The session will feature a key-note introduction by the Commissionner for Energy, Kadri Simson, setting the scene from the Renovation Wave and the broader policy context perspective.

The event will continue with a round table to discuss some of the main elements of the revision of the EPBD: new buildings, existing buildings and information tools. For each topic, the Commission will present the main provisions, which will then be discussed with the participants, allowing for comments, feedback and to highlight the view from the different building sectors.
