EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive

The EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) aims to improve the energy efficiency of buildings across Europe. It requires countries to set standards for new and existing buildings, promoting better insulation, energy-saving technologies, and renewable energy use. The goal is to reduce energy consumption, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and make buildings more sustainable. This involves regular energy assessments, issuing energy certificates, and encouraging renovations that enhance energy performance. Overall, the directive helps create buildings that use less energy, save money, and support a greener environment.
