EPBD Directive — Timeline & Stranding Risk
The European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD recast 2024) sets a decarbonisation timeline for the building stock. Select your property's energy class to see the deadlines that apply and assess your stranding risk.
Stranding risk — Class F
High risk
Classes E-F: directly affected by the 2030-2033 reduction targets. Risk of non-compliance and significant discount.
- Start a deep energy renovation promptly
- Target at least class C, ideally B or A
- Request a full energy audit
- Maximise Klimabonus subsidies (higher rates for bigger class jumps)
- Anticipate the fossil boiler ban (2040)
Significant discount. By 2033, -10 to -18% without renovation.
EPBD Timeline — Key Milestones
Milestones in red affect class F
EPBD directive transposition
Affects youDeadline: 29 May 2026. Each member state must transpose the directive into national law.
New public buildings → zero emission
All new public buildings must be zero-emission from 2028.
16% reduction — worst performing residential
16% reduction in primary energy consumption of the worst performing residential buildings.
26% reduction — worst performing residential
Affects you26% reduction in primary energy consumption. Classes E-I must have undergone significant renovations.
All new buildings → zero emission
Zero-emission requirement for all new buildings (public and private).
End of fossil boilers
Affects youTotal ban on fossil fuel boilers (gas, oil).
Zero-emission building stock
Affects youTarget: the entire European building stock reaches net zero emissions.
Discount projection — Class F
Brown discount projection if no renovation is undertaken.

Plan your renovation
Estimate the cost, subsidies (Klimabonus, Klimaprêt) and return on investment of an energy renovation.
