A directive for more sustainable and efficient buildings

The EPBD (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive) sets out the European Union's roadmap with guidelines for transforming the building sector: lower consumption, greater sustainability and real added value for your assets.


What is the EPBD Directive?

Origin and objectives

The EPBD (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive) was adopted by the European Union to:

  • Reduce the energy consumption of buildings.

  • Achieve carbon neutrality targets by 2050.

  • Encourage the use of renewable energy and improve occupant comfort.

Main obligations

  • Minimum energy performance standards for all new and renovated buildings.

  • Renovation requirements for existing buildings to reduce their energy consumption.

  • Energy certification mandatory for property transactions.

  • Deployment of control and automation systems (in accordance with the BACS Decree in France).

Who is affected?

  • Residential and commercial buildings.

  • Renovation and construction projects in all European Union member states.

The impact of the EPBD Directive on businesses

Opportunities

  • Long-term energy cost reduction with efficiency.

  • Better return on real estate assets thanks to improved energy performance.

  • Direct contribution to the fight against climate change.

Challenges

  • Initial investment required to modernise buildings.

  • Regulatory complexity to be integrated into real estate and energy strategies.

Link with French regulations

In France, the EPBD is implemented through:

  • The Tertiary Decree, which sets energy consumption reduction targets.

  • The BACS Decree, which sets requirements for building automation.
