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.

(7) The provisions on long-term renovation strategies provided for in Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council13 should be moved to Directive 2010/31/EU, where they fit more coherently, and updated to ensure access to affordable energy also for the most vulnerable citizens. __________________ 13 Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on energy efficiency, amending Directives 2009/125/EC and 2010/30/EU and repealing Directives 2004/8/EC and 2006/32/EC (OJ L 315, 14.11.2012, p. 1).

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. In order to digitise the building sector, targeted incentives should be provided to promote smart-ready systems and digital solutions in the built environment. Those targets should, however, take into account the less digitally engaged consumers who should not be left behind. In-building physical communications infrastructure is addressed in Directive 2014/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council. Targeted incentives should take into account the Union's connectivity targets, which are a prerequisite to the development of connected, smart homes. However, nearly zero emission buildings with good insulation may block indoor mobile connection and hamper the development of small cells and 5G networks unless the issue is considered during construction and renovation.

(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.

Member States shall establish a long-term strategy for mobilising investment in the renovation of the national stock of both public and private buildings with the aim of providing for the decarbonisation of the building stock by 2050 and delivering affordability for tenants and owners of the buildings. That strategy shall encompass: (a) an overview of the national building stock, based, as appropriate, on statistical sampling; (b) identification of cost-effective approaches and actions to stimulate renovations relevant to the building type and climatic zone, considering relevant trigger points in the life-cycle of the building; (c) policies and measures to stimulate cost-effective deep renovations of buildings, including staged deep renovations and decarbonisation of the heating demand, as well as targeted, small, very low cost renovations, e.g. thresholds and thermostatic radiator valves (d) policies and actions to target the worst performing segments of the national building stock, households subject to energy poverty and households subject to split-incentive dilemmas for renovations, including by requiring that the buildings in the lowest energy classes of the energy performance certificate are not rented after 1 January 2023; (e) policies and actions to target all public buildings, including social housing; (f) an overview of national initiatives to promote skills and education in the construction and energy efficiency sectors as well as education in smart technologies; (g) a forward-looking perspective to guide investment decisions of individuals, the construction industry, public institutions including municipalities, and financial institutions; (h) an evidence-based estimate of expected energy savings and wider benefits, such as health; (i) the introduction of building renovation passports; (j) policies delivering Very High Capacity Network to premises in accordance with Directive XXXX/XX/EU (European Electronic Communications Code) and in-building physical infrastructure in accordance with Directive 2014/61/EU.’
