EU parliament agrees to mandatory performance standards
If left to EU elected officials, requirements for energy performances across the European housing sector needs tightening towards 2030.
European Parliament votes in favor of reforming the so-called building directive which sets the framework for energy performances across the Union’s buildings.
According to EU media Euractiv, a yet undisclosed document states that all buildings owned by public bodies are to achieve at least performance class E from 2027 and class D from 2030 while lawmakers aim for class E for residential buildings by 2030 and class D from 2033.
Revision of the building directive, originally put forth by the EU Commission in 2021, is to pass onto so-called trilogue negotiations between the Commission, Council and Parliament before amendment is brokered.
