Amendment 145 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 7
(7) The Presidency Conclusions of the European Council of 4 February 2011 acknowledged that the EU energy efficiency target is not on track and that determined action is required to tap the considerable potential for higher energy savefficiency gaings in buildings, transport, products and processes. (This amendment applies throughout the text in reference to 'energy savings'. Adopting it will necessitate corresponding changes throughout.)

Amendment 184 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 15
(15) The rate of building renovation needs to be increased, as the existing building stock represents the single biggest potential sector for energy savings. Moreover, buildings are crucial to achieving the EU objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80-95% by 2050 compared to 1990. To ensure this, it is essential that this Directive maintains a long-term view and establishes roadmaps for drastically reducing the energy use of both private and public buildings by 2050. Buildings owned or occupied by public bodies account for a considerable share of the building stock and have high visibility in public life. It is therefore appropriate to set an annual rate of renovation of all long-term target and an annual rate of energy performance improvement for buildings owned or occupied by public bodies to upgrade their energy performance. This renovation ratemeasure would require an increased renovation rate and deep renovations, while it should be without prejudice to the obligations with regard to nearly- zero energy buildings set in Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 on the energy performance of buildings it will in fact serve to facilitate meeting these obligations. The obligation to renovate public buildings complements the provisions of that Directive, which requires Member States to ensure that when existing buildings undergo major renovation their energy performance is upgraded so that they meet minimum energy performance requirements.

Amendment 206 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 17 a (new)
(17a) Taking into account that buildings represent 40% of the final energy use in the EU and 36% of the CO2 emissions, and given that the Roadmap for moving to a low carbon economy in 2050 establishes an objective of 90% emission reduction from the building sector, this objective will only be achieved if the EU takes strong action in the building stock as a whole, as an essential part of its energy infrastructure. This is why, following the exemplary role of the public sector in building renovation, Member states must also, within a long-term perspective and preserving the principle of subsidiarity and cost-effectiveness, establish path ways for the renovation of commercial and private buildings.

Amendment 217 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 19
(19) To tap the energy efficiency and savings potential in certain market segments where energy audits are generally not offered commercially (such as households or small and medium-sized enterprises), Member States should ensure that energy audits are available. Energy audits should be mandatory and regular for large enterprises, as energy savings can be significant. Furthermore, Member States should take positive steps to encourage energy efficiency and savings in these market segments. First by encouraging electricity and gas distributors to restructure their tariffs and second by reviewing the application of variable rates of VAT.

Amendment 239 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 21
(21) When designing energy efficiency improvement measures, account should be taken of efficiency gains and savings obtained through the widespread application of cost-effective technological innovations such as smart meters. To maximise the saving benefits of these innovations, final customers should be able to visualise indicators of cost and consumption and have regular individual billing based on actual consumption. In particular, Member States should require electricity and gas distributors to adopt a common system of display to facilitate decisions by consumers.

Amendment 248 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 23
(23) High-efficiency cogeneration (CHP) and district heating and cooling has significant potential for saving primary energy which is largely untapped in the Union. Member States should draw up national plans to develop high-efficiency CHP and district heating and cooling where appropriate to their climate and housing structure. These plans should cover a sufficiently long period to provide investors with information concerning national development plans and contribute to a stable and supportive investment environment. New electricity generation installations and existing installations which are substantially refurbished or whose permit or licence is updated should be equipped with high-efficient CHP units to recover waste heat stemming from the production of electricity. This waste heat could then be transported where it is needed through district heating networks. To this end, Member States should adopt authorisation criteria to ensure the location of installations in sites close to heat demand points. Member States should however be able to lay down conditions for exemption from these obligations where certain conditions are met.

Amendment 268 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 27
(27) Most EU businesses are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). They represent an enormous energy saving potential for the EU. To help them adopt energy efficiency measures, Member States should establish a favourable framework aimed at providing SMEs with technical assistance and targeted information while recalling that the best incentive for SMEs must be the financial savings to be achieved through energy efficiency measures.

Amendment 630 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 4 a (new)
Article 4 a Without prejudice to Article 7 of Directive 2010/31/EU, Member States shall implement dedicated national roadmaps for the renovation of the buildings owned or occupied by public bodies. These roadmaps shall ensure measured reductions of delivered or final energy consumption (kWh and KWh/m2 or equivalent), as defined in Directive 2010/32/EC Annex 1, of at least 20%, 40% and 80% by 2020, 2030 and 2045, respectively. As part of these plans, all buildings owned or occupied by the national, regional and local authorities which- as from 1 January 2014- are subject to periodic modernisation works (for instance, because of age, poor quality or bad performance) will also be subject to energy renovation leading to the reduction of energy consumption mentioned above. When fulfilling requirements set out in paragraph 1, Member States shall ensure that deep renovations are carried out whenever technically feasible, starting first with the worst performing buildings, and encompassing all economically justifiable measures. These renovations shall be carried out at a rate and a depth that leads to a deemed or estimated annual cumulative energy performance improvement of at least 2.5% on average per year for the stock of public buildings as a whole until 2030, and beyond.

This scheme shall ensure that either all energy distributors or all retail energy sales companies operating on the Member State's territory achieve a minimum annual energy savingefficiency gains equal to 1.5% of their energy sales, by volume, in the previous year in that Member State excluding energy used in transport. This amount of energy savefficiency gaings shall be achieved by the obligated parties among final customers. Member States shall define eligible sectors and measures, country-specific measurement and verification rules, including qualitative project requirements and eligible actors other than the obligated parties.

Where the obligation scheme is financed via energy tariffs, national energy regulatory authorities should have a direct role in defining the technical and economic regulation governing the scheme, as well as in administering it, with the support of third parties where needed. They shall put in place control systems under which at least a statistically significant proportion of the energy efficiency improvement measures put in place by the obligated parties is independently verified.
