Proposal for a directive
Recital 2 a (new)

(2 a) Around 50 million households in the Union are affected by energy poverty. Energy poverty should be considered as the inability of a household to support an adequate level of energy supply so as to guarantee basic levels of comfort and health, due to a combination of low income, high-energy prices and low quality, poor performing housing stock. The present building renovation rates are insufficient and those buildings owned or occupied by low-income citizens at risk of energy poverty are the hardest to reach.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 5 a (new)

(5 a) The Union's building stock will need to become ‘nearly zero-energy buildings’ by 2050, in line with the objectives of COP21 (the Paris Agreement). The current building renovation rates are insufficient and those buildings owned or occupied by low- income citizens at risk of energy poverty are the hardest to reach.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 6 a (new)

(6 a) To meet the targets for decarbonising the building stock by 2050, and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote the transition to a low- carbon economy, it will be necessary to take a holistic approach to defining energy-efficient buildings. Specifically, by 2024, the European Commission ought to present a feasibility study on the possible expansion of the Directive’s scope, given its possible revision in 2028, with a view to providing for the inclusion of the embodied energy required to construct a building and its building components.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 7 a (new)

(7 a) Ambitious goals for deep renovation of the existing building stock will create millions of jobs in the Union, in particular in micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises. 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 education, lifelong training and skills for technicians and professionals working in the construction and energy efficiency sectors.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 13 a (new)

(13 a) In order to encourage renovations, long term private financing and de- risking tools should be promoted by implementing energy efficient mortgage standards for certified energy efficient building renovations. A lower risk weighting in capital requirements should be recognized for financial institutions providing energy efficient mortgages. The requirements should reflect the potential risk mitigating effects of energy efficiency and be reviewed in light of de-risking data gain; where appropriate, a lower capital charge for energy efficiency mortgage collateral should be considered.

Proposal for a directive
Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 4 a (new)

Directive 2010/31/EU
Article 7 a (new)

4a. The following Article 7a shall be added after Article 7: (a) Article 7a is based on Article 5 of Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency: Article 7a 1. Without prejudice to Article 7 of Directive 2010/31/EU, each Member State shall ensure that, as from 1 January 2014, 3% of the total floor area of heated and/or cooled buildings owned and occupied by public authorities is renovated each year to meet at least the minimum energy performance requirements that it has set in application of Article 4 of Directive 2010/31/EU. The 3% rate shall be calculated on the total floor area of buildings with a total useful floor area over 250 m2 owned and occupied by the public authorities of the Member State concerned that, on 1 January of each year, do not meet the national minimum energy performance requirements set in application of Article 4 of Directive 2010/31/EU. When taking measures for the comprehensive renovation of public authority buildings in accordance with the first subparagraph, Member States may choose to consider the building as a whole, including the building envelope, equipment, operation and maintenance. Member States shall require that public authority buildings with the poorest energy performance be a priority for energy efficiency measures, where cost- effective and technically feasible. 2. Member States may decide not to set or apply the requirements referred to in paragraph 1 to the following categories of buildings: (a) buildings officially protected as part of a designated environment, or because of their special architectural or historical merit, in so far as compliance with certain minimum energy performance requirements would unacceptably alter their character or appearance; (b) buildings owned by the armed forces or central government and used for national defence purposes, apart from single living quarters or office buildings for the armed forces and other staff employed by national defence authorities; (c) buildings used as places of worship and for religious activities. 3. If a Member State renovates more than 3% of the total floor area of public authorities buildings in a given year, it may count the excess towards the annual renovation rate of any of the three previous or following years. 4. Member States may count towards the annual renovation rate of public authority buildings new buildings occupied and owned as replacements for specific public authority buildings demolished in any of the two previous years, or buildings that have been sold, demolished or taken out of use in any of the two previous years due to more intensive use of other building. 5. For the purposes of paragraph 1, by 31 December 2013, Member States shall establish and make publicly available an inventory of heated and/or cooled public authority buildings with a total useful floor area over 500 m2, and, as of 9 July 2015, over 250 m2, excluding buildings exempted on the basis of paragraph 2. The inventory shall contain the following data: (a) the floor area in m2; and (b) the energy performance of each building or relevant energy data. 6. Without prejudice to Article 7 of Directive 2010/31/EU, Member States may opt for an alternative approach to paragraphs 1 to 5 of this Article, whereby they take other cost-effective measures, including deep renovations and measures to change the behaviour of occupants, to achieve, by 2030, an amount of energy savings in eligible buildings owned and occupied by their public authorities that is at least equivalent to that required in paragraph 1, reported on an annual basis. For the purpose of the alternative approach, Member States may estimate the energy savings that paragraphs 1 to 4 would generate by using appropriate standard values for the energy consumption of reference public authorities buildings before and after renovation and according to estimates of the surface of their stock. The categories of reference public authority buildings shall be representative of the stock of such buildings. Member States opting for the alternative approach shall notify the Commission, by [XXXX], of the alternative measures that they plan to adopt, showing how they would achieve an equivalent improvement in the energy performance of the buildings within the public authority estate. 7. Member States shall encourage public bodies, including at regional and local level, and social housing bodies governed by public law, with due regard for their respective competences and administrative set-up, to: (a) adopt an energy efficiency plan, freestanding or as part of a broader climate or environmental plan, containing specific energy-saving and efficiency objectives and actions, with a view to following the exemplary role of public authority buildings laid down in paragraphs 1, 5 and 6; (b) put in place an energy management system, including energy audits, as part of the implementation of their plan; (c) use, where appropriate, energy service companies, and energy performance contracting to finance renovations and implement plans to maintain or improve energy efficiency in the long term.”;
