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 and promote a systemic development of smart cities, targeted incentives should be provided to promote smart-ready systems and digital solutions in the built environment.

(9) In order to adapt this Directive to the technical progress, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Directive, implementing powers ofn the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Unioncommon European Union scheme for rating the smart readiness of buildings should be delegatconferred ton the Commission to supplement it by defining the smartness indicator and enabling its implementation. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The smartness indicator should be used to measure buildings’ capacity to use ICT and electronic systems to optimise operation and interact with the grid. 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. The use of the scheme for rating the smart readiness of buildings should be voluntary for Member States.

Recital 13
(13) To ensure their best use in building renovation, financial measures related to energy efficiency should be linked to the depth of the renovation, which should be assessed by comparing energy performance certificates (EPCs) issued before and aftebefore and after the renovation. Such a comparison shall be done on the basis of energy performance certificates or other renovationlevant, transparent and proportionate method used in the Member State.

Recital 19
(19) The objectives of this Directive, namely to reduce the energy needed to meet the energy demand associated with the typical use of buildings, cannot be adequately achieved by the Member States acting alone. The objectives of the Directive can be more effectively ensured by acting at Union level because this guarantees consistency shared objectives, understanding and political drive. Therefore, the Union adopts measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on the European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as also set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve those objectives. Certain aspects related to the energy efficiency, such as energy poverty, should be addressed at national level. Creation of EU-wide strategies which don´t respect national specifics and differences between Member States may be misleading and counterproductive. Best practices may be considered.
