REHVA is happy to invite you to attend the newest EPB Center Webinar:
The Decarbonisation of Buildings: Turning Ambition into Action
20 March 10-12 a.m. CET
As we embrace the new dawn of the EU's Green Deal, the recent advancements in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) mark a critical milestone in our journey towards decarbonizing our energy systems.
The road from policy to implementation is filled with challenges that require our collective attention and action. Join us for a crucial webinar hosted by European Partnership for Energy and the Environment (EPEE), where we will delve into the framework and the practical steps necessary for implementing the EPBD effectively across the Member States.
