Proposal for a directive
Recital 1
Recital 1
(1) The Union is committed to a sustainable, competitive, secure andhas announced an over-ambitious decarbonised energy system. The Energy Union and the Energy and Climate Policy Framework for 2030 establish ambitious Union commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions further (by at least 40 % by 2030, as compared with 1990), to increase the proportion of renewable energy consumed (by at least 27 %) and to make energy savings of at least 27 %, reviewing this level having in mind an Union level of 30 %10, and to improve Europe’s energy security, competitiveness and sustainability. __________________ 10 EUCO 169/14, CO EUR 13, CONCL 5, Brussels 24 October 2014.

Recital 2
Recital 2
(2) To reach these ambitious objectives, the 2016 review of the Energy Efficiency legislation combines: (i) reassessment of the EU's energy efficiency target for 2030 as requested by the European Council in 2014; (ii) review of the core articles of the Energy Efficiency Directive and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive; (iii) reinforcing the enabling financing environment including the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) and the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), which will ultimately improve the financial conditions of energy efficiency investments on the market.

Recital 6
Recital 6
(6) The Union is committed to developing a secure, competitive and decarbonised energy system by 205012. To meet this goal, Member States and investors need milestones to ensure that buildings are decarbonised by 2050. In order to ensure this decarbonised building stock by 2050, Member States should identify the intermediary steps to achieving the mid-term (2030) and long-term (2050) objectives. __________________ 12 Communication on an Energy roadmap 2050, (COM(2011) 885 final).
Amendment 115 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 8
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 suitable and smart-ready systems and digital solutions in the built environment.
Amendment 132 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) Innovation and new technology also make it ambitiously possible for buildings to support the overall decarbonisation of the economy. For example, buildings can leverage the development of the infrastructure necessary for the smart charging of electric vehicles also provide a basis for Member States, if they choose to, to use car batteries as a source of power. To reflect this aim, the definition of technical building systems should be extended.
Amendment 180 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 14
Recital 14
(14) Access to financing is easier when good-quality information is available. Public buildings with a total useful floor area over 250 m² shouldcan therefore be required to disclose their actual energy consumption.
Amendment 187 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) To meet the objectives of an ambitious energy efficiency policy for buildings, the transparency of EPCs should be improved by ensuring that that all necessary parameters for calculations, for both certification and minimum energy performance requirements, are set out and applied consistently. Member States should put in place adequate measures to ensure, for example, that the performance of installed, replaced or updated technical building systems is documented in view of building certification and compliance checking.
Amendment 192 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 17
Recital 17
(17) Commission Recommendation (EU) 2016/1318 of 29 July 2016 on nearly zero-energy buildings presented how the ambitious implementation of the Directive could simultaneously ensure the transformation of the building stock and the shift to a more sustainable energy supply, which also supports the heating and cooling strategy14. To make sure appropriate implementation takes place, the general framework for the calculation of the energy performance of buildings should be updated with the support of the work elaborated by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN), under Mandate M/480 that was given by the European Commission. __________________ 14 COM(2016) 51 final
