Content

It was already realised when the Energy Directive came into force that the implementation schedule would be difficult to keep. It has also been seen that a great number of countries have been forced to use all available methods and excuses to postpone introduction. The countries mentioned in this book are: Sweden, Denmark, UK, Czech Republic and Austria.

Topics include:

  • Why do we need the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive?
  • How many other directives are there?
  • To which types of buildings does the EPBD apply?
  • Energy certification of buildings
  • What are you allowed to do yourself?
  • How long have you got?
  • Who is in charge?
  • What happens if you don't comply?
  • The EPBD — More on the way

The main reason why the EPBD (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive) came about was because there was a pressing need for formal guidelines to convince us that we needed to manage energy in a more responsible way.
