For instance, according to the European Commission, buildings are the largest energy consumers in Europe, with most energy used for heating and cooling to maintain comfort. 85% of buildings in Europe were constructed before 2000, and among 85%, 75% are performing poorly. Thus, improving energy efficiency in these buildings in Europe is essential. The government is focusing on improving building performance across the region, which will further help to lower costs, reduce energy consumption, and move toward a fully decarbonized building stock by 2050. Thus, such initiatives by the European government will drive the adoption of active insulation during the forecast period.

Additionally, the European government is improving energy efficiency upgrades through
