We're revising the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. Before we finalise, we want one specific thing from professionals like you: where your operational reality diverges from our modelling.

In the last revision cycle we heard three reservations from facilities managers, building owners and renovation specialists:

1️⃣ The 2030 deep-renovation targets assume tenant cooperation that, in mixed-tenure portfolios, is rarely achievable in one cycle.
2️⃣ Sub-metering obligations interact badly with district-heating contracts in some Member States.
3️⃣ The post-retrofit "performance gap" (modelled vs measured kWh) is consistently underestimated in the impact assessment.

If you've worked on a real building, you have evidence we don't have. We've kept the structured briefing short (8 minutes to read, 5 to respond).

Your answers will be cross-referenced with input from tenants reached by post and with the expert track — same synthesis. #EPBD #BuildingsDecarbonisation #EUasksyou
