Recital 6
Recital 6
6. The Union is committed to developing a secure, competitive, efficient and decarbonised energy system by 2050 12 . To meet this goal, Member States and investors need milestones to ensure that buildings are decarbonisedhigh energy-efficiency buildings by 2050. In order to ensure this decarbonised building stock by 2050, Member States should identify the intermediary steps to achieving the midterm (2030 and 2040) and longterm (2050) objectives. This transition can only be accomplished by promoting the renovation of the building stock, including all public buildings, so as to reduce energy demand in buildings by 30%, while factoring in the national circumstances, climatic conditions and building types. 12 Communication on an Energy roadmap 2050, (COM(2011) 885 final).

6a. In order to achieve the 2050 decarbonisation objective and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the EU should adopt a holistic approach to the energy efficiency of buildings. The EU should hence assess, by 2024, whether to broaden the scope of this Directive to include the embodied energy used in the construction of a building and its individual components.

Recital 7
(7) The provisions on long-term renovation strategies provided for in Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council13 should be moved to Directive 2010/31/EU, where they fit more coherently, and updated to ensure access to affordable energy also for the most vulnerable citizens. __________________ 13 Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on energy efficiency, amending Directives 2009/125/EC and 2010/30/EU and repealing Directives 2004/8/EC and 2006/32/EC (OJ L 315, 14.11.2012, p. 1).

Recital 7 a (new)
7a. Long-term renovation strategies must set clear and ambitious targets and establish specific measures to ensure the necessary renovation work is done, not least by providing the appropriate financial support. Those specific measures should include support for individual private sector measures targeting energy efficiency, and should also establish mechanisms for improving the energy efficiency of multiple residential units by aggregating projects focused on specific urban areas. Small- scale actions will enable the public to contribute effectively to achieving energy efficiency objectives by working to the advantage of enterprises, including SMEs, operating at local and regional level.

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 smart-ready systems and digital solutions in the built environment. Those targets should, however, take into account the less digitally engaged consumers who should not be left behind. In-building physical communications infrastructure is addressed in Directive 2014/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council. Targeted incentives should take into account the Union's connectivity targets, which are a prerequisite to the development of connected, smart homes. However, nearly zero emission buildings with good insulation may block indoor mobile connection and hamper the development of small cells and 5G networks unless the issue is considered during construction and renovation.

Recital 9
(9) In order to adapt this Directive to the technical progress, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission to supplement it by defining the smartness indicator and enabling its implementation. The smartness indicator should be used to measure buildings’ capacity to use ICT and electronic systems to optimise operation and interact with the grid. TWhile the smartness indicator will raise awareness amongst building owners and occupants of the value behind building automation and electronic monitoring of technical building systems and will give confidence to the occupant about the actual savings of these new enhanced- functionalities, consumers should always be in control of their data.
