EuroACE publishes its EPBD Guidance Note for consultation

EuroACE published its Guide to the Implementation of the Amended Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) 2018, opening it for consultation to all stakeholders until 7 September 2018. It was first presented at the C4E Forum in Warsaw on 14 June 2018.

The Guidance Note addresses the main changes introduced by the amending Directive 2018/844/EU in six chapters:

• Overview of the process – what remains the same and what has changed
• Long-term renovation strategies – the central tool for Member States to achieve impact
• Individual building renovation passports – a powerful new tool for Member States
• Financing energy efficiency in buildings – the link to improved performance
• Smart and technology-equipped buildings
• Measuring the energy performance of a building – putting energy efficiency first in the Annex I methodology

The final version, the EuroACE Guide to EPBD Implementation, was published in November 2018.
