* The European Parliament voted last week in favour of updated renovation rules for buildings. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) is one of the final parts of the EU’s legislative push to green its energy consumption and cut emissions – the Fit for 55 package – and is now close to crossing the finish line.* FORESIGHT’s Cities and Buildings editor, Sean Carroll, joins The Jolt to explain what the EPBD is about, why one final hurdle might be bigger than previously expected and what national governments will have to do once it is signed into law.*Despite what you may have heard, there aren’t going to be solar panels on the Colosseum.
