The revised EPBD puts Europe on track to achieve a fully decarbonised building stock by 2050 by spurring renovations in each Member State, particularly for worst-performing buildings. It upgrades the existing regulatory framework (agreed in 2018) to reflect higher climate ambition coupled with social action and provides the Member States with the flexibility needed to take into account the differences in the building stock across Europe.

Article 15 of the revised EPBD tasks the Commission to submit a report by 30 June 2026 on the testing phase of the SRI. Taking into account the outcome of the report, the Commission shall adopt by 30 June 2027 a delegated act requiring the application of the SRI in large non-residential buildings.
