Building conversations up with... Jarek Kurnitski, Full Professor at Tallinn University of Technology and Adjunct Professor at Aalto University.
The event, which took place online on 17 September, explored how Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) can support decarbonisation, strengthen renovation strategies, and provide valuable data for policymakers and financial institutions.
BUILD UP brought together representatives from the European Commission, the Flemish region in Belgium and other key stakeholders to discuss the implementation challenges and solutions of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) across Member States.
The EU has launched a public consultation to define how the global warming potential (GWP) of new buildings should be calculated. This requirement will become mandatory from 2028 — a step towards low-carbon materials and full transparency across the building life cycle.
The EPC Atlas is an interactive tool that unveils Europe’s energy mosaic: over 85 certification and smart assessment systems brought together in a single map. A digital compass to understand, compare, and improve energy efficiency in buildings across the continent.
Ireland must transpose the new European energy efficiency directive, which requires the renovation of the most inefficient non-residential buildings before 2030. The challenge: incomplete data, insufficient support, and tight deadlines. How to balance regulation, financing, and climate action?
How are Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) and renovation trajectories being translated from EU policy into national action? Discover the instruments, data, timelines, and rules reshaping building upgrades across Europe.
EU countries are transposing the recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), with a different approach to Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) and renovation trajectories. This living news provides an overview of how these measures are being implemented across Europe.
