How can public procurement support the upskilling of the construction workforce on energy-efficiency skills? An nZEB guide for public procurers
|
|
A more energy-efficient building stock would help curb GHG emissions, energy consumption and support climate targets. Since 2021, all new buildings in the EU should reach the target nearly-zero energy building (or nZEB) standard, as defined by national governments. So, to help public authorities leverage their purchasing power, the EU-funded nZEB Ready project has developed a Public Procurement Guide.
