Eurovent feedback on the proposal for a recast EPBD

The European Commission published its proposal for a recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) on 15 December 2021. The proposal is positive overall. It ups the ambition level and seeks to address many of the shortcomings of the current Directive. An ambitious EPBD that enables the objectives of the Renovation Wave is essential to meet the EU’s decarbonisation objectives and unlock the co-benefits of building renovation.
