What part can the property sector play in the implementation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (Directive 2010/31/U) adopted by the EU in May 2010? Economic slowdown has resulted in 'sensible' pursuit of green building ideals. Both individual European countries and pan-European bodies have devised environmental performance indicators that allow occupiers and investors to make sustainable choices. European development activity has risen slightly recently but completions are few as lenders remain cautious in providing finance for speculative schemes. Smart meters seen as valuable means of keeping up with latest energy efficiency demands.
