Delivering the EPBD: Minimum Energy Performance Standards
Join Efficient Buildings Europe for the second appointment of their webinar series revolving around the Implementation Guide. This episode will deep-dive into the Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS), with experts from various sectors offering their insights on the topic.
Addressing the worst performing buildings in priority, MEPS aim to improve the energy efficiency of existing buildings in the EU. By driving improvements across the EU, these standards not only boost overall energy efficiency but also unlock many opportunities— such as sparking investments in renovations, expanding production capacity, and empowering companies to enhance their training programs.
Don’t miss this chance to explore the real-world impact of MEPS and how they are shaping the future of efficient buildings!
