The recast of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) marks a critical step forward in aligning European buildings with the EU’s ambitious climate and energy targets. As a key contributor to advancing building performance standards and practices, the EPB Center plays its supporting role in guiding the implementation of this recast at national level across the EU's Member States.

Our support stems directly from the overarching work of our group of EPB experts that focuses on supporting the uptake and further development of the CEN/ISO set of Energy Performance of Buildings (EPB) standards, providing tangible pathways for the transposition and implementation of the EPBD at Member State level. This is achieved by closely collaborating with policymakers, stakeholders, and technical bodies to create synergies that lead to practical, impactful and long-lasting outcomes.

The EPB Center's group of EPB experts remains committed to supporting the effective rollout of the recast EPBD and has prepared the following supporting contributions:
