“In compliance with Directive 2010/31 / EU on the energy performance of buildings (EPBD), as from 31 December 2018 all new buildings occupied and owned by public authorities have to be Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB). This requirement applies to all buildings from December 31, 2020.

This requirement leads to a major paradigm shift in construction and requires a different way to address the  process of  building design, constituting a major challenge for the industry and its professionals.”
