Energy and climate targets require a radical increase in efforts for implementing and strengthening policies in the building sector.

The proposal for a revised EPBD introduced several elements to reach these goals e.g., zero-emission buildings (ZEB), national building renovation plans (NBRP), minimum energy performance standards (MEPS). Other instruments are strengthened: building renovation passports (BRP) and energy performance certificates (EPC).

The project will achieve three objectives:

1. Support public authorities in six MS (focus countries) in the design, implementation and evaluation of instruments (re-) defined in the proposal of the EPBD (ZEB, NBRP, MEPS, BRPs, EPCs)
2. Adopt a consistent approach for the implementation of building policies stemming from the EPBD recast and use synergies with Fitfor55 and other EU strategies
3. Build a replicable model to support the implementation of EU legislation by closely engaging with CA-EPBD, network agencies, and national partners of the Renovate Europe Campaign as well as policy makers and stakeholders.

Start date: October 2023
