Delivering the EPBD: Smart Buildings

Описание: This episode was the sixth webinar in our series on Efficient Buildings Europe’s Implementation Guide and explored the role of Smart Buildings!

We explored how Smart Buildings and Smart Construction practices are transforming the way buildings are designed, operated, and regulated across Europe.

Bringing together perspectives from the European Commission, industry leaders, and policy experts, the discussion examined how digital solutions, lighting innovation, building automation, and thermal comfort are driving energy efficiency, performance, and user comfort. We also looked at how policy frameworks such as the EPBD and national initiatives like the French BACS decree are shaping implementation on the ground, supported by real-world case studies and practical insights.

Rewatch the episode to discover how smart buildings are accelerating the transition toward more intelligent, energy-efficient, and people-centred buildings.
