Recital 6
Recital 6
(6) The Union is committed to developing a secure, competitive and decarbonised energy system by 205012 . To meet this goal, Member States and investors need milestones to ensure that buildings are decarbonised by 2050. In order to ensure this decarbonised building stock by 2050, Member States should seek a cost-efficient equilibrium between decarbonising energy supplies and reducing to maximum final energy consumption, and identify the intermediary steps to achieving the mid- term (2030) and long-term (2050) objectives. __________________ 12 Communication on an Energy roadmap 2050, (COM(2011) 885 final).

(7a) To facilitate the cost-effective achievement of the Union's climate and energy goals as well as cost-efficient renovations in buildings, national long- term renovation strategies should integrate considerations for reducing air pollution and improvements to health and indoor climate, including by combining renovation with the removal of asbestos and other harmful substances, thus preventing the illegal removal of harmful substances, and facilitating compliance with existing legislative acts such as Directive 2009/148/EC.

Recital 8
Recital 8
(8) The agendas of the Digital Single Market and the Energy Union should be aligned and serve common goals. The digitalisation of the energy system is quickly changing the energy landscape, from the integration of renewables to smart grids and smart-ready buildings. This offers new opportunities for energy savings, notably by providing consumers with more accurate information about their consumption patterns, and empowering them to optimise their energy use, and by enabling the system operator to better manage the grid. In order to digitise the building sector, and benefit from these opportunities, targeted incentives should be provided to promote smart-ready systems and digital solutions in the built environment.
