The Efficient Energy Use in Buildings Call supports projects that promote energy-efficient and sustainable buildings in Sweden.
The focus areas, of this call include energy efficiency in buildings, sustainable energy systems, flexible energy use, building decarbonisation, innovation clusters, collaboration between stakeholders, renewable energy integration, policy and business model development, and sustainable construction and resource use.
The Swedish Energy Agency has launched this call to support knowledge development, innovation, and collaboration aimed at improving how energy is used in buildings. The initiative recognizes buildings as a key part of the energy transition and a critical component of a flexible and resilient energy system.
The programme addresses the changing role of buildings, shifting from passive energy consumers to active nodes within the energy system. This includes the ability of buildings to share, store, produce, and manage energy more efficiently while contributing to sustainability goals.
The call supports two main areas: research and innovation projects that develop new solutions, technologies, and knowledge, and innovation clusters that strengthen collaboration and identify shared development needs in the sector.
Funded projects are expected to contribute to making buildings active and flexible parts of the energy system, improving energy and power efficiency, increasing user awareness and participation, and strengthening policy, regulations, and business models that support the energy transition.
The call also emphasizes sustainable planning, construction, management, and decommissioning of buildings to reduce climate impact and improve resource efficiency. International cooperation is encouraged to strengthen Swedish expertise and competitiveness in the construction and energy sectors.
Approximately 100 million kronor has been allocated to support eligible projects. The call is open to companies, industry organisations, municipalities, public organisations, universities, colleges, and research institutes, with strong emphasis on cross-sector collaboration.
