| GREEN-IT aims to introduce energy labelling in the European building construction products sector and accelerate the EU market transformation towards regulated Energy Performance of Buildings and improved “eco-designed” Energy-Using Products. Currently only environmental labelling (for building products) is applied in some EU countries and in different ways. The project aims to pilot implement energy labelling of EU manufactured and marketed building products with customised approaches according to each participating country’s needs. The EU industry is involved in the project with voluntary mechanisms and product labelling is used as a mean to promote best practice in construction products manufacturing and motivate the sector to further compliance with the new EPBD. The pilot label is primarily based on thermal performance criteria and building operational energy within the EPBD needs; EU building products will be assessed, benchmarked and further labelled based on their contribution to the overall building performance. However, the customisation of the labelling criteria and requirements foreseen, to suit the actual market and industry demand of every country aims at bringing together the different practices and bridging the diversity that characterises product labelling procedures in the EU.
