Session 2 – Tracking implementation and enabling delivery: evidence, observatories and policy support

On 13 May 2026, EU-funded initiatives will come together for the event “Supporting EPBD implementation: practical solutions developed by EU-funded initiatives”, co-organised with DG ENER Unit B3.

The event will take place at the Charlemagne Building, European Commission, Brussels, with online participation also available.

As part of the programme, Session 2 will focus on a key question: how can evidence, observatories and policy-support tools help Member States move from EPBD requirements to concrete implementation?

Supporting Member States with better evidence

The implementation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires reliable data, clear monitoring tools and practical support for national authorities. Session 2 will explore how EU-funded initiatives can contribute to this process by providing knowledge, methods and solutions that support decision-making.

The discussion will highlight the role of building stock data, observatories, and policy-support frameworks in helping Member States track progress, identify gaps and better understand the needs of their building sectors.

Session 2 will also address how evidence can be translated into action. Beyond collecting data, the challenge is to make information usable for policy design, implementation and evaluation.

By bringing together EU-funded initiatives, stakeholders and national voices, this session will provide space to discuss practical approaches that can support the delivery of EPBD objectives across Europe.

Skills2Decarb: Soft Skills to Drive the Twin Transition

Decarbonisation, the circular economy, and digitalisation represent the most pressing challenges for construction professionals today. The green and digital twin transition has exposed a significant skills gap that affects both those who design and build, and those who provide training. This gap is not merely technical: there is a critical need for the ability to observe challenges from diverse perspectives, collaborate effectively across the value chain, and make decisions under uncertainty. In Skills2Decarb, we address this need through a comprehensive

Skills2Decarb: soft skills per guidare il cambiamento

Decarbonizzazione, economia circolare e digitalizzazione sono le sfide più cruciali e immediate per i professionisti dell’edilizia. La doppia transizione green e digitale mette in evidenza un divario di competenze che riguarda sia chi progetta e costruisce sia chi forma. Non è solo un gap tecnico: servono anche la capacità di osservare le criticità da prospettive diverse, di lavorare con altri attori e di decidere in condizioni di incertezza. In Skills2Decarb la risposta a questo bisogno si costruisce attraverso un percorso
