EPBD: The Real Game-Changer for Europe’s Building Sector, discusses the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and its significant impact on Europe's real estate and construction industries. It explains that the EPBD aims to decarbonise the building stock by 2050 through measures like minimum energy performance standards and a gradual phase-out of fossil fuel boilers.
This podcast discusses who will be affected, including building owners, social housing providers, commercial real estate, and the public sector, and details country-specific examples of compliance. It highlights the benefits of compliance, such as access to green financing and increased property values, while also warning of the risks of non-compliance, including fines and the creation of "stranded assets."
We conclude by emphasising that the EPBD is a call to action for stakeholders to embrace energy efficiency for long-term financial and environmental sustainability.
