Amendment 69 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 1 a (new)
(1a) To the extent that an ambitious and binding target means enhanced order book visibility for private stakeholders that are involved in renovation, those stakeholders should achieve economies of scale, resulting, in principle, in a reduction in the unit cost of production of their materials and products. The companies involved should ensure that this reduction in costs is shrewdly distributed between an increase in their margins and cuts in their prices, in order to help bring down the barrier to investment that can be posed by efforts geared towards the energy renovation of buildings, and, more generally, efforts to improve energy efficiency.

Amendment 87 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) The 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change (COP21) must be reflected in the Union’s efforts to decarbonise its buildings stock, taking into account that almost 50% of the Union’s final energy demand is used for heating and cooling, of which 80% is used in buildings. The Union’s energy and climate goals therefore need to be based 100% on renewable energy by 2050, which can be achieved only making full use of energy saving potential and the “energy efficiency first” principle.

Amendment 122 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 9
(9) In order to adapt this Directive to the technical progress, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission to supplement it by defining the smartness indicator and enabling its implementation. The smartness indicator should be used to measure buildings’ capacity to use ICT and electronic systems to optimise operation and interact with the grid. TWhile the smartness indicator will raise awareness amongst building owners and occupants of the value behind building automation and electronic monitoring of technical building systems and will give confidence to the occupant about the actual savings of these new enhanced- functionalities, consumers should always be in control of their data.

Amendment 147 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 12
(12) Notably for large installations, bBuilding automation and electronic monitoring of technical building systems have proven to be an effective replacement for inspections. The installation of such equipment should be considered as the most cost-effective alternative toolds great potential to provide cost-effective and significant energy savings for both consumers and businesses. In particular for large installations, building automation and electronic monitoring of technical building systems have proven to be effective and, because they support informed actions taken on energy savings, can replace inspections in large non- residential and, increasingly frequently, also in multifamily buildings of a sufficient size that allow a payback of less than three years. The current possibility to of opting for alternative measures is therefore deleted. However it should be possible to exempt technical systems explicitly covered by an energy service company (ESCO) programme from the inspection requirement. To avoid double inspections, installations that are operated by a utility or network operator and that are subject to inspections at the system level should be exempt from this requirement. For small -scale installations, the documentation of the system performance by installers and the registration of this information in the databases on energy performance certification will support the verification of compliance with the minimum requirements set for all technical building systems and reinforce energy performance certificates (EPC) role. In addition, existing regular safety inspections and programmed maintenance work will remain an opportunity to provide direct advice on energy efficiency improvements.

Annex II a (new)
2a. the following annex is added: "ANNEX IIa Common general framework methodology for the calculation of a 'smartness indicator' for buildings as referred to in Article 8(6) 1. The Commission shall lay down a common general framework methodology to determine the smartness indicator value, rating the ability of a building or building unit to adapt its operation to the needs of the occupant and the grid and to improve its energy efficiency and overall performance. The methodology shall take into account a number of features including smart meters, building automation and control systems, smart thermostats, built-in home appliances, smart recharging points for electric vehicles, energy storage and the interoperability of those features. Those impacts shall be assessed for potential benefits for the energy efficiency and performance levels, as well as the enabled flexibility, indoor climate conditions and comfort of the relevant building or building unit. 2. The smartness indicator shall be determined and calculated in accordance with the following three key functionalities relating to the building and its technical building systems: (a) the ability to maintain, efficiently, high building performance and operation through the reduction of energy demand and a greater use of energy from renewable sources including the ability of the building to manage its own demand or on-site generation by re-managing its own resources; (b) the ability to adapt its operation mode in response to the needs of the occupant ensuring high standards of indoor health and climate conditions, paying due attention to the availability of user-friendly displays and remote controllability; and (c) the flexibility of a building's overall electricity demand, which shall be measured in terms of how much of the building's load can be shifted at any one time in terms of kW peak, and the capacity in terms of kWh of how much of that flexibility can then be delivered to the grid, including offtake and injection. This would enable and support the active participation of consumers in the electricity supply market in accordance with the Directive 2009/72/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council*. The framework methodology shall take into account European standards, in particular those developed under mandate M/480. 3. The framework methodology shall ensure full interoperability between smart meters, building automation and control systems, built-in home appliances, smart thermostats within the building and promote the use of European standards including the Smart Appliances Reference ontology. The smartness indicator shall consider and set a value on openness to third-party systems, for infrastructure such as the electricity and district heating network, electric vehicle infrastructure and demand-response aggregators, with a view to ensuring compatibility in communications, systems control and relevant data or signals transmission. 4. The framework methodology shall include the data handling process within a building or beyond a building’s boundaries, which could include data originating in or received by the building itself or the user or occupant. This process shall be based on protocols that allow authenticated and encrypted message exchanges between the occupant and the relevant products or devices within the building. In particular when processing personal data, such as data coming from frequent and remote metering or sub-metering or processed by smart-grid operators, the principles of occupant ownership, data protection, privacy and security shall be ensured. This common methodology framework shall cover real time data and energy- related data coming out of cloud based solutions and shall ensure the security of data, smart meter readings and data communications, and the privacy of final customers, in compliance with relevant Union data protection and privacy law. 5. The framework methodology shall take into account the positive influence of existing communication networks, in particular the existence of high-speed- ready in-building physical infrastructure, such as the voluntary 'broadband ready' label, and the existence of an access point for multi-dwelling buildings, in accordance with Article 8 of Directive 2014/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council**. 6. The framework methodology shall set out the most appropriate format or visual representation of the smartness indicator parameter and shall be simple, transparent, and easily understandable for consumers, owners, investors, and demand response market participants. It shall complement the energy performance certificate. __________________ * Directive 2009/72/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity (OJ L 211, 14.8.2009, p. 55). ** Directive 2014/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 concerning measures to reduce the cost of deploying high-speed electronic communication networks (OJ L 155, 23.5.2014, p. 1)."
