Construction and renovation projects requiring a town planning permit or notification must meet a number of requirements laid out in the EU's Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), such as a maximum insulation level (K-level), maximum energy level (E-level), minimum share of renewable energy, and indoor climate quality (adequate ventilation, heating etc.).

The European Regional Development Funds (ERDF) are available to European regions and aim to bridge the gaps between European regions. Interreg programmes target cooperation between different regions. Both ERDF Flanders and ERFD Interreg programmes are centralised along several axes. Within some of those axes, specific SME investment in resource efficiency can be subsidised. For instance, within one of the axis of ERDF Flanders, there is a specific target on increasing SME energy efficiency, including company buildings and production processes.
