Horizon 2020 EU-funded Project Cultural-E is officially launching the PEB HUB, the Plus Energy Building (PEB) repository with the support of the HUB de ACE. The PEB HUB aspires to become a community powered by Plus Energy Buildings professionals. It is meant to support and empower designers in transitioning towards a European building stock that produces more final energy than it uses.
