Delivering the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive at the Local Level

This was a dynamic online event, co-organised by Efficient Buildings Europe and the Covenant of Mayors Europe, exploring how European cities are taking concrete steps to implement the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and drive the building renovation wave forward. This session brought together key stakeholders from local governments, EU institutions, and the finance and industry sectors to share insights, experiences, and practical solutions.

Whether you’re a city representative, policymaker, or stakeholder in the building or finance sectors, this event offered a unique opportunity to gain practical knowledge and build connections to support your local energy transition.
