This report maps the developing policy landscape at the EU level and provides recommendations to guide policymakers in the implementation of SPENs at national and local level.
The recast EPBD explicitly mentions the neighbourhood approach, sets minimum energy standards, and addresses energy poverty, all of which are elements of the PEN approach. This report analyses key EU policies relevant for underpinning the positive neighbourhood approach to building renovations.
The EPBD recast prioritises increasing building renovation rates, enhancing indoor environmental quality, providing tailored national strategies, implementing targeted financing, and tenant protections while aligning with the European Green Deal's climate objectives.
The paper examines updates in the EPBD revision, emphasising its pivotal role in introducing crucial changes to building regulations towards decarbonisation goals.
Implementing the European Green Deal and achieving Climate Neutrality across the EU will require substantial investments and projects at the local and regional level. Motivated leaders are essential to drive this transformation.
With the final goal of achieving a decarbonised building sector by 2050, the recent approval of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive has elicited reactions from different players in the energy and construction ecosystem. Check the updated documents released by the European Commission and some insights and tools from relevant stakeholders in the field.
The directive empowers Member States to reduce emissions and energy usage in buildings, enhancing health and quality of life. It promotes energy independence, mandates zero-emission standards for new buildings, and encourages the phase-out of fossil fuels, driving sustainable mobility and combating energy poverty.
