Proposal for a directive
Recital 2 a (new)

(2a) Considering the need to aggregate and assist project development, the path to de-risking energy efficiency investments, and the need to use public funds more effectively, there is a need to promote innovative financial solutions, such as Energy Efficiency Obligations Schemes, European Fund for Strategic Investments and Green Mortgages. It is also crucial to make better use of structural funds and investment funds in the form of grants and financial instruments, such as loans, equity, guarantees, and off-the-shelf instruments.

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.

Proposal for a directive
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.

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.

(13) To ensure their best use in building renovation, financial measures related to energy efficiency should be linked to the depth of the renovation~~, which should be assessed by comparing energy performance certificates (EPCs) issued before and after the renovation~~ and promote holistic building renovations as the best way of ensuring high energy performance and securing indoor health and comfort. Such renovation should be assessed by comparing EPCs issued before and after the renovation where proportionate to the extent of the renovation, or by similar adequate and proportionate documentation methods. Financial mechanisms and incentives should have a central position in the national long-term renovation strategies and be actively promoted by Member States. Member States should ensure that a certain percentage of funding is allocated in this area to tackle energy poverty through energy efficiency refurbishments in low- income households.
