EPBD unpacked - Why indoor climate and energy efficiency must be addressed together
Happening online | 20 November 2025 | 15:00-16:00 (CET)
Welcome to Swegon Air Academy's webinar, where one of the most critical shifts in European building policy will be highlighted: the integration of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) into the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).
For decades, focus has been on making buildings energy-efficient; however, buildings must also support the health, comfort and productivity of the people inside. It must be ensured that the indoor environment is inseparably linked to energy efficiency – for every person and in all buildings.
In this webinar:
- It will be explained what the new EPBD means, and why indoor climate and energy performance must be addressed together.
- Experts will share their insights on EPBD legislation updates, the importance of the indoor environment in EPBD, the HVAC industry's reflections and challenges at the national level, followed by a panel debate.
- It will be discussed how the EPBD recast is reshaping the way the industry must think about buildings, moving from an energy-efficiency focus, to understanding that they are indoor environments where people live, work and thrive.
Join in and listen to Pawel Wargocki from the Technical University of Denmark, Andrei Vladimir Lițiu from EPB/REHVA, Andreas Martinsson Björkdahl from Svensk Ventilation in Sweden and Åsa Norén Lundh from Swegon. Mikael Börjesson from Swegon will be moderating.
This session is part of the webinar series on EPBD and IEQ, hosted by Swegon Air Academy and free to attend online.
