Germany’s bold policy roadmap could slash building emissions by 2030
Germany faces a key moment in its building sector as the EU’s Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) pushes for sweeping changes. The transition offers a chance to boost the economy and cut emissions, even amid current stagnation. A new policy brief from the Building Transition Alliance outlines how the country can turn these plans into action by 2030.
The Building Transition Alliance, led by the German Energy Agency (dena), has released its 2025 policy brief. It examines the EU’s building policies and provides clear steps for Germany to adopt the EPBD into national law. The recommendations focus on stricter rules to improve energy efficiency and speed up decarbonisation.
The policy brief sets out a roadmap for Germany to transform its building sector. Stricter regulations, financial incentives, and stakeholder cooperation could drive progress toward near-zero emissions by 2030. If implemented, these changes would support both economic recovery and climate action.
