Workshop Purpose
EPB (Energy Performance of Buildings) standards are shaping the next generation of high-performance, low-carbon buildings. This is a unique opportunity to accelerate their evolution – so they stay ahead of innovation, support ambitious climate goals, and remain workable for the market.
Through ISO/TC 163 and ISO/TC 205, the global community is setting the methods that drive better building performance, lower energy demand, and measurable environmental benefits. Join the work to help ensure the standards are practical, internationally aligned, and ready for real projects across regions.
Key Topics:
- EPB-standards
- Systemic approach
- (Sub)hourly calculation
- Digitalization & Software

Why participate:
Investing time, expertise, and resources in EPB development strengthens international collaboration and helps turn leading-edge solutions into widely adopted best practice – while reducing the risk of unintended trade barriers.
Your voice matters. Your engagement will enrich the group of experts to develop the details that ripple across the entire built environment. Contributing now helps ensure the standards reflect on-the-ground realities and support confident adoption by industry and science.
Participation also gives you a front-row seat to what’s coming next: early visibility into emerging requirements, direct access to key decision makers, and stronger inputs to guide product, design, and investment decisions – turning change into advantage.
Engage now to help shape the methodologies that will guide buildings for decades. Whether you represent industry, academia, or building ownership, your contribution can strengthen credibility, transparency, and impact – so the standards deliver better outcomes for everyone.
The workshop provides an essential platform for international collaboration to discuss the future of building energy efficiency and climate action through standardization. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with global experts and contribute to shaping the future of the built environment.
The Role of EPB Center in the Standardization Landscape
As a leading voice in building performance and standards, the EPB Center remains at the forefront of contributing to the development and dissemination of CEN and ISO standards. Our active involvement in the relevant technical committees and working groups, combined with our participation in a series of related international projects, strengthens our mission to promote energy-efficient and sustainable building practices across Europe and beyond.
