Study on energy performance of buildings (IP/A/ITRE/FWC/2006 -087/lot 4/C1/SC4)

The study aims to provide input into ongoing discussions on the recasting of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). It focuses on the current status of implementation of the EPBD, the impacts of the Directive, and looks at a number best practise lessons. The study also analyses a number of remaining key issues, linkages to other policies, and relates this to the recast of the EPBD as proposed by the Commission. The study gives a number of recommendations for future development.
