The European Parliament has voted for plans to make the EU's building sector climate neutral by 2050.
It says all new buildings should have zero-emissions from 2028.
MEPs were voting on the proposed revision of the EU's Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.
The measures include increasing the rate of renovations of energy-inefficient buildings and improving information-sharing on energy performance.
Fianna Fail MEP Billy Kelleher outlines the benefits of the measures proposed:
Plans to make the EU’s building sector carbon-neutral by 2050, will help tackle the root causes of energy poverty and create jobs and funding for renovations.
That’s according to Green Party MEP Ciarán Cuffe.
