The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) represents the most important legislative instrument for buildings decarbonisation across the European Union. The EPBD implementation process provides the opportunity to create a coherent policy framework for buildings decarbonisation, develop a holistic approach towards renovations and advance a long-term vision to achieve a zero-emission building stock by 2050. The aim of this report is to provide an overview of Member States’ policy needs for implementing the EPBD. This contributes to identifying the critical areas that need to be further addressed in the policy guidelines being developed within the EPBD.wise project.
