Recital 15
Recital 15
(15) Measures are needed to increase the number of buildings which not only fulfil current minimum energy performance requirements, but are more energy efficient. For this purpose Member States should draw up national plans for increasing the number of buildings of which both carbon dioxide emissions and primary energy consumption are low or equal to zero and regularly report them to the Commission. zero and regularly report them to the Commission. The Commission should come forward by 30 June 2010 with proposals to establish a common methodology for defining buildings which have both carbon dioxide emissions and primary energy consumption that are low or zero, which should take into consideration regional weather conditions. The Commission, the European Investment Bank and Member States should establish, by 30 June 2010, an Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fund, to support, by 2020, the gradual increase of the percentage of new buildings which meet this standard.
