The European real estate market is undergoing its most significant transformation in decades.
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), now on it's way to becoming legally binding, is no longer just an aspiration - it's a mandate reshaping property values, financing, and marketability across the EU. Join us as we deep dive into the EPBD's critical requirements, from the ambitious Zero Emission Building (ZEB) standards for new construction to the stringent Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for existing properties.
We'll unpack the crucial deadlines, the digital infrastructure of EPCs and Renovation Passports, and the hard-hitting financial implications for owners and investors, including the very real threat of stranded assets and the opportunities for green finance.
We also explore the systemic challenges of supply chains, grid integration, and the essential social safeguards designed to ensure a fair transition.
Whether you're an owner, investor, developer, or simply interested in the future of European property, this episode will equip you with the essential insights to navigate Europe's green building revolution.
Correction:The statement "60% GHG reduction by 2030 vs 2015.” is incorrect The binding EPBD target is 11.7% cut in final energy use by 2030 vs 2020
