The EU's ambitious Repower project is bringing significant changes to energy solutions for buildings. The background is the EU's goal of energy self-sufficiency, which is being implemented in practice with the update of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). What does this mean for property owners and builders?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new directive introduces clear time limits for the deployment of solar energy: Public buildings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Private non-residential buildings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Even though the deadlines seem far away, there are several reasons to be a pioneer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Profitability at its peak<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Avoid traffic jams<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The directive takes into account situations where the installation of solar panels does not make sense:<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, these exceptions only apply to a small part of the building stock \u2013
