nZEB Ready
Summary (English):
To promote the improvement of the energy performance of buildings, the EU’s Energy Performance of Buildings Directive requires all new buildings to be nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB). However, the large-scale uptake of nZEB construction of new buildings and renovation towards nZEB levels is a challenge. Many EU Member States have not yet fully embraced nZEB due to the high costs and the skills gaps experienced by the building sector. The EU-funded nZEB Ready project focusses to increase the market readiness for an effective nZEB implementation. It addresses the main barriers in Bulgaria, Croatia, Portugal, Poland and Romania and supports skills enhancement with a mutual recognition training and certification scheme. The project also raises awareness about the nZEB benefits.
