Life cycle Global Warming Potential in the Energy Performance in Buildings Directive
EPBD Factsheet
This factsheet is a guide to measures outlined in the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD, EU/2024/1275), to support Member States and the construction sector in calculating, and reducing, life cycle Global Warming Potential (GWP) of European buildings.
In this publication, we will give an overview of these measures, set out how these can be actioned as an easy-tofollow timeline of action points and provide a checklist of conditions that need to be met.
