• EPBD 2024 Roadmap for Irish Buildings • Prepare your Buildings, Teams and Budgets for Next Generation of Energy Performance Standards • Compliance – Cost Saving – Carbon Reduction

The revised EPBD 2024 Directive will reshape how buildings across Ireland are managed, maintained, upgraded and valued. The revised directive represents one of the most significant changes to building performance, energy management and decarbonisation policy across Europe in Decades. For Ireland the implications will affect how buildings are designed, maintained, operated, refurbished and valued for years to come. This programme is designed specifically for Irish professionals responsible for buildings, facilities, estates, maintenance, construction and asset management. The course translates complex European legislation into clear, practical guidance relevant to Irish building stock, operational teams, compliance obligations and investment planning.

Participants will gain an understanding of what EPBD 2024 means for existing buildings, important timelines, future developments, BER ratings, retrofit obligations, HVAC systems, energy efficiency planning and long-term building strategies within the Irish Context.

The programme combines regulation, operational insight and commercial realities, helping organisations prepare for changing compliance requirements while identifying opportunities for energy savings, improved asset value and operational resilience.
