WeForming reposted this
The European Union can change regulation to allow its buildings to be smarter: roll out minimum energy performance standards, target demand-side flexibility measures and make electricity cheaper. EU Member States also can improve their frameworks, roll out smart meters and rebalance electricity prices to encourage development of smart buildings. These are crucial steps to achieving net zero. I go into more detail in my op-ed for WeForming. https://lnkd.in/ee-Twk9R
Policy roadblocks: how regulation is holding back Europe’s transition to net-zero buildings

Buildings can no longer just consume #energy; they must also produce it, adding flexibility to the energy systems. 📰 In our latest opinion article, Duncan Gibb, Senior Advisor at 🇧🇪Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP), examines the regulatory barriers limiting Europe’s transition to net-zero buildings and discusses EU directives and national policies. ⚡️ At WeForming, we are dedicated to developing regulatory, technical, societal, and business pathways to accelerate the adoption of Intelligent Grid-Forming Buildings (#iGFBs).
