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

Written by Asha Ramachandran | Jul 21, 2025 8:51:02 AM

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.
