Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)

The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) is a European law aimed at improving the energy efficiency of buildings. It encourages better design, construction, and operation of buildings to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The EPBD requires member countries to set energy performance standards, use energy labels on buildings to indicate their efficiency, and promote the use of renewable energy sources. The goal is to create more sustainable buildings that use less energy, lower costs, and contribute to climate change mitigation, while still ensuring comfort and safety for occupants.
