CA EPBD 6 is organised around nine Central Teams, each comprising of a Central Team Manager and a Central Team Assistant. The Central Teams each address important topics in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, facilitating sessions, discussions and information exchange to support the member states in their implementation of the directive.
The topics chosen for CA EPBD 6 were originally based on the amended directive from 2018 but have since been adapted to the newly revised EPBD (recast) from April 2024.
