Council of the European Union and European Parliament 24 April 2024, Directive (EU) 2024/1275 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 April 2024 on the energy performance of buildings (recast) (Text with EEA relevance)

Also known as

Directive (EU) 2024/1275 aims to enhance the energy performance of buildings within the European Union, promoting a transition towards zero-emission buildings by 2030 for new constructions and by 2050 for existing ones. Key provisions include setting minimum energy performance standards, phasing out fossil fuel heating systems, and encouraging the use of renewable energy sources, while ensuring that measures account for local conditions and do not compromise safety or accessibility. The directive mandates Member States to develop national renovation plans that align with these goals, facilitating substantial energy savings and greenhouse gas emission reductions across the building sector.AI
