Buildings Performance Institute Europe BPIE
Buildings Performance Institute Europe (BPIE) is a non-profit think tank based in Brussels and Berlin. Its mission is to support an affordable, climate-neutral built environment in Europe and beyond.
The organisation was founded in 2010 to examine energy performance of buildings and provide data-driven and actionable policy analysis, advice and implementation support to decision makers in the public, private and non-profit sectors.
In May 2021, BPIE published a report urging the EU to incorporate the carbon footprint of construction into policy. For more information see: Introducing whole-life carbon metrics: Recommendations for highly efficient and climate-neutral buildings.
