| The EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive |
|
The EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive requires member states to reduce energy consumption in buildings for heating, air-conditioning, hot water and lighting purposes. The requirements are applicable for new buildings and for larger, existing buildings when undergoing major renovations.
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive entered into force 4 January 2003. Member States have a maximum of 3 years in which to implement the provisions, i.e. by 4 January 2006.
It is up to each individual member state to set the actual performance requirements in the national building regulations.
