Supported by the IWG5-CSA project, the Implementation Working Group on Energy Efficiency in Buildings (IWG5) has updated its implementation plan promoting mainstreaming innovative renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies in buildings, improving the renovation rate while also considering resource efficiency, circularity, and the flexibility potential of buildings. 

The Implementation Plan is the main guiding document for the planning of R&I activities of the group describing the technological and non-technological activities that need to be implemented by the SET Plan countries in order to unlock the energy savings potential of buildings. This is the first update of the Implementation Plan of IWG5 focusing on technical aspects which will be followed by a second update covering societal aspects in summer 2025.
