The building energy transition in Luxembourg
Luxembourg has committed to an ambitious energy transition of its building stock. The building sector represents about 35% of national energy consumption. More than 60% of homes are rated D or below.
The energy passport: classes A to I
The EPC rates buildings from A (very efficient) to I (energy sieve). A class A property sells at 15-30% premium over comparable G-I class.
The EPBD directive and Luxembourg deadlines
The EU EPBD recast (2024/1275) requires: class E minimum by 2030, class D by 2033, zero-emission by 2050. Luxembourg must renovate 40,000+ homes.
Energy renovation aids: Klimabonus 2026
Klimabonus offers: insulation EUR 30-60/m2, renewable heating EUR 2,500-8,000, PV EUR 200-500/kWp. Cumulative with municipal premiums.
