This summary is based on AAB's comprehensive analysis of European legislation on indoor climate and air quality – specifically EPBD 2024/1275 and Air Quality Directive 2024/2881, Article 28

In 2024, the European Union carried out a comprehensive revision of the regulatory framework for the built environment and atmospheric air quality. This process has resulted in two landmark legal acts: Directive (EU) 2024/1275 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the energy performance of buildings (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, hereinafter EPBD) and Directive (EU) 2024/2881 on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe (hereinafter the Air Quality Directive). 

Together, these directives mark a fundamental shift from a predominantly theoretical approach to building operation and environmental protection towards an explicitly data-driven reality, where continuous documentation, technical monitoring, and legal accountability are the central focus. For building owners, managers, and industrial operators, this means a massive expansion of technical infrastructure requirements, including the installation of data loggers and building automation and control systems (BACS), as well as a significant tightening of the legal risks associated with non-compliance.
