Scientists from the University of Chicago, Argonne National Laboratory and Duke University in the USA jointly with their colleagues from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore developed a new type of filter capable of capturing carbon dioxide directly from ambient air. Different from cumbersome energy-intensive industrial units, such filter may be embedded into a standard ventilation

This webinar will introduce three national initiatives that collect and share data to support healthier indoor environments. The French National Ventilation Observatory provides inspection results and indicators on ventilation systems, based on data collected since October 2023. It helps to monitor compliance and performance across the country. Similarly, the Belgian ventilation inspection database compiles inspection data. Finally, the SAMHE Database in the UK gathers real-time indoor air quality data from schools, combining measurement with awareness-raising among pupils and teachers.

With this directive, agreed by the co-legislators on 10 March 2023 and in force since 10 October 2023, the EU sets a binding goal to achieve an overall reduction in the final energy consumption of 11.7% by 2030 (compared to 2020 projections). Delivering this target demands a concerted effort from all EU countries over the next 5 years, which is reflected in their National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs). The Commission monitors progress in this domain, notably by analysing NECPs. The Commission’s EU-wide assessment of the cumulative impact of the updated NECPs (COM/2025/274), published in May, indicated that, while many countries have raised their energy efficiency ambitions, further efforts are needed to fully meet the target.
