Buildings in the EU currently account for 40% of the European energy demand, their consumption is 75% inefficient and are responsible for 36% of CO2 emissions. It is therefore crucial to improve their energy and carbon performance, notably by stimulating prosumer business models and their integration in the energy system.
The revision of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) is the key EU legislation to achieve this objective and transform buildings into carbon neutral, flexible energy assets. This document aims to provide a comparative analysis on the co-legislators positions for the EPBD revision, giving recommendations for the trilogue negotiations.
