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.
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.
Organised by CINEA with several LIFE projects, this high‑level event will set out the EU SRI implementation status and demonstrate practical support for Member States, including tools for SRI audits, test‑phase design, and EPC integration.
The European Union’s recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) marks a pivotal shift in the continent’s approach to energy efficiency. With binding targets and lifecycle standards, it aims to transform Europe’s building stock into a low-consumption, zero-emission asset.
El Gobierno abre a consulta pública el Plan Estatal de Vivienda 2026-2030, que destinará el 30% de sus 7.000 millones a la rehabilitación energética de edificios, buscando transformar más de 260.000 viviendas en espacios eficientes y sostenibles.
Local energy agencies could be pivotal in successfully implementing the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). This article explores how their expertise in renovation and close ties with communities help activate demand and tailor minimum energy efficiency standards to each territory.
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) 2024 drives the renovation of buildings in the EU through Minimum Energy Performance Standards, setting deadlines towards 2050 and including technical and financial support measures.
