The Concerted Action for the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) is an initiative supported by the European Commission aimed at fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange among EU member states to ensure the effective implementation of the directive.

Revised in 2023, the EPBD holds significant relevance, especially for one-stop shops for residential energy renovation. Article 18 promotes and supports the establishment of one-stop shops to accelerate energy renovation in buildings. In addition, the article addresses the need for accessible renovation services. The member states have two years to transpose the EPBD into national law and thus make it directly effective in the individual countries. The Concerted Action EPBD is organising regular plenary meetings for EU Member States’ experts to discuss and share experiences on the directive and its implementation.

EU Peers is invited to present the Community of practice and its added-value in the current context of the transposition at the next plenary meeting of the CA EPBD in November in Lisbon. As a unique platform for exchange and learning, EU Peers brings together practitioners and supporters who already have valuable experience with the one-stop shop approach to simplify and accelerate energy renovation of residential buildings. Consequently, their knowledge can only enrich the upcoming EPBD transposition. Sharing this knowledge is a core mission of EU Peers.

We are happy to present the potential of the Community of practice and share our experiences on 20-21 November in Lisbon!
