Germany must systematically collect building efficiency data like all other EU countries, which would boost its lagging efforts to make its housing stock climate-neutral,聽聽the Buildings Performance Institute Europe (BPIE), an independent think tank. 鈥淏uilding data is central to monitoring the energy transition and achieving climate targets. However, Germany is currently poorly equipped when it comes to building data,鈥� BPIE said, adding that Germany is the only country in Europe without a database for energy performance certificate data.

Rapidly setting up a corresponding database on buildings is essential in Germany because 鈥減olicymakers, as well as the finance and real estate sectors, urgently need this data to monitor the energy transition, fulfill reporting and renovation obligations, and ultimately contribute to achieving the climate goals for the building stock,鈥� the BPIE said. As a laggard, Germany can draw from European neighbours鈥� experiences of setting up such a database, argued the institute, which published聽聽on lessons from other countries, including recommendations for national implementation.

BPIE said Germany should form a building data task force involving all relevant stakeholders to create a central database by May 2026. 鈥淗aving better access to property data helps building owners modernise their properties鈥� energy performance and secure their value,鈥� BPIE 蝉补颈诲.听

Four in five houses聽in Germany are still heated with oil and gas. Around 15 percent of the country鈥檚 total CO2 emissions come from heating buildings, meaning the vast majority of the country's聽40 million homes聽must switch to climate-neutral heating technology聽鈥� such as heat pumps 鈥� if it is to reach its 2045 net-zero emissions target. But a buildings energy law designed to promote this transition has been the subject of fierce debate due to the high cost of installing heat pumps. After months of wrangling, the coalition government reached a聽compromise in 2023, passing a less ambitious law.
