A very encouraging draft #EPBD report from @CiaranCuffe:
🟢Increases ambition of MEPS
🟢Brings forward ZEB deadline for new buildings to 2025
🟢WLC calculation brought to 2027 for new buildings and 2030 for all buildings issued EPCs

#BuildingLife
WorldGBC's feedback to the recast EPBD supports the inclusion of:
✅MEPS
✅WLC reporting
✅Building Renovation Passports
✅ZEBs
However the level of ambition must be raised dramatically to meet the goals of the #EUGreenDeal

Fantastic work from the @WorldGBC_Europe team and the European GBCs involved in Level(s) - the European Framework for Sustainable Buildings. Exciting to see this alongside the #RenovationWave + #EUGreenDeal. EU once again leading the way for others to follow. #BuildCircular
After reading the government's updated guidance to construction firms this week, I felt duty bound to write to @AlokSharma_RDG setting out the many serious safety concerns raised by CN readers. #CovidSafetyFirst https://t.co/NHT1cBDYlB
Before criticising any #construction worker today. Stop✋. Read this because:
🚫Coronavirus cases onsite are being kept secret.
🚫Safety concerns have been ignored.
🚫Builders with at risk partners must work or won’t be paid.
🚫The 2m rule is impossible.
