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. This Directive should therefore encourage the Member States to develop intermediate stages in anticipation of responses to the need to renovate all 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 buildings owned by public bodies to upgrade their energy performance. This renovation rate 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. 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.

Recital 15 a (new)
(15a) Buildings account for around 40% of final energy use in Europe. In light of this, the Union should bring in strong measures that target all buildings, notably with a view to achieving the 2020 and 2050 targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The public sector should act as an example in regard to building renovation, but Member States should also take a long-term view and, upholding the principles of subsidiarity, draw up road maps for the renovation of public buildings, residential buildings and non- residential private buildings

Article 3 – paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. Member States shall establish roadmaps describing their national strategies set up to ensure that the energy consumption of their buildings are significantly reduced by 2050. The national roadmaps shall be adopted by 1 January 2014 in respect of public buildings; by 1 January 2015 in respect of non-residential private buildings; by 1 January 2017 in respect of residential buildings. The roadmaps should lay down intermediate average energy-saving targets for buildings by 2020, 2030 and 2040. The roadmaps shall be annexed to the annual reports provided for in Article 19(1) of the Directive.

1. Without prejudice to Article 7 of Directive 2010/31/EU, Member States shall ensure that as from 1 January 2014, 3% of the total floor area owned by their public bodies is renovated each year to meet at least the minimum energy performance requirements set by the Member State concerned 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 ownthe final energy consumption of buildings owned or occupied by their public bodies of the Member State concerned that, on 1 January of each year, does not meet the national minimum energy performance requirements set in application of Article 4 of Directive 2010/31/EUis reduced each year by 3%.

Article 6 – paragraph 1
1. Each Member State shall set up an energy efficiency obligation scheme. This scheme shall ensure that either all energy distributors or all retail energy sales companies operating on the Member State's territory achieve annual energycumulative final energy consumption savings 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 savings shall be achieved by the obligated parties among final customers.

3a. Member States shall ensure that the calculation of energy savings counting towards the obligation laid down in paragraph 2 takes into account the lifetime and cost-effectiveness of measures. Measures shall be aimed at long-term energy savings and be based on standard values and lifetimes that Member States have adopted on a clear and sound basis. Such values shall be notified to the Commission. The Commission may request that such values are modified, where they are likely to distort competition or where they show less ambition than the default values and lifetimes established at EU level.
