READINESS CHECK
How ready is your portfolio?
Rate your current state per article, 1 to 5. The gauges show how ready you are for the 2026, 2028 and 2030 duties. Self-assessment, two minutes, no email required.
Art. 9 · MEPS
MEPS, minimum energy performance standards: the worst-performing buildings upgrade first; non-residential stock must clear the worst-16% threshold by 2030.

Answer all 8 articles to unlock your results
1 · No data: no meters or records for this duty2 · Manual: spreadsheets, PDFs and paper certificates3 · Instrumented: metered and connected, partial coverage4 · Managed: monitored, with owners and a duty calendar5 · Automated: continuous, audit-ready evidence
Why only eight articles? These carry the dated duties a building owner acts on directly. The remaining articles of Directive (EU) 2024/1275 mostly bind member states (national plans, databases, financing frameworks); chatEPBD encodes those in the country rule packs rather than in this self-check.
