In 2020, the Commission presented its Renovation Wave strategy to boost the energy renovation of buildings in the EU. This strategy contains an action plan with: (i) regulatory, financing and enabling measures; and (ii) the goal of at least doubling the annual energy renovation rate of buildings by 2030. This goal requires a revision of the relevant EU legal act, the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. The revision will focus on provisions that are central to boosting building renovation. The Commission would like to hear your views.

This roadmap is open for feedback. Feedback will be taken into account for the further development and fine tuning of the initiative. The Commission will summarise the comments received in a report, explaining how feedback will be taken on board and, if applicable, why certain suggestions can't be taken up. View the inception impact assessment for the EPBD revision and share your views before 22 March 2021.
