Concerted Action EPBD V

Project description

DEENESFRITPL

Efficient application of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive

One of the most crucial sectors for achieving the EU’s energy and environmental goals is the building sector. To boost the energy performance of buildings, the EU has established a legislative framework to promote policies that will help achieve a highly energy-efficient and decarbonised building stock by 2050. In this context, the EU-funded CAV_EPBD project will foster exchange of information and experience among EU Member States with regard to the implementation of EU legislation. Specifically, it will promote good practice and create favourable conditions for faster convergence of national procedures on issues related to the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). The project will propose a harmonised approach, improved implementation and application of the EPBD in all countries involved.

Objective

Concerted Action EPBD V aim to support the implementation of the Energy Performance in Buildings Directive through exchange of information and experience among Member States and other participating countries (Norway) with regards to the implementation of the specific European Union legislation and policy on the energy performance of buildings, and in particular with regards to the transposition and implementation of the re-cast of the EPBD (DIRECTIVE 2010/31/EU) and the on-going revision of this directive.

The specific objectives are to:
1. Enhance and structure sharing of information and experience from national implementation and promote good practice in activities required of Member States for implementation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).
2. Create favourable conditions for faster convergence of national procedures on EPBD-related matters.
3. Develop a direct link with the other two buildings-related Concerted Actions established within the IEE programme: the CA-RES, focussing on transposition and implementation of the Renewable Energy Systems Directive (DIRECTIVE 2009/28/EC); and the CA-EED, focusing on transposition and implementation of the Energy Efficiency Directive (DIRECTIVE 2012/27/EU), where National Energy Plans include initiatives towards building energy efficiency.
4. Supplement the work of the Article 26 Committee and possible ad-hoc groups on CEN (European Committee for Standardization) standards and certification exercises.
5. Establish a dialogue with the CEN in the implementation of 2nd generation standards to support the implementation of the recast EPBD and its revision.
6. Support for European Member States and Norway to use National Energy Plans to report progress on the EPBD implementation.

The CAV_EPBD will strive to result in a more harmonized approach, improved implementation and actual application of the EPBD in all the countries involved, as well as helping to disseminate best practices between the countries.
