on how we can work together to ensure that both countries can achieve their ambitious goals of making the building stock more sustainable.
