The European Commission has published a package of documents to provide support to EU countries in implementing the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). Its effective implementation will help to strengthen energy independence, lower energy bills, and lower grid investment needs. It will also help the EU to achieve the energy efficiency goal of reducing energy consumption by 11.7% by 2030 and stimulate the roll-out of renewables in buildings. Moreover, it should create a stable environment for investment decisions and make the EU’s construction industry and cleantech companies more competitive. 

Comprising a delegated regulation, an implementing regulation and a comprehensive set of guidance documents, the package offers practical guidance as EU countries look to transpose the directive into national law by May 2026.
