The 2002/91/EC Directive (Energy Performance Building Directive – EPBD (1)), published by the European Commission and recast in the 2010/31/EU (2), requires European countries to meet certain minimum energy requirements in buildings and their systems. Each Member state is obliged to incorporate the Directive as national law(s), establishing the necessary conditions and procedures at a national level (3). In the present document a compilation of energy efficiency standards for buildings across Europe has been made, analyzing the consequences and implications of the different transposition models of the EPBD adopted by each country. Furthermore, the methodologies most widely used for determining the energy efficiency of buildings, legal gaps and the possibilities for improvement in areas such as professional accreditations or financial incentives are also described.
