Topic of the month
This month, we explore how the EPBD supports the transition towards climate-neutral and zero emission buildings (ZEBs) across Europe:
- Policy frameworks and criteria for zero-emission buildings under the EPBD
- Cost-optimal methodologies, primary energy calculations and lifecycle approaches

Eight EU Member States have met the deadline of 31 December 2025 and submitted their draft National Building Renovation Plans (NBRPs), marking the first concrete step in implementing the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) framework for the decarbonisation of Europe’s building stock.
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.
