Green Homes Directive: The Future of Real Estate Starts with Residential Buildings

EPBD IV speeds up the energy transition: RINA Prime supports condominiums in meeting the new requirements
The European Union has set ambitious targets to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions across the real estate sector. By 2030, all residential buildings must meet minimum energy performance standards, paving the way toward climate neutrality by 2050.
The new EPBD IV Directive marks a turning point for Italy’s real estate market, where over 75% of buildings are currently energy inefficient (Source: ENEA).
For property managers, owners and investors, this shift presents a complex yet necessary challenge. Ensuring compliance is essential to avoid property devaluation, reduce energy bills—which have risen by 40% over the past five years (Source: ARERA)—and stay aligned with evolving market expectations.
Condominio Next, developed by RINA Prime Value Services, is a structured model designed to guide residential buildings through this transition. Our integrated, reliable approach enables stakeholders to:
- Assess building conditions and define effective upgrade strategies
- Design and deliver energy efficiency and safety interventions
- Manage access to incentives and financing opportunities
- Coordinate the entire process with transparency, oversight and quality control
The directive also promotes the adoption of smart technologies for energy monitoring and consumption management. In this context, digitalization becomes a key driver of a more efficient, connected and sustainable built environment.
Complying with the new regulatory framework is not just a legal requirement—it’s a strategic opportunity to protect and enhance real estate value.
