Thereby, the building sector has a large untapped potential for the reduction of CO2 emissions by optimizing in construction and management. The EU has issued a Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings (EPBD) as the main EU policy instrument to improve in this regard (Directive 2002\/91\/EC). The directive involves a framework for assessing the energy performance of buildings through Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) that need to include reference values, such as current legal standards. Hence, the relationship between buildings and energy, impacts a wide spectrum from strategic to operational concerns, including energy efficiency investment decisions, buildings energy performance management, energy efficiency policies, smart buildings, and energy disaggregation. This makes data on energy efficiency in buildings crucial for the discussion and the decision-making in many practical contexts by households, academicians, or policymakers. Moreover, a wide variety of information is needed, starting from the existing building stock to solutions in ventilation and air conditioning, socio-demographic information, cultural perception of thermal comfort to climatic and weather information. To some extent, this data is available; however, databases are unorganized and not interlinked. A comprehensive collection of European buildings and urban stock data has been identified by the <span style=\"color: #003300;\"><a class=\"external text\" style=\"color: #003300; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/energy\/en\/topics\/energy-efficiency\/energy-performance-of-buildings\/eubuildings\" rel=\"nofollow\">European Buildings Stock Observatory<\/a><\/span>, serving as a starting point for the use case.<\/p><p>A specific part of energy consumption in residential buildings is due to the use of household appliances. Time series of corresponding demand profiles on this scale are typically not open, but constitute business assets of utilities. A wealth of information on such data is produced due to the massive rollout of smart meters across Europe. Access to this data raises important concerns regarding privacy issues (V\u00e9liz and Grunewald 2018). Thus, legal restrictions as well as commercial interests have to be accounted for. Finally, analyzing this information by e.g. geolocation or social strata is key to mitigate energy poverty making the energy transition inclusive for all.<\/p><p>To this end, the use case on buildings efficiency has three main goals: 1) identifying the available metadata on buildings efficiency and constructing a metadata repository of available data, 2) assessing the level of FAIRness and openness of the available data with the contribution of experts from the field in the planned workshops, and 3) contributing to the FAIRification and opening of the available data respecting privacy concerns. In doing so, it will utilize existing databases such as the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #003300; text-decoration: underline;\"><a class=\"external text\" style=\"color: #003300; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/energy\/en\/topics\/energy-efficiency\/energy-performance-of-buildings\/eubuildings\" rel=\"nofollow\">European Buildings Stock Observatory<\/a><\/span><\/span> and the databases developed by the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #003300;\"><a class=\"external text\" style=\"color: #003300; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entranze.eu\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">ENTRANZE<\/a> <\/span>project.
