Joint letter supporting safety provisions
The European Fire Safety Alliance, together with twelve other organizations focussed on improving the safety of European citizens, has sent a joint letter calling on the European institutions to include the fire, electrical, gas and CO safety provisions proposed by the European Parliament in the final text of the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).
The revision of the EPBD is an unmissable opportunity to consider building renovation in a holistic way, with the safety of EU citizens at its heart. The European Parliament’s report recognizes the importance of fire, electrical and gas safety in the EPBD revision, by increasing energy efficiency while also improving safety and health of people, making the EU building stock more resilient and sustainable for the future.
