(3) Reduction of specific energy consumption in the buildings sector through more efficient energy use constitutes an important part of the measures needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and comply with the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and with further European and international commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions beyond 2012. Reduced specific energy consumption also has an important part to play in promoting security of energy supply, technological developenergy technology innovation and technological development and scheduling investment and providing opportunities for employment and regional development, especially in rural areas.

(9) The energy performance of buildings should be calculated on the basis of a methodology, which may be differentiated at national and regional level, and that includes, in addition to thermal characteristics , other factors that play an increasingly important role such as heating and air-conditioning installations, application of renewable energy sources, passive heating and cooling elements, shading, indoor air-quality, adequate natural light and design of the building. The methodology for calculating energy performance should not only be based on the season where heating is required, but should cover the annual energy performance of a buildingsingle, harmonised European calculation methodology with objective variables, taking due account of regional climatic differences.

Article 16
Article 16
Member States shall ensure that the energy performance certification of buildings the inspection of heating systems and air- conditioning systems are carried out in an independent manner by qualified and accredited experts, whether operating as self-employed or employed by public bodies or private enterprises bodies, including those who are owners or managers of certified buildings. Experts shall be accredited taking into account their competence and their independence. By 2010, on the basis of information received from Member States and after consulting representatives of the relevant sectors, minimum conditions and requirements for the recognition in individual States of programmes for the training and certification of independent experts shall be established in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 21.
