PURPOSE: to\n recast Directive 2002/91/EC to improve the energy performance of buildings.
PROPOSED ACT: Directive\n of the European Parliament and of the Council.
BACKGROUND: the\n energy consumption of buildings varies enormously. Whilst new buildings may\n need less than 3 to 5 litres of heating oil or equivalent per square meter\n floor area and year, the existing buildings stock consumes, on average, about\n 25 litres per square meter, some buildings even up to 60 litres. Available construction products and installation technologies can drastically improve the\n building's energy performance – and so reduce its energy consumption – and\n create net benefits: the annual energy cost savings are exceeding the annual\n capital costs for the investments. The best moment for energy improvements is\n when buildings are constructed or renovated.
The existing\n Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (2002/91/EC) is a key element to improve\n buildings' energy performance. Some Member States have made promising\n progress in recent years, but the majority still have an enormous untapped\n potential for improvements. To this end, the Commission sees further room for\n strengthening the effectiveness and the impact of this Directive.
CONTENT: in the proposal the objectives\n and main principles of the current EPBD are retained and the role of Member\n States in setting up the concrete requirements is also the same as in the current\n EPBD. The administrative burdens are kept to a minimum, but developed in\n order to achieve maximum effect. It is crucial that the current EPBD be\n properly implemented and on time. This proposal should not be an excuse to\n delay implementation of the current Directive.
The proposal clarifies, strengthens and extends the scope of the\n current EPBD's provisions by;
The Commission will continue to help Member States\n implementing this Directive, like with the information service\n \"Buildings Platform\". In 2009, the Commission will launch a major\n “Build-up” initiative to increase the awareness of the whole chain from\n authorities, to construction industry and citizens on the saving\n opportunities. New financing schemes are introduced to overcome investment\n barriers.
According to the Commission, the macroeconomic estimated\n impacts are also significant: 5-6% less energy will be used in EU in 2020\n (which equals the total current consumption of Belgium and Romania) and about 5% less CO2 emissions will be emitted in the whole EU in 2020.
\nThe Committee on Industry, Research and Energy\n adopted the report drawn up by Silvia-Adriana ŢICAU (PES, RO) amending,\n under the first reading of codecision procedure, the proposal for a directive\n of the European Parliament and of the Council on the energy performance of\n buildings (recast).
The main amendments\n are as follows:
Subject\n matter: the subject matter of the Directive\n should include a reference to the cost-optimal calculation methodology, as\n well as to minimum performance requirements for building components and\n technical building systems, and to their application in new and existing\n buildings. Targets for net zero energy buildings are an important\n element of the recast. Education, training and mutual recognition\n requirements between Member States for certifiers of the energy performance\n of buildings and for inspectors of heating and air-conditioning systems\n should be included.
Member States\n should establish national plans for eliminating obstacles under building,\n tenancy and heritage protection laws and for creating financial incentives.
Definitions: the committee inserted definitions for \"new building\",\n \"parts of a building” “net zero energy building” \"energy from\n renewable sources\" \"building component\", “energy poverty”. It\n amended the definition for “major renovation.”
Adoption of\n methodology: rather than Member States, the text\n states that the Commission shall, after consulting the relevant stakeholders\n and in particular representatives from local, regional and national\n authorities, establish by 31 March 2010 a common methodology of calculation of the energy performance of buildings, in accordance with the general\n framework set out in Annex I. The energy performance of buildings shall be\n expressed in a transparent manner and shall include an indicator for CO2\n emissions and for primary energy demand.
Setting\n minimum energy performance requirements: as from\n 30 June 2012 Member States shall only provide incentives for the construction\n or major renovation of buildings or parts thereof, including building\n components, the results of which comply at least with minimum energy\n performance requirements achieving the results of the calculation referred to\n in the text.
Calculation\n of cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements: a new Annex in inserted listing the principles for a common methodology\n on calculating cost-optimal levels. This common methodology may refer to\n relevant European standards and shall, inter alia, set out common assumptions\n or calculation methods for energy costs.
Technical\n building systems: smart meters must be installed\n in all new buildings and all buildings undergoing a major renovation and\n whenever a meter is replaced, and shall encourage the installation of active\n control systems such as automation, control and monitoring systems, where\n appropriate.
Net zero\n energy buildings: this article replaces the\n article entitled “Buildings of which both carbon dioxide emissions and\n primary energy consumption are low or equal to zero.” The committee\n stipulates that Members States shall ensure that all new buildings are at\n least net zero energy buildings by 31 December 2018 at the latest. Member\n States shall set targets for the minimum percentage of buildings which shall\n be, by 2015 and by 2020 respectively, net zero energy buildings. The\n Commission shall establish a detailed common definition of net zero energy\n buildings by 31 December 2010 at the latest.
Financial\n Incentives and Market Barriers: a new clause\n states that Member States shall, by 30 June 2011, draw up national action\n plans, including proposed measures, for meeting the requirements laid down in\n the Directive through reducing existing legal and market barriers and\n developing existing and new financial and fiscal instruments to increase the\n energy efficiency of new and existing buildings.
Member States\n must compare their financial and fiscal instruments with the instruments\n listed in a new Annex IIIb and, without prejudice to national legislation,\n implement at least two measures from that Annex.
The Commission\n shall, by 30 June 2010 at the latest, following an impact assessment, bring\n forward appropriate legislative proposals to strengthen existing and propose\n additional Community financial instruments to support the implementation of\n the Directive. These proposals shall consider certain specified measures,\n including an increase of the maximum amount of the European Regional\n Development Fund allocation to at least 15% of the total allocation; and the\n establishment of an Energy Efficiency Fund.
Energy\n performance certificate: all building owners\n should have the right to initiate or revise an EPC at any time, using\n different experts if they disagree with the recommendations provided
Public\n authorities, taking into account the leading role which they should play in\n the field of energy performance of buildings, shall implement the\n recommendations included in the energy performance certificate issued for\n buildings occupied by them within its validity period.
The committee\n provided for the mutual recognition of certificates.
Information: Member States shall ensure that local and regional authorities\n are involved in the development of programmes to provide information and\n training and to raise awareness. Suitable guidance and training must also be\n made available for those responsible for implementing this Directive through\n planning and enforcement of building standards.
By 2010, the\n Commission shall establish a website, which shall contain certain\n specified information, inter alia, the latest version of every Energy\n Efficiency Action Plan.
\nThe European Parliament adopted by 549 votes to 51, with\n 26 abstentions, a legislative resolution amending, under the first reading of\n the codecision procedure, the proposal for a directive of the European\n Parliament and of the Council on the energy performance of buildings\n (recast).
The main amendments were as follows:
Subject matter: the subject matter of the Directive should include a\n reference to the cost-optimal calculation methodology, as well as to minimum\n performance requirements for building components and technical building\n systems, and to their application in new and existing buildings. Targets for\n net zero energy buildings are an important element of the recast. Education,\n training and mutual recognition requirements between Member States for\n certifiers of the energy performance of buildings and for inspectors of\n heating and air-conditioning systems should be included.
Definitions: Parliament inserted definitions for \"new building”, “parts of a\n building” “net zero energy building” \"energy from renewable\n sources\" \"building component\", “energy poverty” and\n \"lighting design\". It amended the definition for “major\n renovation.”
Adoption of methodology: rather than Member States, the text states that the\n Commission shall, after consulting the relevant stakeholders and in\n particular representatives from local, regional and national authorities,\n establish by 31 March 2010 a common methodology of calculation of the energy\n performance of buildings, in accordance with the general framework set out in\n Annex I. The energy performance of buildings shall be expressed in a\n transparent manner and shall include an indicator for primary energy demand.
Setting minimum energy performance requirements: as from 30 June 2012 Member States shall\n only provide incentives for the construction or major renovation of buildings\n or parts thereof, including building components, the results of which comply\n at least with minimum energy performance requirements achieving the results\n of the calculation referred to in the text. Member States shall review their\n minimum energy performance requirements and ensure that these requirements\n achieve at least the results of the calculation referred to in the text no\n later than 30 June 2015. Member States shall provide subsidies and technical\n advice for historic buildings or centres to undertake specific programmes for\n adaptation to energy efficiency. Systems for the production of energy and\n insulation measures located in historic centres shall be subject to visual\n impact assessments.
Calculation of cost-optimal levels of minimum energy\n performance requirements: a\n new Annex in inserted listing the principles for a common methodology on\n calculating cost-optimal levels. This common methodology may refer to relevant\n European standards and shall, inter alia, reflect the different climatic\n conditions in different Member States and the likely change in these\n conditions over the lifetime of the building concerned, and and set out\n common assumptions or calculation methods for energy costs.
Existing buildings: Parliament added that Member States shall encourage, in\n relation to buildings undergoing major renovation, the following\n high-efficiency alternative systems being considered and taken into account:\n (a) decentralised energy supply systems based on energy from renewable\n sources; (b) cogeneration; (c) district or block heating or cooling, if\n available, particularly that based entirely or partially on energy from\n renewable sources; (d) heat pumps; (da) ICT equipment for monitoring\n and control purposes .
Technical building systems and building components: minimum energy performance requirements must\n be set in respect of building components and of technical building systems\n which are installed and brought into operation in buildings and which are not\n covered by Directive 2009/.../EC on eco-design requirements.
Smart meters must be installed in all new buildings and\n all buildings undergoing a major renovation. Whenever a meter is replaced,\n Member States shall encourage the installation of active control systems such\n as automation, control and monitoring systems, where appropriate.
Net zero energy buildings: this article replaces the article entitled “Buildings\n of which both carbon dioxide emissions and primary energy consumption are low\n or equal to zero.” Member States shall draw up national plans for increasing\n the number of net zero energy buildings.
Parliament states that Members States shall ensure that\n all new buildings are at least net zero energy buildings by 31 December\n 2016 at the latest. They shall set targets for the minimum percentage of\n buildings which shall be, by 2015 and by 2020 respectively, net zero energy\n buildings, measured as a percentage of the total number of buildings and as a\n percentage in relation to the total useful floor area.
Within 2 months of the communication of a national plan\n by a Member State, the Commission, taking full account of the subsidiary\n principle, may reject that plan, or any aspect thereof, on the basis that it\n does not respect all of the requirements of this Article. In this case, the Member State concerned shall propose amendments. The Commission shall establish a detailed\n common definition of net zero energy buildings by 31 December 2010 at the\n latest.
Financial Incentives and Market Barriers: a new clause states that Member States\n shall, by 30 June 2011, draw up national action plans, including proposed\n measures, for meeting the requirements laid down in the Directive through\n reducing existing legal and market barriers and developing existing and new\n financial and fiscal instruments to increase the energy efficiency of new and\n existing buildings.
Member States must compare their financial and fiscal\n instruments with the instruments listed in a new Annex IIIb and, without\n prejudice to national legislation, implement at least two measures from that\n Annex.
The Commission shall, by 30 June 2010 at the latest,\n following an impact assessment, bring forward appropriate legislative\n proposals to strengthen existing and propose additional Community financial\n instruments to support the implementation of the Directive. These proposals\n shall consider certain specified measures, including in the context of the\n revision of the ERDF Regulation for the next programming period, a\n significant increase of the maximum amount of the European Regional\n Development Fund allocation that may be used to support energy efficiency\n including district heating and cooling and renewable energy investments in\n housing and an extension of the eligibility of those projects; and the\n establishment of an Energy Efficiency Fund, based on contributions from the\n Community budget, the European Investment Bank and Member States to act as a\n leverage for increasing private and public investments for projects\n increasing energy efficiency of buildings, including renewable energy in\n buildings or building components, related to energy efficiency by 2020.
Energy performance certificate: energy performance certificate may for\n non-residential buildings, if appropriate, also include the actual annual\n energy that is consumed. When a building is sold or let in advance of\n construction, the seller shall provide an accurate written assessment of its\n future energy performance.
Public authorities, taking into account the leading role\n which they should play in the field of energy performance of buildings, shall\n implement the recommendations included in the energy performance certificate\n issued for buildings occupied by them.
The Commission shall adopt, by 30 June 2010, guidelines\n specifying minimum standards for the content, language and presentation of\n energy performance certificates. Each Member State shall recognise\n certificates issued in another Member State in accordance with these\n guidelines and shall not restrict the freedom to provide financial services\n for reasons relating to the certificate issued in that Member State.
In addition, Parliament states that by 2011, on the basis\n of information received from Member States and in consultation with the\n relevant sectors, a voluntary common European Union certification for\n the energy performance of non-residential buildings shall be developed\n through the Committee procedure. By 2012, Member States shall introduce the\n EU voluntary certification system in their countries to function alongside\n the national certification scheme.
A building owner may at any time request an accredited\n expert to produce, re-calculate and update an energy performance certificate,\n irrespective of whether the building is being constructed, refurbished,\n rented out or sold.
Parliament added some clauses to the provisions on inspection\n of air-conditioning systems, independent experts, and training.
Lastly, Parliament states that by 2010, the Commission\n shall establish a website, which shall contain certain information\n including the latest version of every Energy Efficiency Action Plan.
\nIn a public\n deliberation, the Council took note of the state of play and procedures concerning\n the so-called \"energy efficiency package\", which includes the\n following three proposals:
· \n an energy performance of buildings directive;
· \n an energy\n labelling directive;
· \n a regulation\n on labelling of tyres with respect to fuel efficiency.
The Council\n has been working intensively on the proposals and has already adopted the\n regulation on labelling of tyres and reached an informal agreement with the\n European Parliament on the two directives. Nevertheless, the entry into force\n of the Lisbon Treaty requires some adaptations mainly concerning the legal\n basis and the comitology provisions. Consultations are ongoing between the institutions\n on these issues.
The revised\n legislation on the energy performance of buildings provides in\n particular for:
· \n all new buildings must be nearly zero energy\n buildings by 2020 and for buildings occupied by public authorities by 2018. Member\n States should draw up national plans to increase the number of \"nearly zero\n energy buildings\", whose energy needs should to a very significant extent\n be covered by energy from renewable sources, including renewable energy produced\n on-site or nearby;
· \n the public sector should assume a leading\n role: public buildings with a total floor area over 500m2 and frequently\n visited by the public will have to display energy performance certificates\n visibly. In five years, this threshold will be lowered to 250 m2;
· \n minimum energy performance requirements for buildings or building units, in order to achieve a\n \"cost-optimal level\" (the energy performance level which leads to\n the lowest cost during the estimated economic life-cycle);
· \n minimum energy performance requirements when a\n major renovation is to be carried out in existing buildings or building\n units;
· \n regular inspections of heating and\n air-conditioning systems;
· \n independent control systems for energy\n performance certificates and inspection reports.
\nIn its first\n reading position, the Council has accepted 6 of the European Parliament’s amendments\n in full and 70 in part or in spirit. It has not been able to accept 21\n amendments.
In view of the\n tight timetable required in order to reach early agreement on this proposal\n as called for by the European Council, the Council aimed from the start at\n identifying elements that would be acceptable to both Parliament and Council,\n rather than drawing up a complete agreed Council position before entering\n into negotiations with Parliament. In order to make rapid progress while\n taking into account the date of entry into force of the Treaty on the Functioning\n of the EU, it was agreed to proceed in two steps:
a) \n reach agreement on the substance of the\n Directive. Following consultations with the European Parliament this first\n step was concluded in November 2009. This agreement was confirmed by Coreper\n on 19 November 2009 and on the level of the European Parliament’s Committee\n on Industry, Research and Energy, by means of a letter of its Chairman, dated\n 30 November 2009;
b) \n reach agreement on the modifications resulting for\n the entry into force of the TFEU, concerning notably the adaptation of the\n legal basis and the comitology provisions. Following consultations with the\n EP this second step was concluded in March 2010.
The Council\n position incorporates the two agreements recalled above. Its main elements\n are:
Provisions\n on financial instruments: a new Article entitled\n \"Financial incentives and market barriers\" and new recitals were\n introduced in order to place much more emphasis on the funding side of the\n energy efficiency of buildings.
Nearly zero\n energy buildings: as was done for other EU\n legislation in the climate/energy area, a \"2020 target\" was\n inserted which prescribes that all new buildings must be nearly zero energy buildings\n by 31 December 2020, that an intermediate target must be set for 2015, and\n that buildings occupied and owned by public authorities have to be nearly\n zero energy buildings after 31 December 2018, in line with the leading role that the public sector should play in this field.
Furthermore,\n Member States should develop policies for the transformation of existing\n buildings into nearly zero energy buildings. The Council could not accept to\n set binding targets for existing buildings.
Building\n elements: in the spirit of Parliament’s amendments\n the scope of the proposal was expanded to include building elements.
Energy\n performance certificates (issuing and display): as\n suggested by the European Parliament, the Council agreed to lower the\n threshold for the issuing of certificates for public buildings, to lower the\n threshold for the display of certificates in public buildings, and agreed to\n re-insert what it had deleted earlier, namely the requirement to display the\n energy performance indicator in advertisements.
Comparative\n methodology framework: the Council could not\n accept the European Parliament's request for a common methodology framework.\n On the other hand, it did accept the addition of a new Annex III proposed by\n Parliament which describes the content of the comparative methodology\n framework.
Furthermore,\n Council agreed to introduce a benchmarking system whereby Member States must\n justify significant differences between cost-optimal levels of minimum energy\n performance requirements and minimum energy performance requirements in\n force.
Review: the Council accepted the European Parliament's request for a\n review by the Commission; a compromise date of 1 January 2017 was agreed upon\n as deadline for this review.
Information: the Council proposed, in order to address several requests from\n the European Parliament related to the provision of information, to insert a\n new Article 20 in order to group together all information provisions.
\nThe Committee\n on Industry, Research and Energy adopted the recommendation for second\n reading contained in the report by Silvia-Adriana ŢICĂU (S&D,\n RO) on the Council's position at first reading for adopting a directive of\n the European Parliament and of the Council on the energy performance of buildings\n (recast).
The committee\n recommends that the European Parliament approve the Council’s position.
To recall, the\n common position is based on the political agreement reached in November 2009\n between the European Parliament and the Council on the technical aspects of\n the legislative proposal.
\nThe European\n Parliament adopted a resolution on the Council position at first reading with\n a view to the adoption of a directive of the European Parliament and of the\n Council on the energy performance of buildings (recast). It approved the\n Council’s position.
A draft\n Commission statement on financing for energy efficiency in buildings is\n annexed to the resolution.
In this\n statement, the Commission underlines the crucial role that financing\n instruments play for a successful transformation of the European building\n sector into an energy-efficient and low carbon one.
The Commission:
PURPOSE: to\n recast Directive 2002/91/EC to improve the energy performance of buildings.
LEGISLATIVE\n ACT: Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on\n the energy performance of buildings.
CONTENT: the aim of this Directive is to clarify, strengthen and extend the\n scope of Directive 2002/91/EC, as well as to reduce the large differences\n between Member States' practices in this sector. Its provisions cover energy\n needs for space and hot water heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting for\n new and existing, residential and non-residential buildings.
Buildings\n account for 40% of total energy consumption in the Union. The sector is\n expanding, which is bound to increase its energy consumption. Therefore,\n reduction of energy consumption and the use of energy from renewable sources\n in the buildings sector constitute important measures needed to reduce the\n Union’s energy dependency and greenhouse gas emissions.
Subject\n matter: the Directive promotes the improvement of\n the energy performance of buildings within the Union, taking into account\n outdoor climatic and local conditions, as well as indoor climate requirements\n and cost-effectiveness. It lays down requirements as regards:
The\n requirements laid down are minimum requirements and shall not prevent any\n Member State from maintaining or introducing more stringent measures, which\n must be notified to the Commission.
The main\n points of this recast Directive are as follows:
Nearly\n zero-energy buildings: by 31 December 2020, all\n new buildings must be nearly zero- energy buildings; and after 31 December\n 2018, new buildings occupied and owned by public authorities must be nearly\n zero-energy buildings. Member States must draw up national plans for\n increasing the number of nearly zero-energy buildings, which may include\n targets differentiated according to the category of building. ‘Nearly\n zero-energy building’ is defined as a building that has a very high energy\n performance, as determined in accordance with Annex I of the Directive. The\n nearly zero or very low amount of energy required should be covered to a very\n significant extent by energy from renewable sources, including energy from\n renewable sources produced on-site or nearby;
Leading\n role for the public sector: the public sector in each Member State should\n lead the way in the field of energy performance of buildings, and therefore\n the national plans should set more ambitious targets for the buildings\n occupied by public authorities. An energy performance\n certificate must be issued for: (a) buildings or building units which are\n constructed, sold or rented out to a new tenant; and (b) buildings where a\n total useful floor area over 500 m 2 is occupied by a public authority and\n frequently visited by the public. On 9 July 2015, this threshold of 500 m 2\n shall be lowered to 250 m 2 .The Directive notes that public authorities should\n lead by example and should endeavour to implement the recommendations\n included in the energy performance certificate. Member States should include\n within their national plans measures to support public authorities to become\n early adopters of energy efficiency improvements and to implement the\n recommendations included in the energy performance certificate as soon as\n feasible.
Setting of\n minimum energy performance requirements: minimum\n energy performance requirements for buildings or building units must be set\n with a view to achieving cost-optimal levels. This energy performance shall\n be calculated in accordance with the methodology referred to in the text.\n Cost-optimal levels shall be calculated in accordance with the comparative\n methodology framework once the framework is in place. The Commission should\n lay down a comparative methodology framework for calculating cost-optimal\n levels of minimum energy performance requirements. Member States should use\n this framework to compare the results with the minimum energy performance\n requirements which they have adopted. Should significant discrepancies, i.e.\n exceeding 15 %, exist between the calculated cost-optimal levels of minimum\n energy performance requirements and the minimum energy performance\n requirements in force, Member States should justify the difference or plan\n appropriate steps to reduce the discrepancy. The estimated economic lifecycle\n of a building or building element should be determined by Member States,\n taking into account current practices and experience in defining typical\n economic lifecycles. The results of this comparison and the data used to\n reach these results should be regularly reported to the Commission. These\n reports should enable the Commission to assess and report on the progress of\n Member States in reaching cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance\n requirements.
Major\n renovation: when\n buildings undergo major renovation, the energy performance of the building or\n the renovated part thereof must be upgraded in order to meet minimum energy\n performance requirements set in so far as this is technically, functionally\n and economically feasible. Those requirements shall be applied to the\n renovated building or building unit as a whole. Additionally or\n alternatively, requirements may be applied to the renovated building\n elements.
Regular\n inspections of heating and air-conditioning systems: there must be a regular inspection of\n the accessible parts of air-conditioning systems of an effective rated output\n of more than 12 kW. The inspection shall include an assessment of the\n air-conditioning efficiency and the sizing compared to the cooling\n requirements of the building. The assessment of the sizing does not have to\n be repeated as long as no changes were made to this air-conditioning system or\n as regards the cooling requirements of the building in the meantime. There\n must also be a regular inspection of the accessible parts of systems used for\n heating buildings, such as the heat generator, control system and circulation\n pump(s), with boilers of an effective rated output for space heating purposes\n of more than 20 kW. That inspection shall include an assessment of the boiler\n efficiency and the boiler sizing compared with the heating requirements of\n the building. The assessment of the boiler sizing does not have to be\n repeated as long as no changes were made to the heating system or as regards\n the heating requirements of the building in the meantime.
Independent\n control systems for energy performance certificates and inspection reports: there must be established independent\n control systems for energy performance certificates and reports on the\n inspection of heating and air-conditioning systems in accordance with Annex\n II. Member States may establish separate systems for the control of energy\n performance certificates and for the control of reports on the inspection of\n heating and air-conditioning systems.
ENTRY INTO\n FORCE: 08/07/25010.
TRANSPOSITION:\n 09/07/2012.
APPLICATION:\n certain provisions apply from 09/01/2013 and others from 09/07/2013.
\nPURPOSE: to\n recast Directive 2002/91/EC to improve the energy performance of buildings.
PROPOSED ACT: Directive\n of the European Parliament and of the Council.
BACKGROUND: the\n energy consumption of buildings varies enormously. Whilst new buildings may\n need less than 3 to 5 litres of heating oil or equivalent per square meter\n floor area and year, the existing buildings stock consumes, on average, about\n 25 litres per square meter, some buildings even up to 60 litres. Available construction products and installation technologies can drastically improve the\n building's energy performance – and so reduce its energy consumption – and\n create net benefits: the annual energy cost savings are exceeding the annual\n capital costs for the investments. The best moment for energy improvements is\n when buildings are constructed or renovated.
The existing\n Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (2002/91/EC) is a key element to improve\n buildings' energy performance. Some Member States have made promising\n progress in recent years, but the majority still have an enormous untapped\n potential for improvements. To this end, the Commission sees further room for\n strengthening the effectiveness and the impact of this Directive.
CONTENT: in the proposal the objectives\n and main principles of the current EPBD are retained and the role of Member\n States in setting up the concrete requirements is also the same as in the current\n EPBD. The administrative burdens are kept to a minimum, but developed in\n order to achieve maximum effect. It is crucial that the current EPBD be\n properly implemented and on time. This proposal should not be an excuse to\n delay implementation of the current Directive.
The proposal clarifies, strengthens and extends the scope of the\n current EPBD's provisions by;
The Commission will continue to help Member States\n implementing this Directive, like with the information service\n \"Buildings Platform\". In 2009, the Commission will launch a major\n “Build-up” initiative to increase the awareness of the whole chain from\n authorities, to construction industry and citizens on the saving\n opportunities. New financing schemes are introduced to overcome investment\n barriers.
According to the Commission, the macroeconomic estimated\n impacts are also significant: 5-6% less energy will be used in EU in 2020\n (which equals the total current consumption of Belgium and Romania) and about 5% less CO2 emissions will be emitted in the whole EU in 2020.
\nThe Committee on Industry, Research and Energy\n adopted the report drawn up by Silvia-Adriana ŢICAU (PES, RO) amending,\n under the first reading of codecision procedure, the proposal for a directive\n of the European Parliament and of the Council on the energy performance of\n buildings (recast).
The main amendments\n are as follows:
Subject\n matter: the subject matter of the Directive\n should include a reference to the cost-optimal calculation methodology, as\n well as to minimum performance requirements for building components and\n technical building systems, and to their application in new and existing\n buildings. Targets for net zero energy buildings are an important\n element of the recast. Education, training and mutual recognition\n requirements between Member States for certifiers of the energy performance\n of buildings and for inspectors of heating and air-conditioning systems\n should be included.
Member States\n should establish national plans for eliminating obstacles under building,\n tenancy and heritage protection laws and for creating financial incentives.
Definitions: the committee inserted definitions for \"new building\",\n \"parts of a building” “net zero energy building” \"energy from\n renewable sources\" \"building component\", “energy poverty”. It\n amended the definition for “major renovation.”
Adoption of\n methodology: rather than Member States, the text\n states that the Commission shall, after consulting the relevant stakeholders\n and in particular representatives from local, regional and national\n authorities, establish by 31 March 2010 a common methodology of calculation of the energy performance of buildings, in accordance with the general\n framework set out in Annex I. The energy performance of buildings shall be\n expressed in a transparent manner and shall include an indicator for CO2\n emissions and for primary energy demand.
Setting\n minimum energy performance requirements: as from\n 30 June 2012 Member States shall only provide incentives for the construction\n or major renovation of buildings or parts thereof, including building\n components, the results of which comply at least with minimum energy\n performance requirements achieving the results of the calculation referred to\n in the text.
Calculation\n of cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements: a new Annex in inserted listing the principles for a common methodology\n on calculating cost-optimal levels. This common methodology may refer to\n relevant European standards and shall, inter alia, set out common assumptions\n or calculation methods for energy costs.
Technical\n building systems: smart meters must be installed\n in all new buildings and all buildings undergoing a major renovation and\n whenever a meter is replaced, and shall encourage the installation of active\n control systems such as automation, control and monitoring systems, where\n appropriate.
Net zero\n energy buildings: this article replaces the\n article entitled “Buildings of which both carbon dioxide emissions and\n primary energy consumption are low or equal to zero.” The committee\n stipulates that Members States shall ensure that all new buildings are at\n least net zero energy buildings by 31 December 2018 at the latest. Member\n States shall set targets for the minimum percentage of buildings which shall\n be, by 2015 and by 2020 respectively, net zero energy buildings. The\n Commission shall establish a detailed common definition of net zero energy\n buildings by 31 December 2010 at the latest.
Financial\n Incentives and Market Barriers: a new clause\n states that Member States shall, by 30 June 2011, draw up national action\n plans, including proposed measures, for meeting the requirements laid down in\n the Directive through reducing existing legal and market barriers and\n developing existing and new financial and fiscal instruments to increase the\n energy efficiency of new and existing buildings.
Member States\n must compare their financial and fiscal instruments with the instruments\n listed in a new Annex IIIb and, without prejudice to national legislation,\n implement at least two measures from that Annex.
The Commission\n shall, by 30 June 2010 at the latest, following an impact assessment, bring\n forward appropriate legislative proposals to strengthen existing and propose\n additional Community financial instruments to support the implementation of\n the Directive. These proposals shall consider certain specified measures,\n including an increase of the maximum amount of the European Regional\n Development Fund allocation to at least 15% of the total allocation; and the\n establishment of an Energy Efficiency Fund.
Energy\n performance certificate: all building owners\n should have the right to initiate or revise an EPC at any time, using\n different experts if they disagree with the recommendations provided
Public\n authorities, taking into account the leading role which they should play in\n the field of energy performance of buildings, shall implement the\n recommendations included in the energy performance certificate issued for\n buildings occupied by them within its validity period.
The committee\n provided for the mutual recognition of certificates.
Information: Member States shall ensure that local and regional authorities\n are involved in the development of programmes to provide information and\n training and to raise awareness. Suitable guidance and training must also be\n made available for those responsible for implementing this Directive through\n planning and enforcement of building standards.
By 2010, the\n Commission shall establish a website, which shall contain certain\n specified information, inter alia, the latest version of every Energy\n Efficiency Action Plan.
\nThe European Parliament adopted by 549 votes to 51, with\n 26 abstentions, a legislative resolution amending, under the first reading of\n the codecision procedure, the proposal for a directive of the European\n Parliament and of the Council on the energy performance of buildings\n (recast).
The main amendments were as follows:
Subject matter: the subject matter of the Directive should include a\n reference to the cost-optimal calculation methodology, as well as to minimum\n performance requirements for building components and technical building\n systems, and to their application in new and existing buildings. Targets for\n net zero energy buildings are an important element of the recast. Education,\n training and mutual recognition requirements between Member States for\n certifiers of the energy performance of buildings and for inspectors of\n heating and air-conditioning systems should be included.
Definitions: Parliament inserted definitions for \"new building”, “parts of a\n building” “net zero energy building” \"energy from renewable\n sources\" \"building component\", “energy poverty” and\n \"lighting design\". It amended the definition for “major\n renovation.”
Adoption of methodology: rather than Member States, the text states that the\n Commission shall, after consulting the relevant stakeholders and in\n particular representatives from local, regional and national authorities,\n establish by 31 March 2010 a common methodology of calculation of the energy\n performance of buildings, in accordance with the general framework set out in\n Annex I. The energy performance of buildings shall be expressed in a\n transparent manner and shall include an indicator for primary energy demand.
Setting minimum energy performance requirements: as from 30 June 2012 Member States shall\n only provide incentives for the construction or major renovation of buildings\n or parts thereof, including building components, the results of which comply\n at least with minimum energy performance requirements achieving the results\n of the calculation referred to in the text. Member States shall review their\n minimum energy performance requirements and ensure that these requirements\n achieve at least the results of the calculation referred to in the text no\n later than 30 June 2015. Member States shall provide subsidies and technical\n advice for historic buildings or centres to undertake specific programmes for\n adaptation to energy efficiency. Systems for the production of energy and\n insulation measures located in historic centres shall be subject to visual\n impact assessments.
Calculation of cost-optimal levels of minimum energy\n performance requirements: a\n new Annex in inserted listing the principles for a common methodology on\n calculating cost-optimal levels. This common methodology may refer to relevant\n European standards and shall, inter alia, reflect the different climatic\n conditions in different Member States and the likely change in these\n conditions over the lifetime of the building concerned, and and set out\n common assumptions or calculation methods for energy costs.
Existing buildings: Parliament added that Member States shall encourage, in\n relation to buildings undergoing major renovation, the following\n high-efficiency alternative systems being considered and taken into account:\n (a) decentralised energy supply systems based on energy from renewable\n sources; (b) cogeneration; (c) district or block heating or cooling, if\n available, particularly that based entirely or partially on energy from\n renewable sources; (d) heat pumps; (da) ICT equipment for monitoring\n and control purposes .
Technical building systems and building components: minimum energy performance requirements must\n be set in respect of building components and of technical building systems\n which are installed and brought into operation in buildings and which are not\n covered by Directive 2009/.../EC on eco-design requirements.
Smart meters must be installed in all new buildings and\n all buildings undergoing a major renovation. Whenever a meter is replaced,\n Member States shall encourage the installation of active control systems such\n as automation, control and monitoring systems, where appropriate.
Net zero energy buildings: this article replaces the article entitled “Buildings\n of which both carbon dioxide emissions and primary energy consumption are low\n or equal to zero.” Member States shall draw up national plans for increasing\n the number of net zero energy buildings.
Parliament states that Members States shall ensure that\n all new buildings are at least net zero energy buildings by 31 December\n 2016 at the latest. They shall set targets for the minimum percentage of\n buildings which shall be, by 2015 and by 2020 respectively, net zero energy\n buildings, measured as a percentage of the total number of buildings and as a\n percentage in relation to the total useful floor area.
Within 2 months of the communication of a national plan\n by a Member State, the Commission, taking full account of the subsidiary\n principle, may reject that plan, or any aspect thereof, on the basis that it\n does not respect all of the requirements of this Article. In this case, the Member State concerned shall propose amendments. The Commission shall establish a detailed\n common definition of net zero energy buildings by 31 December 2010 at the\n latest.
Financial Incentives and Market Barriers: a new clause states that Member States\n shall, by 30 June 2011, draw up national action plans, including proposed\n measures, for meeting the requirements laid down in the Directive through\n reducing existing legal and market barriers and developing existing and new\n financial and fiscal instruments to increase the energy efficiency of new and\n existing buildings.
Member States must compare their financial and fiscal\n instruments with the instruments listed in a new Annex IIIb and, without\n prejudice to national legislation, implement at least two measures from that\n Annex.
The Commission shall, by 30 June 2010 at the latest,\n following an impact assessment, bring forward appropriate legislative\n proposals to strengthen existing and propose additional Community financial\n instruments to support the implementation of the Directive. These proposals\n shall consider certain specified measures, including in the context of the\n revision of the ERDF Regulation for the next programming period, a\n significant increase of the maximum amount of the European Regional\n Development Fund allocation that may be used to support energy efficiency\n including district heating and cooling and renewable energy investments in\n housing and an extension of the eligibility of those projects; and the\n establishment of an Energy Efficiency Fund, based on contributions from the\n Community budget, the European Investment Bank and Member States to act as a\n leverage for increasing private and public investments for projects\n increasing energy efficiency of buildings, including renewable energy in\n buildings or building components, related to energy efficiency by 2020.
Energy performance certificate: energy performance certificate may for\n non-residential buildings, if appropriate, also include the actual annual\n energy that is consumed. When a building is sold or let in advance of\n construction, the seller shall provide an accurate written assessment of its\n future energy performance.
Public authorities, taking into account the leading role\n which they should play in the field of energy performance of buildings, shall\n implement the recommendations included in the energy performance certificate\n issued for buildings occupied by them.
The Commission shall adopt, by 30 June 2010, guidelines\n specifying minimum standards for the content, language and presentation of\n energy performance certificates. Each Member State shall recognise\n certificates issued in another Member State in accordance with these\n guidelines and shall not restrict the freedom to provide financial services\n for reasons relating to the certificate issued in that Member State.
In addition, Parliament states that by 2011, on the basis\n of information received from Member States and in consultation with the\n relevant sectors, a voluntary common European Union certification for\n the energy performance of non-residential buildings shall be developed\n through the Committee procedure. By 2012, Member States shall introduce the\n EU voluntary certification system in their countries to function alongside\n the national certification scheme.
A building owner may at any time request an accredited\n expert to produce, re-calculate and update an energy performance certificate,\n irrespective of whether the building is being constructed, refurbished,\n rented out or sold.
Parliament added some clauses to the provisions on inspection\n of air-conditioning systems, independent experts, and training.
Lastly, Parliament states that by 2010, the Commission\n shall establish a website, which shall contain certain information\n including the latest version of every Energy Efficiency Action Plan.
\nIn a public\n deliberation, the Council took note of the state of play and procedures concerning\n the so-called \"energy efficiency package\", which includes the\n following three proposals:
· \n an energy performance of buildings directive;
· \n an energy\n labelling directive;
· \n a regulation\n on labelling of tyres with respect to fuel efficiency.
The Council\n has been working intensively on the proposals and has already adopted the\n regulation on labelling of tyres and reached an informal agreement with the\n European Parliament on the two directives. Nevertheless, the entry into force\n of the Lisbon Treaty requires some adaptations mainly concerning the legal\n basis and the comitology provisions. Consultations are ongoing between the institutions\n on these issues.
The revised\n legislation on the energy performance of buildings provides in\n particular for:
· \n all new buildings must be nearly zero energy\n buildings by 2020 and for buildings occupied by public authorities by 2018. Member\n States should draw up national plans to increase the number of \"nearly zero\n energy buildings\", whose energy needs should to a very significant extent\n be covered by energy from renewable sources, including renewable energy produced\n on-site or nearby;
· \n the public sector should assume a leading\n role: public buildings with a total floor area over 500m2 and frequently\n visited by the public will have to display energy performance certificates\n visibly. In five years, this threshold will be lowered to 250 m2;
· \n minimum energy performance requirements for buildings or building units, in order to achieve a\n \"cost-optimal level\" (the energy performance level which leads to\n the lowest cost during the estimated economic life-cycle);
· \n minimum energy performance requirements when a\n major renovation is to be carried out in existing buildings or building\n units;
· \n regular inspections of heating and\n air-conditioning systems;
· \n independent control systems for energy\n performance certificates and inspection reports.
\nIn its first\n reading position, the Council has accepted 6 of the European Parliament’s amendments\n in full and 70 in part or in spirit. It has not been able to accept 21\n amendments.
In view of the\n tight timetable required in order to reach early agreement on this proposal\n as called for by the European Council, the Council aimed from the start at\n identifying elements that would be acceptable to both Parliament and Council,\n rather than drawing up a complete agreed Council position before entering\n into negotiations with Parliament. In order to make rapid progress while\n taking into account the date of entry into force of the Treaty on the Functioning\n of the EU, it was agreed to proceed in two steps:
a) \n reach agreement on the substance of the\n Directive. Following consultations with the European Parliament this first\n step was concluded in November 2009. This agreement was confirmed by Coreper\n on 19 November 2009 and on the level of the European Parliament’s Committee\n on Industry, Research and Energy, by means of a letter of its Chairman, dated\n 30 November 2009;
b) \n reach agreement on the modifications resulting for\n the entry into force of the TFEU, concerning notably the adaptation of the\n legal basis and the comitology provisions. Following consultations with the\n EP this second step was concluded in March 2010.
The Council\n position incorporates the two agreements recalled above. Its main elements\n are:
Provisions\n on financial instruments: a new Article entitled\n \"Financial incentives and market barriers\" and new recitals were\n introduced in order to place much more emphasis on the funding side of the\n energy efficiency of buildings.
Nearly zero\n energy buildings: as was done for other EU\n legislation in the climate/energy area, a \"2020 target\" was\n inserted which prescribes that all new buildings must be nearly zero energy buildings\n by 31 December 2020, that an intermediate target must be set for 2015, and\n that buildings occupied and owned by public authorities have to be nearly\n zero energy buildings after 31 December 2018, in line with the leading role that the public sector should play in this field.
Furthermore,\n Member States should develop policies for the transformation of existing\n buildings into nearly zero energy buildings. The Council could not accept to\n set binding targets for existing buildings.
Building\n elements: in the spirit of Parliament’s amendments\n the scope of the proposal was expanded to include building elements.
Energy\n performance certificates (issuing and display): as\n suggested by the European Parliament, the Council agreed to lower the\n threshold for the issuing of certificates for public buildings, to lower the\n threshold for the display of certificates in public buildings, and agreed to\n re-insert what it had deleted earlier, namely the requirement to display the\n energy performance indicator in advertisements.
Comparative\n methodology framework: the Council could not\n accept the European Parliament's request for a common methodology framework.\n On the other hand, it did accept the addition of a new Annex III proposed by\n Parliament which describes the content of the comparative methodology\n framework.
Furthermore,\n Council agreed to introduce a benchmarking system whereby Member States must\n justify significant differences between cost-optimal levels of minimum energy\n performance requirements and minimum energy performance requirements in\n force.
Review: the Council accepted the European Parliament's request for a\n review by the Commission; a compromise date of 1 January 2017 was agreed upon\n as deadline for this review.
Information: the Council proposed, in order to address several requests from\n the European Parliament related to the provision of information, to insert a\n new Article 20 in order to group together all information provisions.
\nThe Committee\n on Industry, Research and Energy adopted the recommendation for second\n reading contained in the report by Silvia-Adriana ŢICĂU (S&D,\n RO) on the Council's position at first reading for adopting a directive of\n the European Parliament and of the Council on the energy performance of buildings\n (recast).
The committee\n recommends that the European Parliament approve the Council’s position.
To recall, the\n common position is based on the political agreement reached in November 2009\n between the European Parliament and the Council on the technical aspects of\n the legislative proposal.
\nThe European\n Parliament adopted a resolution on the Council position at first reading with\n a view to the adoption of a directive of the European Parliament and of the\n Council on the energy performance of buildings (recast). It approved the\n Council’s position.
A draft\n Commission statement on financing for energy efficiency in buildings is\n annexed to the resolution.
In this\n statement, the Commission underlines the crucial role that financing\n instruments play for a successful transformation of the European building\n sector into an energy-efficient and low carbon one.
The Commission:
PURPOSE: to\n recast Directive 2002/91/EC to improve the energy performance of buildings.
LEGISLATIVE\n ACT: Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on\n the energy performance of buildings.
CONTENT: the aim of this Directive is to clarify, strengthen and extend the\n scope of Directive 2002/91/EC, as well as to reduce the large differences\n between Member States' practices in this sector. Its provisions cover energy\n needs for space and hot water heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting for\n new and existing, residential and non-residential buildings.
Buildings\n account for 40% of total energy consumption in the Union. The sector is\n expanding, which is bound to increase its energy consumption. Therefore,\n reduction of energy consumption and the use of energy from renewable sources\n in the buildings sector constitute important measures needed to reduce the\n Union’s energy dependency and greenhouse gas emissions.
Subject\n matter: the Directive promotes the improvement of\n the energy performance of buildings within the Union, taking into account\n outdoor climatic and local conditions, as well as indoor climate requirements\n and cost-effectiveness. It lays down requirements as regards:
The\n requirements laid down are minimum requirements and shall not prevent any\n Member State from maintaining or introducing more stringent measures, which\n must be notified to the Commission.
The main\n points of this recast Directive are as follows:
Nearly\n zero-energy buildings: by 31 December 2020, all\n new buildings must be nearly zero- energy buildings; and after 31 December\n 2018, new buildings occupied and owned by public authorities must be nearly\n zero-energy buildings. Member States must draw up national plans for\n increasing the number of nearly zero-energy buildings, which may include\n targets differentiated according to the category of building. ‘Nearly\n zero-energy building’ is defined as a building that has a very high energy\n performance, as determined in accordance with Annex I of the Directive. The\n nearly zero or very low amount of energy required should be covered to a very\n significant extent by energy from renewable sources, including energy from\n renewable sources produced on-site or nearby;
Leading\n role for the public sector: the public sector in each Member State should\n lead the way in the field of energy performance of buildings, and therefore\n the national plans should set more ambitious targets for the buildings\n occupied by public authorities. An energy performance\n certificate must be issued for: (a) buildings or building units which are\n constructed, sold or rented out to a new tenant; and (b) buildings where a\n total useful floor area over 500 m 2 is occupied by a public authority and\n frequently visited by the public. On 9 July 2015, this threshold of 500 m 2\n shall be lowered to 250 m 2 .The Directive notes that public authorities should\n lead by example and should endeavour to implement the recommendations\n included in the energy performance certificate. Member States should include\n within their national plans measures to support public authorities to become\n early adopters of energy efficiency improvements and to implement the\n recommendations included in the energy performance certificate as soon as\n feasible.
Setting of\n minimum energy performance requirements: minimum\n energy performance requirements for buildings or building units must be set\n with a view to achieving cost-optimal levels. This energy performance shall\n be calculated in accordance with the methodology referred to in the text.\n Cost-optimal levels shall be calculated in accordance with the comparative\n methodology framework once the framework is in place. The Commission should\n lay down a comparative methodology framework for calculating cost-optimal\n levels of minimum energy performance requirements. Member States should use\n this framework to compare the results with the minimum energy performance\n requirements which they have adopted. Should significant discrepancies, i.e.\n exceeding 15 %, exist between the calculated cost-optimal levels of minimum\n energy performance requirements and the minimum energy performance\n requirements in force, Member States should justify the difference or plan\n appropriate steps to reduce the discrepancy. The estimated economic lifecycle\n of a building or building element should be determined by Member States,\n taking into account current practices and experience in defining typical\n economic lifecycles. The results of this comparison and the data used to\n reach these results should be regularly reported to the Commission. These\n reports should enable the Commission to assess and report on the progress of\n Member States in reaching cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance\n requirements.
Major\n renovation: when\n buildings undergo major renovation, the energy performance of the building or\n the renovated part thereof must be upgraded in order to meet minimum energy\n performance requirements set in so far as this is technically, functionally\n and economically feasible. Those requirements shall be applied to the\n renovated building or building unit as a whole. Additionally or\n alternatively, requirements may be applied to the renovated building\n elements.
Regular\n inspections of heating and air-conditioning systems: there must be a regular inspection of\n the accessible parts of air-conditioning systems of an effective rated output\n of more than 12 kW. The inspection shall include an assessment of the\n air-conditioning efficiency and the sizing compared to the cooling\n requirements of the building. The assessment of the sizing does not have to\n be repeated as long as no changes were made to this air-conditioning system or\n as regards the cooling requirements of the building in the meantime. There\n must also be a regular inspection of the accessible parts of systems used for\n heating buildings, such as the heat generator, control system and circulation\n pump(s), with boilers of an effective rated output for space heating purposes\n of more than 20 kW. That inspection shall include an assessment of the boiler\n efficiency and the boiler sizing compared with the heating requirements of\n the building. The assessment of the boiler sizing does not have to be\n repeated as long as no changes were made to the heating system or as regards\n the heating requirements of the building in the meantime.
Independent\n control systems for energy performance certificates and inspection reports: there must be established independent\n control systems for energy performance certificates and reports on the\n inspection of heating and air-conditioning systems in accordance with Annex\n II. Member States may establish separate systems for the control of energy\n performance certificates and for the control of reports on the inspection of\n heating and air-conditioning systems.
ENTRY INTO\n FORCE: 08/07/25010.
TRANSPOSITION:\n 09/07/2012.
APPLICATION:\n certain provisions apply from 09/01/2013 and others from 09/07/2013.
