Designing for EPBD: Whole-life carbon disclosure & limits in construction projects

About the webinar

The recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) makes whole-life carbon assessment mandatory for new buildings in the EU — starting with large buildings in 2028, and all buildings by 2030. This webinar explains what the regulation requires, including disclosure rules, carbon targets, and timelines — with practical examples for teams delivering projects.

What does the webinar cover?

• What the recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires by 2028 and 2030
• Which building types and sizes must comply, and when
• How whole-life carbon (GWP) must be disclosed, calculated, and limited
• What examples reveal about carbon limit enforcement in practice
• How automation and digital tools are critical to meeting demand and reducing cost
• Why design — not just materials — will have to change to meet new targets
