EPBD Article 13 in practice: implementation lessons and open questions 

On 15 October, eu.bac organised, with REHVA‘s support, a practical workshop on the implementation of the Energy Performance of Buildings direction (EPBD), titled “Building Automation for Better Performance: Delivering the EPBD in a Changing Climate”. The workshop was part of the European Energy Efficiency Day, and it was held in the European Parliament, hosted by MEP Mārtiņš Staķis.

The session followed a series of conversations between eu.bac and Member State authorities, on the practical challenges of implementing the EPBD. It brought together industry and technical experts, EU institutions representatives, as well as national and regional authorities to find pathways for collaboration and emerging approaches for successful implementation.

Based on the workshop’s discussion and a limited pre-workshop survey, we have developed a practical implementation note with learned lessons and open questions. Download the note below.
