In this webinar, Buildings Performance Institute Europe (BPIE) presents its new flagship publication, ‘Delivering the EPBD—A guide towards better, affordable and more resilient buildings for all in Europe’.

This practical, comprehensive guide offers clarity and direction for national and local authorities, industry, finance, and civil society for Energy Performance of Buildings (EPBD) implementation. It features deep-dive analyses of the most high-impact provisions, actionable recommendations, and dozens of real-world good practices. Designed to make the EPBD work for people, buildings, and the climate, the guide simplifies the transposition process, supports Member States in delivering on their obligations, and empowers all actors to drive implementation – starting now.

With just one year to go until the EPBD transposition deadline (29 May 2026), this is a timely moment to take stock, share insights, and ensure that the next twelve months deliver robust implementation and the right framework conditions for real progress on the ground. 

The webinar will feature:
