We identify, collect and harmonize 50 open government datasets and OpenStreetMap, and perform extensive validation analyses to assess the quality, consistency and completeness of the data in every country. Three main attributes – building height, construction year and type – are included for respectively 73%, 24% and 46% of the buildings. Here, we present eubucco v0.1, a database of individual building footprints for ~202 million buildings across the 27 European Union countries and Switzerland. In Europe, efforts from citizen and governments generated numerous relevant datasets but these are fragmented and heterogeneous, thus hindering their usability. Comprehensive and openly accessible building stock data can enable impactful research exploring the most effective policy options. Building stock management is becoming a global societal and political issue, inter alia because of growing sustainability concerns.
