🔌 From EU building rules to real renovation: where vreed comes in

From 2026 onwards, the EU’s revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) turns decarbonisation from “nice to have” into a concrete requirement for Europe’s building stock.The directive accelerates three big shifts:

1️⃣ A solar rollout on new and many existing public and non-residential buildings, with milestones from 2026–2031 for rooftop and façade PV where it is technically and economically feasible.

2️⃣ A push towards zero-emission buildings, with stricter minimum performance standards and renovation triggers tied to major works and permits.

3️⃣ A much stronger link between financing and energy performance, as banks and public programmes increasingly require reliable data on building efficiency and renovation roadmaps.This is exactly where vreed.
