Prepare for the European EPBD Directive: New Fire Risks Arising from Building Electrification and Renovation
Electrification, Sustainability and Safety: The New Challenge in Building Construction
The electrification of the building stock and the new EPBD (EU/2024/1275) European Directive are accelerating an unprecedented transformation. Sustainable materials, industrialised solutions, building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), energy storage systems and electric micromobility are increasing efficiency, but they are also introducing new fire risk scenarios that the sector has yet to assess in a consistent manner.
This gap between innovation and safety calls for advanced criteria, comprehensive methodologies and robust experimental data.
To address this challenge, TECNALIA’s Fire Engineering team is organising a leading technical conference aimed at providing rigorous knowledge, real-life case studies and practical tools applicable to the buildings we are already designing and renovating.
