Project Description

The recast Energy Performance Building Directive requires that each member state has in place a system to disclose the life cycle Global Warming Potential (GWP) of buildings by 2027 through their Energy Performance Certificate. The IMPLEMENT project will engage with international experts in front runner countries implementing building life cycle GWP disclosure regulations to develop a pathway for Ireland to introduce regulations. The development of the implementation pathway in Ireland will involve engagement with relevant authorities, bodies and industry stakeholders in Ireland and will focus on key areas including the implementation methodology, embodied carbon data, digital infrastructure needs, and training and qualification requirements.
