The online briefing will provide an update on two crucial EU directive updates – the Energy Efficiency Directive and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive – which will define the landscape for existing buildings to 2030.

Decarbonising existing non-residential buildings is essential to achieving national and European carbon targets as set out in the European Green Deal. The updated Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and Energy Efficiency Directive will have a significant impact on existing non residential buildings.

The EPBD will introduce Minimum Energy Performance Standards and targets to upgrade the worst performing buildings, requiring the installation of solar energy on existing buildings, and requiring Building Renovation Passports. The Energy Efficiency Directive also requires a renovation rate of at least 3% of the area of public buildings and a 1.9% kWh pa energy reduction for public bodies. This webinar from Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) brings together government officials and SEAI experts making it an essential briefing for all in the public and private sector involved in managing and refurbishing existing buildings.
