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.

Recital 12
(12) Notably for large installations, bBuilding automation and electronic monitoring of technical building systems have proven to be an effective replacement for inspections. The installation of such equipment should be considered as the most cost-effective alternative toolds great potential to provide cost-effective and significant energy savings for both consumers and businesses. In particular for large installations, building automation and electronic monitoring of technical building systems have proven to be effective and, because they support informed actions taken on energy savings, can replace inspections in large non- residential and, increasingly frequently, also in multifamily buildings of a sufficient size that allow a payback of less than three years. The current possibility to of opting for alternative measures is therefore deleted. However it should be possible to exempt technical systems explicitly covered by an energy service company (ESCO) programme from the inspection requirement. To avoid double inspections, installations that are operated by a utility or network operator and that are subject to inspections at the system level should be exempt from this requirement. For small -scale installations, the documentation of the system performance by installers and the registration of this information in the databases on energy performance certification will support the verification of compliance with the minimum requirements set for all technical building systems and reinforce energy performance certificates (EPC) role. In addition, existing regular safety inspections and programmed maintenance work will remain an opportunity to provide direct advice on energy efficiency improvements.

Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) Financial mechanisms to finance energy-efficient new buildings, as well as energy efficiency measures in the building stock, should come from private, public- private and public sources. For private investments, the risk for investments in the modernisation of the building stock should be reduced. Public-private partnerships should especially be taken into consideration for energy efficiency measures in public buildings to decrease the financial burden on smaller and financially weaker cities, regions and member states. Further, member states should encourage energy efficiency measures, especially in social housing and housing of the weakest market participants, by public financial support for which also European Funds could be used.
