Recital 19
Recital 19
(19) Recent years have seen a rise in the number of air-conditioning systems in European countries. This creates considerable problems at peak load times, increasing the cost of electricity and disrupting the energy balance in those countries. Priority should be given to strategies which enhance the thermal performance of buildings during the summer period. To this end there should be further development of passive cooling techniques, primarily those that improve indoor climatic conditions and the microclimate around buildings.

Article 3 – paragraph 1 a (new)
Article 3 – paragraph 1 a (new)
The methodology of calculation of energy performance of buildings shall use European standards.
Amendment 201 #

Article 3 – paragraph 2
Article 3 – paragraph 2
This methodology shall be adopimplemented at national or regional level.
Amendment 205 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 3 – paragraph 2 a (new)
Article 3 – paragraph 2 a (new)
The energy performance of buildings shall be expressed in a transparent manner and shall include an indicator for C02 emissions and for primary energy demand.
Amendment 249 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 5 – paragraph 1
Article 5 – paragraph 1
1. The Commission shall establish by 31 December 2010Member States shall apply a comparative methodology for calculating cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements for buildings or parts thereof. The comparative methodology shall differentiate between new and existing buildings and between different categories of buildings in accordance with the general framework set out in Annex III a. Those measures designed to amend non- essenthodology for calculating cost- optimal elementvels of this Directive by supplementing it shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 19(2)minimum energy performance requirements for buildings or parts thereof shall include relevant European standards.
Amendment 363 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 10 – paragraph 1
Article 10 – paragraph 1
1. Member States shall lay down the necessary measures to establish a system of certification of the energy performance of buildings. The energy performance certificate shall include the energy performance of a building and reference values such as(expressed as a minimum in terms of numeric indicators for CO2 emissions and primary energy demand as referred to in Annex I) and minimum energy performance requirements in order to make it possible for owners or tenants of the building or parts thereof to compare and assess its energy performance.
Amendment 385 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 10 – paragraph 6
Article 10 – paragraph 6
6. Certification for single-family houses may be based on the assessment of another representative building of similar design and size with a similar actual energy performance quality if the local climatic conditions are taken into account and if this correspondence can be guaranteed by the expert issuing the energy performance certificate.
Amendment 460 #

Annex I – point 2 – subparagraph 2
Annex I – point 2 – subparagraph 2
The methodology of calculation of energy performance of buildings should take into accountall use European standards.

Amendment 482 #
Proposal for a directive
Annex III a (new)
Annex III a (new)
Annex IIIa Deriving cost-optimal minimum performance requirements To perform these calculations, Member States shall: - define reference buildings that are characterised by and representative of their functionality and geographic location, including indoor and outdoor climate conditions. The reference buildings shall cover residential and non- residential buildings, both new and existing; - define technical packages (for example,. insulation of the building's envelope or parts thereof, or more energy efficient technical building systems) of energy efficiency and energy supply measures to be assessed; - assess delivered energy, used primary energy and CO2-emissions of the reference buildings (including the defined technical packages applied); - assess the corresponding, energy related investment costs, energy costs and other running costs of the technical packages applied to the reference buildings. By calculating the life-cycle costs of a building on the basis of technical packages of measures applied to a reference building and setting them in relation to the energy performance and/or CO2 emissions, the cost-efficiency of different levels of minimum energy performance requirements shall be assessed.
