Recital 7 a (new)
(7 a) Ambitious goals for the deep, gradual renovation of existing building stock will create millions of jobs in the Union, in particular in small and medium-sized enterprises. The construction industry alone directly accounts for 18 million jobs in Europe and generates nine per cent of GDP. Energy efficiency measures in the building industry have the potential to accelerate the modernisation of that sector and its associated workforce. In that context, it is necessary for Member States to provide a clear link between their national long-term renovation strategies and suitable initiatives to promote skills and education in the construction and energy efficiency sectors.

Recital 18
(18) The provisions of this Directive should not prevent Member States from setting more ambitious energy performance requirements at building level and for building elements, nor should they prevent the Member States from setting more ambitious requirements for indoor climates, as long as such measures are compatible with Union law. It is consistent with the objectives of this Directive and of Directive 2012/27/EC that these requirements may, in certain circumstances, limit the installation or use of products subject to other applicable Union harmonisation legislation, provided that such requirements should not constitute an unjustifiable market barrier.
