Energy Performance of Buildings Directive

This section contains a comprehensive overview of EU legislation related to the energy performance of buildings. It includes not only regulatory texts but also Commission communications such as guidelines and recommendations, as well as studies, reports, and other relevant materials. The database contains the most recent publications but also allows you to go back in time. 

The listed documents introduce binding targets to reduce primary energy consumption in both residential and non-residential buildings. They place strong emphasis on renovation strategies for the worst-performing buildings and promote the uptake of zero-emission and nearly zero-energy buildings.
