Abstract

This document aims to: - Provide technical guidance on climate-adaptation measures at the building scale. These adaptation measures aim to be relevant for both new and existing buildings, across the different climatic zones of Europe. - Present adaptation solutions that reduce the most important identified climate risks that affect the built environment (as categorised by the EU Taxonomy). - Orientate stakeholders across the building industry to the actions they can take to improve building performance. This includes strategies for owners, operators, users, policy makers, engineers, architects and insurers. - Support the development and alignment of key EU policies.
