GCP Europe is the voice of the building services engineering sector, mechanical contractors, plumbers and HVAC installers. The association represents their interests at the European Union level and, by doing so, contributes to the achievement of EU's climate, energy and prosperity goals.
People spend about 90% of a day in buildings. Indoor climate and water supply, therefore, belong to the main features determining indoor comfort. On the other hand, more than 40% of the final energy consumption in Europe is used for the heating needs of buildings and for domestic hot water production. Hence, technical building systems have become a priority area to reduce the use of traditional energy sources.
