Amendment 11 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
2. Recalls that heating and cooling constitute the largest share of the EU’s energy demand; emphasises the importance of technology-neutral and market-based incentives in the transition to a low-carbon and secure energy supply to the heating and cooling sector and of focusing not only on a component level, such as buildings; highlights the relevance of promoting the best low carbon technologies for building and industrial sectors in order to reduce the demand of thermal conditioning and to ensure the reduction of GHGs and other pollutants.

Amendment 83 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 6
6. Calls for a review of existing legislation focused on safeguarding technology neutrality and cost efficiency so as to ensure that it does not promote or discredit one technology over another – renewable energy produced on-site or near a building should for instance be accounted for when calculating the building’s energy performance, regardless of the sourceso as to ensure that environmental externalities are fully integrated in the cost of thermal conditioning processes.
