EPBD Directive: How to Anticipate Mandatory LCA in Europe (Webinar Replay)

The European construction sector is reaching a major regulatory milestone. With the implementation of the recast EPBD (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive), conducting a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is officially becoming the new compliance standard for new buildings across the EU.

To help real estate and construction professionals navigate this transition smoothly, Vizcab recently hosted an exclusive 45-minute international webinar.

Whether you missed the live session or want to share the insights with your team, the full replay is now available.

What We Covered in This Session

Led by Vizcab's compliance and sustainability experts, this practical session was designed to cut through the regulatory noise and provide actionable insights:

  • The EPBD Roadmap: A clear breakdown of the directive’s core philosophy, key enforcement milestones, and upcoming carbon reporting deadlines.
  • Lessons from the French "Laboratory": As the first European market to fully enforce mandatory building LCA through its strict national regulations, France offers invaluable feedback. We shared how the market adapted, what worked, and how day-to-day industry workflows evolved positively.
  • Removing the Financial Friction: Transitioning to data-driven compliance shouldn't be a financial burden. We introduced our vision for the European market and explained how Vizcab is opening up access to carbon tools at zero software cost.
