The project CommONEnergy (2013- 2017) focuses on transforming shopping centres into energy effcient and high-indoor-environmental-quality buildings, by developing smart renovation strategies and solutions, supporting their implementation, and assessing their environmental and social impact.
Special architectural conditions and needs are common in almost all shopping centres. The main retro t drivers are: (i) improve the indoor environmental quality and functionality, to enhance the customers experience; (ii) reduce the energy consumption; (iii) optimize the building operation and relative maintenance costs and (iv) improve the overall sustainability level reducing the environmental, social, and economic impact.

European Shopper Trends Report Q2 2017. Bringing you the latest consumer behaviour trends from across the globe.
Welcome to our latest European Shopper Trends report, which offers key statistical insight into international shopper behaviour during the second quarter of 2017 across the European region.
Europe’s retailers experienced a slight overall traffic decline of -0.1% Year-on-Year in Q2 2017. Yet some countries, most notably Austria, Ireland and Germany, saw relatively strong footfall uplifts, driven by returning consumer confidence and falling unemployment levels.
There was also evidence of positive sales growth. A star performer was Poland, which experienced an 8.4% increase in retail sales Year-on-Year. Spain too delivered encouraging retail trading, driven by high levels of consumer confidence, and the outstanding performance of fashion players in the country – Uniqlo, Inditex, and H&M are all expanding their store networks and investing in flagships.
Several European countries revealed static or negative retail traffic results during the quarter, with uncertainty surrounding the ongoing Brexit process causing consumer unease in the UK, and high unemployment still troubling Italy. However, there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the rest of 2017, with plenty of retail innovation to be seen across Europe.

ECE's latest study “Secrets of Shopping”, which reveals comprehensive insight into the shopping missions of customers, was also presented at the Retail Meeting for the first time. It is based on the already published customer segmentation study by ECE, which describes eight “Shopper Types” and their characteristics. For the “Secrets of Shopping” study, this classification was – for the first time – used on the ECE centers and connected to the information from more than 100,000 customer interviews at 130 centers in eleven countries

Food and beverage options are playing an increasingly significant role in shopping centers. Turnover from F&B retailers in ECE centers increased by 54 percent between 2010 and 2015 alone. There are many reasons for this: Society is attaching ever greater significance to food and drink, and shopping centers are not excluded from this trend. Visitors to centers are placing ever greater emphasis on a high-quality stay, a pleasant atmosphere and a shopping experience that leaves no base uncovered. This also includes an insistence on contemporary and diverse dining options.
