Brussels, March 13th This Tuesday, the European Parliament endorsed the trilogue agreement on the revision of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). This marks a major milestone towards the decarbonisation of the European building stock.
GD4S welcomes this revised legislation, which endorses the “fabric first” principle which prioritizes improving the thermal performance of building envelope before investing in the technical system to avoid overengineering costs, creates a solid framework for ensuring a progressive transition away from fossil fuel-based heating systems, while leaving no consumers without a reliable and affordable heating solution.
