As mentioned in the ‘Events’ section of this newsletter, Level(s) will soon be hosting a webinar on the revised directive on the energy performance of buildings (EPBD).

In a move towards net-zero emissions, the European Council formally adopted the revised EPBD on 12 April. As part of the revised rules, GWP calculations, based on the corresponding Level(s) indicator 1.2, will soon be required for energy performance certificates. In this way, Level(s) is an essential tool to help you comply with these revised energy performance rules for buildings.

The updated rules will come into effect from 2028, for new buildings with a useful floor area larger than 1,000 m2. From 2030 they will apply to all new buildings.

Ultimately, the directive aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy poverty in the EU.
