Join us for the upcoming webinar “The decarbonisation of buildings: Turning ambition into action,” organised by EPEE and scheduled for 20th of March from 10:00 to 12:00 CET.

This webinar will bring together a panel of experts to discuss the framework and implementation of the European Performance of Buildings Directive. It will be divided into two parts: the first will focus on the necessary framework for decarbonising buildings, while the second will address national and local implementation challenges and solutions.
