Green Buildings – How the European Directive for Energy Efficiency in Buildings Will Affect Your Market
Climate Change is the EU’s top international priority according to the European Commission and the Member States are committed to cutting down on CO2 emissions to meet the Kyoto Protocol targets. Despite all the efforts, Member States keep on wasting significant part of their energy, due to inefficiency and buildings are responsible for 40% of total carbon-dioxide emissions. If the EU is to achieve its targets, reducing energy use in all buildings is essential and the Energy Performance Building Directive (EPBD) is intended to contribute to realising this.
Highlights of the briefing include: The EU’s standpoint on energy efficiency, the concept of Green Buildings in Europe compared to the US, the implementation of EPBD at national level, including case studies, focus on current developments and comparisons
