The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) is a European Union initiative aimed at enhancing the energy efficiency of buildings within the EU. This directive mandates energy performance certification, sets minimum energy performance standards for both new and existing buildings, and promotes cost-effective energy-saving measures.

The primary objectives of the EPBD are to:

  • achieve a highly energy efficient and decarbonised building stock by 2050
  • create a stable environment for investment decisions
  • enable consumers and businesses to make more informed choices to save energy and money
