Regulatory uncertainty in Europe highlights persistent friction between ambition and delivery. Delays to the EUâs deforestation regulations continue to complicate the sourcing of renewable building materials such as certified timber and biomass. These materials are central to eco-design for buildings and life cycle cost evaluation within green construction projects seeking BREEAM or BREEAM v7 certification. The administrative lag is raising concerns about the traceability of products covered by environmental product declarations (EPDs) and the coherence of sustainability benchmark systems across borders.
