La reforma de la Directiva de Eficiencia Energética de los Edificios (EPBD) de la UE, que entrará en vigor en 2026, obligará a los nuevos edificios no residenciales a integrar tecnologías solares y a todos los edificios residenciales nuevos a contar con paneles solares para 2029, con el objetivo de mejorar la eficiencia energética y reducir las emisiones de CO2 en el sector de la construcción. #SolarEnergy #EnergyEfficiency #SustainableBuilding
