EU lawmakers forged a long-awaited compromise on the recast buildings directive on the 17 November.

The recast will require the public sector to take the lead by owning and renting buildings with "nearly zero" energy standards by the end of 2018, two years in advance of the private sector.

Moreover, member states were tasked to promote the conversion of existing buildings to comply with the standard.
