The European Parliament has approved a law requiring member states to deploy solar installations on buildings and renovate them to improve their energy efficiency.
The proposed revision of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) includes several targets to reduce emissions. For example, member states of the EU will need to deploy solar installations progressively in public and non-residential buildings and all new residential buildings by 2030, when applicable.
All new buildings should be zero-emission by 2030, while new buildings occupied or owned by public authorities should be zero-emission by 2028.
The law also requires member states of the EU to take into account the lifecycle global warming potential of a building, including the production and disposal of the construction products used to build it.
