Partners in REDESIGN project Successfully Developed General Guiding Framework for MEPS Introduction

Partners in REDESIGN project developed General Guiding Framework for the Introduction of Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS). This achievement marks an important step in supporting CEE countries – Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia,but also other member states, in the consistent design and implementation of MEPS, with a strong focus on public buildings.

The framework outlines the key components needed for effective MEPS implementation, including country-readiness assessments, design principles, pathways for implementation, as well as monitoring and evaluation. Developed as a roadmap, it provides guidance from initial concept to full-scale adoption, ensuring coherence, accountability, and measurable impact across all stages.

General guiding framework will serve as a basis for engaging national decision-makers in Bulgaria, Romania and Croatia in shaping the country-tailored MEPS frameworks which will facilitate drafting process of the NBRPs to be submitted to the EC by the end of this year.

At a time when existing renovation policies are insufficient to deliver the scale and depth of improvements needed, MEPS represent a crucial instrument to accelerate building renovations. By setting minimum performance thresholds and embedding them within a supportive policy environment, MEPS can place the EU firmly on the path to decarbonisation while also unlocking significant economic and social benefits.

This framework provides a structured and coherent approach for Member States, paving the way for effective MEPS implementation and stronger renovation outcomes.
