Study: Weak rules put building efficiency off track

The report by the Buildings Performance Institute Europe says that without further guidance, EU countries may mismanage their energy efficiency commitments and risk missing their energy savings' target.

The report aims to provide guidance for member states to meet the EU’s rules on implementing “cost-optimal” methodology to take into account the lifetime costs of buildings under the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).
