2026-07-22

LiveBetter advances the EU Renovation Wave Strategy, the revised EPBD, and the NEB initiative by unlocking investments in deep renovations and accelerating their adoption across Europe. To achieve this, LiveBetter will establish the Standardized Common European Digital Buildings Hub, integrating: a) a high-performance, Data Space-compliant data-sharing mechanism for quality assurance in the building sector; b) an arsenal of 15 market-ready, AI-based services. The LiveBetter Hub will be a dynamic, adaptive digital environment, compliant with the EU BSO, facilitating a secure access to highquality data and services destined for accurate, reliable, dynamic EPCs (CERTIFICATION), digital building inspections (INSPECTION), DT-based performance-vs-comfort building management (PERFORMANCE), renovation planning and financing (RENOVATION) and flexible, DR-ready ready buildings (ACTIVATION). We will leverage and further extend data-driven tools and models from 24 past and ongoing EU-funded projects to be integrated in the LiveBetter Hub. The services address 6 unique Business Cases, which will betested in 6 End-user Groups, covering all key stakeholders across the building value chain (i.e. building owners, construction companies, financial institutions, occupants, energy utilities, local authorities and academia energy experts). To drive market adoption, LiveBetter will introduce innovative financing schemes, policies, and business models, alongside an engagement and capacity-building strategy. Special focus will be placed on non-tech stakeholders, supported through a Community of Practice (CoP) and Building Clinics. Finally, LiveBetter will leverage synergies with major EU initiatives (e.g. EU BSO, DEEP, Level(s) Framework, EDIH) and the Smart Energy Cluster, ensuring alignment with Europe’s digitalization and energy transition goals.
