The New EPBD: A New Standard for a More Sustainable Future

It has been 22 years since the first Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) came into force. Two decades in which climate change has gone from being an abstract concept on panels of experts to something as tangible as sweat in March due to 35ºC, knee-deep water in the living room after torrential rains to pay 10€ for a litre of olive oil produced in an ever-dry countryside. Also, in the last twenty years, climate change and sustainability in general have gained space in the public and political agenda.

The EU Peers Advisory Board accepts the mission to strengthen the Integrated Home Renovation Services movement

Eleven EU Peers consortium partners are teaming up with eleven, freshly appointed, EU Peers Advisory Board members. Their mission is a bit more complex than playing a football match and will last longer than 90 minutes. They are putting their heads together to help EU Peers strengthen the Integrated Home Renovation Services (IHRS) movement.

Let’s be pragmatic: Final steps in Paris before the launch of EU Peers Community of Practice

This description of the mission and vision of EU Peers highlights how far EU Peers has come since the first steps at the project’s kick-off meeting in September 2023: Not just in our understanding of the Community of Practice, but also regarding the visualisation of EU Peers. At the second project meeting in Paris, from 10-12 April 2024, this was particularly evident in a small but striking detail: EU Peers project partners and interested parties could be recognized instantly due to small buttons with the EU Peers logo.

Policy & Regulation

How the EPBD connects to the EU PEERS Community for Integrated Home Renovation Services - an Interpretation

The European Union has been at the forefront of crafting policies addressing the built environment's environmental impact. An example of this is the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) first enacted in 2002. A key instrument in the effort to address climate change. Through the Directive, Europe recognizes the responsibility of buildings for a significant portion of total energy consumption.
