HouseEurope! is the European Citizens’ Initiative for new EU-laws to make renovation and transformation more easy, affordable and social.  Because the demolition of existing buildings is as outdated as food waste, animal testing and single-use plastics.

Formålet med initiativet er at skabe incitamenter til renovering og ombygning af eksisterende bygninger. Initiativtagerne opfordrer Kommissionen til at foreslå lovgivning, der tilskynder til genbrug af eksisterende bygninger på grundlag af: i) "skattenedsættelser for renoveringsarbejder og genbrugte materialer" ii) "rimelige regler for vurdering af både potentialer og risici ved eksisterende bygninger" og iii) "nye værdier for den indlejrede CO₂ i eksisterende strukturer«.

The initiative, presented in the form of a petition, aims to challenge European leaders and influence EU policies. HouseEurope! would like to table a proposal for a European law to promote building renovation and make the construction industry more sustainable. This ECI will be considered by the European Commission if it manages to gather the signatures of 1 million European citizens from at least 7 EU countries by January 2026.
