As announced in the European Green Deal, the Commission adopted on 14 October 2020 a strategic Communication "Renovation Wave for Europe - greening our buildings, creating jobs, improving lives". It contains an action plan with specific regulatory, financing and enabling measures for the years to come and pursues the aim to at least double the annual energy renovation rate of buildings by 2030 and to foster deep renovations. This goal requires a revision of the relevant EU legal act, the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 2010/31/EU (EPBD). The revision will focus on provisions that are central to boosting building renovation.

In order to gather insights from the public, the European Commission has just launched a public consultation open until 22 June 2021 (more information here).

In addition, DG ENER is organising a series of 5 stakeholder workshops to get the feedback from the stakeholders interested in providing relevant input to each thematic.

The next workshops are planned on Thursdays 15 and 29 April 2021, from 9h00 to 12h00 CET.
For more information or to register, please contact the project team representative.
