Amendment 310 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 8 a (new)
(8 a) That buildings are responsible for greenhouse gas emissions before their operational lifetime is the result of the upfront embedded carbon to be found within all building materials. An increase in the use of sustainably and locally sourced nature-based building materials, in keeping with the principles of the New European Bauhaus Initiative, has the potential to substitute for more carbon intensive materials and to store carbon in the built environment via the use of wood- based materials.

Amendment 321 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 11
(11) Measures to improve further the energy performance of buildings should take into account climatic conditions, including adaptation to climate change, local conditions as well as indoor climate environment and cost-effectiveness. Those measures should not affect other requirements concerning buildings such as accessibility , fire safety, electrical and seismic safety and the intended use of the building.

Amendment 343 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 15 a (new)
(15 a) Efficient reuse of waste heat from domestic hot water systems represents major energy saving opportunity and, in this sense, this potential should be considered. Every day, more than 22 million cubic meters of hot water are consumed by European homes. Hot water preparation is the main source of energy consumption for new buildings, and vast majority of this heat ends up in sewers and is wasted. Considering that up to 80 percent of hot water is used in showers, harvesting heat from shower drains in buildings could be a simple and cost- effective way to save around 40 percent of final energy consumption and related CO2 emissions of domestic hot water production.

Amendment 353 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 20
(20) Different options are available to cover the energy needs of an efficient building by energy from renewable sources: on-site renewables such as solar thermal, solar photovoltaics, heat pumps and biomass, renewable energy provided by renewable energy communities or citizen energy communities, and efficient district heating and cooling based on renewables or waste heat, high efficiency cogeneration, all types of energy storage, demand-side flexibility and self-consumption, as well as renewable energy supplied through energy grids and networks, including renewable electricity and gasses.

Amendment 361 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 21
(21) The necessary decarbonisation of the Union building stock requires energy renovation at a large scale: almost 75% of that building stock is inefficient according to current building standards, and 85-95% of the buildings that exist today will still be standing in 2050. However, the weighted annual energy renovation rate is persistently low at around 1%. At the current pace, the decarbonisation of the building sector would require centuries. Triggering and supporting building renovation, including a shift towards emission-free heating systems, is therefore a key goal of this Directivencluding measures in line with “energy efficiency first” principle at system level, is therefore a key goal of this Directive. This includes dealing with the seasonality of heating demand, which in many Member States is the main part of the energy system peak demand.

Amendment 383 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 29
(29) To achieve a highly energy efficient and decarbonised building stock and the transformation of existing buildings into zero-emission buildings by 2050, Member States should establish national building renovation plans, which replace the long- term renovation strategies and become an even stronger, fully operational planning tool for Member States, with a stronger focus on financing and ensuring that appropriately skilled workers are available for carrying out building renovations, as well as on tackling energy poverty, ensuring electrical and fire safety and improving the energy performance of worst performing buildings. In their building renovation plans, Member States should set their own national building renovation targets. In line with Article 21(b)(7) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and with the enabling conditions set under Regulation (EU) 2021/60 of the European Parliament and of the Council36 , Member States should provide an outline of financing measures, as well as an outline of the investment needs and the administrative resources for the implementation of their building renovation plans. _________________ 36 Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 June 2021 laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund Plus, the Cohesion Fund, the Just Transition Fund and the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund and financial rules for those and for the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund, the Internal Security Fund and the Instrument for Financial Support for Border Management and Visa Policy (OJ L 231, 30.6.2021, p. 159).

Amendment 391 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 32
(32) Staged renovation can be a solution to address the issues of high upfront costs and hassle for the inhabitants that may occur when renovating ‘in one go’. However, such staged renovation needs to be carefully planned in order to avoid that one renovation step precludes necessary subsequent steps. Renovation passports provide a clear roadmap for staged renovation, helping owners and investors plan the best timing and scope for interventions. Therefore, renovation passports should be made available as a voluntary tool to building owners across all Member States. Renovation passports should not become an economic or administrative burden for building owners and should be provided at no cost to all vulnerable and low-income households, especially in the case when the dwelling is a sole residential property.

Amendment 397 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 33
(33) The concept of ‘deep renovation’ has not yet been defined in Union legislation. With a view to achieving the long-term vision for buildings, deep renovation should be defined as a renovation that transforms buildings into zero-emission buildings; in a first step, as a renovation that transforms buildings into nearly zero-energy buildings. This definition serves the purpose of increasing the energy performance of buildings. A deep renovation for energy performance purposes is a prime opportunity to address other aspects such as living conditions of vulnerable households, increasing climate resilience, resilience against disaster risks including seismic resilience, fire and electrical safety, the removal of hazardous substances including asbestos, and accessibility for persons with disabilities.

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 402 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 34
(34) In order to foster deep renovation, which is one of the goals of the Renovation Wave strategy, Member States should give enhanced financial and administrative support to deep renovation, targeting vulnerable and low-income households, living in a single household property and worst-performing buildings.

Amendment 421 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 40
(40) Promoting green mobility is a key part of the European Green Deal and buildings can play an important role in providing the necessary infrastructure, not only for recharging of electric vehicles but also for bicycles. A shift to soft mobility such as cycling can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transport. As set out in the 2030 Climate Target Plan, increasing the modal shares of clean and efficient private and public transport, such as cycling, will drastically lower pollution from transport and bring major benefits to individual citizens and communities. The lack of bike parking spaces is a major barrier to the uptake of cycling, both in residential and non-residential buildings. Building codes can effectively support the transition to cleaner mobility by establishing requirements for a minimum number of bicycle parking spaces, depending on the local needs, circumstances and traditions.

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 429 #
(43 a) Electrification of heat and transport will lead to a significant increase in peak demand, especially during the heating season. Solutions that are capable of reducing or shifting the increase of electric peak demand have a very high value for the energy system and its efficiency as a whole. To mitigate increases in electric peak demand and to achieve a decarbonisation of the heating sector, Member States should rely on all demand-side flexibility solutions.

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 430 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 43 b (new)
(43 b) Demand side flexibility can reduce peak demand and generates several benefits. In terms of resource adequacy, it can generate a capacity to meet at all times the demand within the system capacity, including seasonal heating peak demand. In terms of local resilience, it can generate a capacity of the system to keep delivering energy to end-users despite an unexpected grid emergency such as an electricity line or power plant breakdown. In terms of renewable integration, it can generate a capacity to maximise the renewable energy integration, by adapting the demand to the renewable energy available.

Amendment 434 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 46 a (new)
(46 a) Member States should provide financial guarantees to financial institutions, in order to promote targeted financial products for enhanced energy performance of buildings for those in the following criterion without prejudice to income criteria: people at energy poverty, vulnerable and low-income households, as well as to owners in worst-performing multi-apartment buildings and buildings in rural areas. Those Pay-as-you-Save financial schemes are based on the principle that the repayment cost of an energy efficiency loans hall not exceed the monetary equivalent of the energy savings on an annual basis.

Amendment 436 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 46 b (new)
(46 b) The benefits of the ‘Pay-as-you- Save financial scheme’ in the medium- term, following the repayment of the loan, imply: net benefit for the household owners in terms of annual energy cost savings and an increased value of the property.

Amendment 441 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 48
(48) Inefficient buildings are often linked to energy poverty and social problems. Vulnerable households are particularly exposed to increasing energy prices as they spend a larger proportion of their budget on energy products. By reducing excessive energy bills, building renovation can lift people out of energy poverty and also prevent it. At the same time, building renovation does not come for free, and it is essential to ensure that the social impact of the costs for building renovation, notably on vulnerable households, is kept in check. The renovation wave should leave no one behind and be seized as an opportunity to improve the situation of vulnerable households, and a fair transition towards climate neutrality should be ensured. Therefore, financial incentives and other policy measures should as a priority target vulnerable households, people affected by energy poverty, vulnerable and low- income households and people living in social housing, and Member States should take measures to prevent evictions because of renovation. The Commission proposal for a Council Recommendation on ensuring a fair transition towards climate neutrality provides a common framework and shared understanding of comprehensive policies and investments needed for ensuring that the transition is fair.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 54
(54) A common approach to the energy performance certification of buildings , renovation passports, smart readiness indicators and the inspection of heating, electrical installations and air-conditioning systems, carried out by qualified or certified experts, whose independence is to be guaranteed on the basis of objective criteria, contribute to a level playing field as regards efforts made in Member States to energy saving in the buildings sector and will introduce transparency for prospective owners or users with regard to energy performance in the Union property market. In order to ensure the quality of energy performance certificates , renovation passports, smart readiness indicators and of the inspection of heating and air- conditioning systems throughout the Union, an independent control mechanism should be established in each Member State.
