The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) is a key piece of legislation passed by the European Union to improve the energy efficiency of buildings. The directive outlines a long-term strategy for renovating residential and non-residential buildings to achieve a highly energy-efficient and decarbonized building stock by 2050. It also promotes the use of renewable energies and sets minimum energy performance requirements for new and existing building. #EPBD #energyefficiency #sustainability

🙌 We welcome European Parliament support for the Energy Performance Buildings Directive (EPBD), confirmed today. This is a flagship policy of the European Green Deal and is essential to decarbonising the built environment. 🏗 The introduction of energy performance standards for both residential and commercial real estate will scale up the retrofitting of the worst performing buildings across Europe, improving energy efficiency. 🔥 All EU member states will also be required to establish National Building Renovation plans and will need to include a renovation roadmap with short, medium and long term national targets. Importantly these should include a roadmap to phase out fossil fuel boilers by 2040. #EUPolicy #EPBD #RealEstate #NetZero #GreenDeal

🗣 ·#Energyperformance #buildings #EPBD #zeroemissions The Official Journal of the European Union has published the text of Directive (EU) 2024/1275 on the energy performance of buildings #EPBD, which will enter into force from 28 May 2024. It sets ambitious targets to reduce the overall energy use of buildings across the EU, taking into account national specificities.  All new residential and non-residential buildings must have zero on-site emissions from fossil fuels, as of 1 January 2028 for publicly-owned buildings and as of 1 January 2030 for all other new buildings, with a possibility for specific exemptions. The Directive contains new provisions to progressively phase-out fossil fuels from heating in buildings and boost the deployment of solar power installations. By 2050 the EU building stock should be transformed into a zero-emission building stock. More information available: https://lnkd.in/d2w3FWBs

Did you know about the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)? This directive aims to improve the energy efficiency of buildings across the EU. It sets requirements for energy performance certificates, energy audits, and nearly zero-energy buildings.   For property owners, understanding and complying with EPBD is crucial. Not only does it promote sustainability and reduce environmental impact, but it also enhances the value and marketability of properties. Compliance can lead to lower energy bills, increased tenant satisfaction, and improved overall building performance.   💡Stay informed about EPBD to ensure your properties meet the required standards and reap the benefits of energy efficiency! #EPBD #EnergyEfficiency #Sustainability

My new open access paper is now out on governing experimentation to decarbonise the electricity sector (with a focus on #ARENA). One of the critical challenges for public and private actors attempting to achieve deep decarbonisation is how to develop and decide on decarbonisation solutions in the face of deep uncertainty and significant coordination difficulties. Through the lens of experimentation, the article presents the case of Australia and its efforts to reconfigure its national electricity grid, focussing on the roles and governance approach adopted for a key institution, the Australian Renewable Energy Agency, and its Accelerator Lab, which are at the leading edge of experimentation. Key findings: Experimentation can be used to achieve decarbonisation efficiently and effectively, but is institutionally and politically demanding. Tailored governance is needed to produce effective solutions from experimentation, and the experience of ARENA sheds light on the challenges and the new governance forms that will be needed. #energypolicy #climatechange #renewableenergy #innovation #UniversityofSydney #SydneyEnvironmentInstitute #AustralianRenewableEnergyAgency The University of Sydney Law School Sydney Environment Institute Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA)

The European Commission has finally agreed and published the Energy Performance Buildings Directive (EPBD). The final Directive made further changes to the 2021 draft proposal. For instance, the Commission introduced some subjectivity to what should be considered a class-G building, ultimately changing the previously set targets. According to our calculations, the new target for residential properties is more ambitious than the previous 2021 draft targets. Regarding green bonds, we do not foresee any considerable impact.
