Joint statement on zero-emission building definition in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)
In order to be a meaningful and practically applicable legislation, the EPBD must recognise the importance of grid-delivered decarbonised energy.
Eurelectric, WindEurope, the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA), smartEn, E.DSO and Avere, representing a wide coalition of industry groups, strongly emphasise the need for acknowledging carbon-free energy delivered through the electricity grid as a fully compliant source of power for zero-emission buildings (ZEB) in the revision of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).
