EPBD conference, policy makers’ conference

MEHI and Energiaklub organised a mini-conference focusing on the Hungarian implementation of the EU Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings (EPBD).

At the event, we presented our new publication: Guidance on the Hungarian Transposition of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). This publication is the Hungarian translation of the original English guide produced by Efficient Buildings Europe, adapted to the Hungarian context.

Below, we highlight selected recommendations from the fifty policy proposals included in the publication and offer a preview of the insights provided by invited Hungarian experts regarding national implementation. You can also access the draft agenda by clicking here.
