The new Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD 4) was approved earlier this year by the European institutions. This Directive introduces new targets for energy efficiency, both for new-builds and existing buildings. It defines the new concept of Net Zero Buildings, involves life cycle evaluations, and expands interest beyond the building fabric, also covering aspects connected to sustainable mobility.

The EPBD and its implications for public and social housing practitioners was identified by our Topic Group members as a pressing issue. During this webinar, Isaac Scaramella, energy expert and Topic Group coordinator, gave a detailed presentation, followed by questions from the participants. We then held a roundtable, where participants commented on how the EPBD’s national transposition process is going in their countries.
