Proposal for a directive
Recital 14

(14) As part of the measures set out in the Commission's Communication New Deal for Energy Consumers, in the context of the Energy Union and the Heating and Cooling strategy, consumers' minimum rights to clear and timely information about their energy consumption need to be strengthened. Articles 9 to 11 and Annex VII of Directive 2012/27/EU should be amended to provide for frequent and enhanced feedback on energy consumption. It should also clarified that rights relating to billing and billing information apply for consumers of heating, cooling or hot water supplied from a central source even where they have no direct, individual contractual relationship with an energy supplier. Therefore, for the purposes of these provisions, the term 'final user', should cover final customers purchasing heating, cooling or hot water for their own use as well as occupants of individual units of multi-apartment or multi-purpose buildings where such units are supplied from a central source and the installation of heat meters and heat cost allocators is technically and economically feasible. The term 'sub-metering' should refer to measuring consumption in individual units of such buildings. By 1 January 2020 newly installed heat meters and heat cost allocators should be remotely readable to ensure cost-effective, frequent provision of consumption information, while protecting the personal data of final users. The new Article 9a is intended to apply only to heating, cooling and hot water supplied from a central source.

(15) Certain provisions of Article 15 of Directive 2012/27/EU on energy transformation, transmission and distribution should be ~~repealed~~ aligned with the relevant electricity market provisions. The review of the acquis in the energy field may result in Member States' obligations under the different energy related acts being structured differently. This restructuring should not affect Member States' obligation to comply with the substantive requirements of Directive 2012/27/EU ~~which may be reintroduced, completely or partially, in other acts~~.

(16) Reflecting technological progress and the growing share of renewable energy sources in the electricity generation sector~~, the default~~ in certain Member States, the coefficient for savings in kWh electricity shin those could be reviewed in order to reflect changes in the primary energy factor (PEF) for electricity, reflecting the real energy mix of the relevant Member State, by way of a comparable and transparent methodology. Calculations of the PEF for electricity are based on annual average values. The Physical energy content accounting method is used for nuclear electricity and heat generation and the Technical conversion efficiency method is used for electricity and heat generation from fossil fuels and biomass. For non- combustible renewable energy, the method is the direct equivalent based on the Total primary energy approach. To calculate the primary energy share for electricity in CHP the method set out in Annex II of Directive 2012/27/EU is applied. An average market position is used rather than a marginal one. Conversion efficiencies are assumed to be 100 % for non-combustible renewables, 10 % for geothermal power stations and 33 % for nuclear power stations. Total efficiency for cogeneration is calculated based on the most recent data from Eurostat. As for system boundaries the PEF is 1 for all energy sources. Calculations are based on the most recent version of the PRIMES Reference Scenario. The PEF value is based on the projection for 2020. The analysis covers the EU Member States and Norway. The dataset for Norway is based on ENTSO-E data.

Without prejudice to Article 7 of Directive 2010/31/EU, each Member State shall ensure that, as from 1 January 2014, 3 % of the total floor area of heated and/or cooled buildings owned ~~and occupied~~ by its central government is renovated each year to meet at least the minimum energy performance requirements that it has set in application of Article 4 of Directive 2010/31/EU. The 3 % rate shall be calculated on the total floor area of buildings with a total useful floor area over 500 m 2 owned ~~and occupied~~ by the central government of the Member State concerned that, on 1 January of each year, do not meet the national minimum energy performance requirements set in application of Article 4 of Directive 2010/31/EU. That threshold shall be lowered to 250 m2 as of 9 July 2015. Where a Member State requires that the obligation to renovate each year 3 % of the total floor area extends to floor area owned ~~and occupied~~ by administrative departments at a level below central government, the 3 % rate shall be calculated on the total floor area of buildings with a total useful floor area over 500 m 2 and, as of 9 July 2015, over 250 m 2 owned ~~and occupied~~ by central government and by these administrative departments of the Member State concerned that, on 1 January of each year, do not meet the national minimum energy performance requirements set in application of Article 4 of Directive 2010/31/EU. When implementing measures for the comprehensive renovation of central government buildings in accordance with the first subparagraph, Member States may choose to consider the building as a whole, including the building envelope, equipment, operation and maintenance. Member States shall require that central government buildings with the poorest energy performance be a priority for energy efficiency measures, where cost- effective and technically feasible. 2. Member States may decide not to set or apply the requirements referred to in paragraph 1 to the following categories of buildings: a) buildings officially protected as part of a designated environment, or because of their special architectural or historical merit, in so far as compliance with certain minimum energy performance requirements would unacceptably alter their character or appearance; b) buildings owned by the armed forces or central government and serving national defence purposes, apart from single living quarters or office buildings for the armed forces and other staff employed by national defence authorities; c) buildings used as places of worship and for religious activities. 3. If a Member State renovates more than 3 % of the total floor area of central government buildings in a given year, it may count the excess towards the annual renovation rate of any of the three previous or following years. 4. Member States may count towards the annual renovation rate of central government buildings new buildings ~~occupied and~~ owned as replacements for specific central government buildings demolished in any of the two previous years, or buildings that have been sold, demolished or taken out of use in any of the two previous years due to more intensive use of other buildings. 5. For the purposes of paragraph 1, by 31 December 2013, Member States shall establish and make publicly available an inventory of heated and/or cooled central government buildings with a total useful floor area over 500 m2 and, as of 9 July 2015, over 250 m2, excluding buildings exempted on the basis of paragraph 2. The inventory shall contain the following data: a) the floor area in m 2; and b) the energy performance of each building or relevant energy data. 6. Without prejudice to Article 7 of Directive 2010/31/EU, Member States may opt for an alternative approach to paragraphs 1 to 5 of this Article, whereby they take other cost-effective measures, including deep renovations and measures for behavioural change of occupants, to achieve, by 2020, an amount of energy savings in eligible buildings owned ~~and occupied~~ by their central government that is at least equivalent to that required in paragraph 1, reported on an annual basis. For the purpose of the alternative approach, Member States may estimate the energy savings that paragraphs 1 to 4 would generate by using appropriate standard values for the energy consumption of reference central government buildings before and after renovation and according to estimates of the surface of their stock. The categories of reference central government buildings shall be representative of the stock of such buildings. Member States opting for the alternative approach shall notify to the Commission, by 31 December 2013, the alternative measures that they plan to adopt, showing how they would achieve an equivalent improvement in the energy performance of the buildings within the central government estate. 7. Member States shall encourage public bodies, including at regional and local level, and social housing bodies governed by public law, with due regard for their respective competences and administrative set-up, to: a) adopt an energy efficiency plan, freestanding or as part of a broader climate or environmental plan, containing specific energy ~~saving and~~ efficiency objectives and actions, with a view to following the exemplary role of central government buildings laid down in paragraphs 1, 5 and 6; b) put in place an energy management system, including energy audits, as part of the implementation of their plan; c) use, where appropriate, energy service companies, and energy performance contracting to finance renovations and implement plans to maintain or improve energy efficiency in the long term.”

(3a) The Commission and the Member States will need to ensure that the reduction in energy consumption results from greater energy efficiency and not macro-economic circumstances. The main focus of this Directive should be to achieve real energy efficiency gains, regardless of macro-economic circumstances. Therefore flexibility should be foreseen for key influencing parameters such as economic growth, variations of industrial production, structural changes of the economy and climate, in order to maintain the energy efficiency ambition level and avoid a cap on industrial growth.

(4) TCurrently, there are no binding targets at national level in the 2030 perspective. The need for the Union to achieve its energy efficiency targets at EU level, expressed in primary and final energy consumption, in 2020 and 2030 should be clearly set out in the form of a binding 340 % target. This clarification at Union level should not restrict Member States as their freedom is kept to ~~set their national contributions based on either~~apply measures and schemes of their choice. Member States set their national targets in both primary orand final energy ~~consumption, primary or final energy savings, or energy intensity. Member States should set their national indicative energy efficiency contributions~~terms, at least equal to or below the energy consumption level set out in Annex Va. The Member States national energy efficiency target setting should tak~~ing~~e into account that the Union’s 2030 energy consumption has to be no more than 1 1321 Mtoe of primary energy and no more than ~~987~~846 Mtoe of final energy. ~~This means that primary energy consumption should be reduced by 23 % and final energy consumption should be reduced by 17 % in the Union compared to 2005 levels.~~ A regular evaluation of progress towards the achievement of the Union 2030 target is necessary and is provided for in the legislative proposal on Energy Union Governance.

(5a) Local authorities play a crucial role in enabling the implementation of energy efficiency measures and schemes by engaging in ambitious energy savings through local action plans such as in the framework of the Covenant of Mayors for climate and energy. Data from local action plans, such as the energy efficiency policies and measures outlined in more than 5000 sustainable energy and climate action plans, can effectively contribute in co-designing new measures and schemes and to achieve national efficiency targets. Together with other stakeholders from industry, social partners, civil society representatives and the public at large, local, regional and national authorities should be part of a permanent stakeholder dialogue on energy efficiency and savings policies.

(6a) Energy efficiency improvements also have a positive impact on air quality, as more energy efficient buildings reduce the demand in heating fuels, especially also solid heating fuels. Therefore, energy efficiency measures contribute to improving in- and outdoor air quality and help achieving, in a cost effective manner, objectives of Union’s air quality policy, as established in particular by the Directive (EU) 2016/2284 (the “Air Quality Directive”)1a. The reduction of energy demand in buildings should be considered an element of air quality policy in general and especially in Member States where achieving the Union’s limits on emissions of air pollutants is problematic and energy efficiency could help attain these goals. __________________ 1aDirective (EU) 2016/2284 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2016 on the reduction of national emissions of certain atmospheric pollutants, amending Directive 2003/35/EC and repealing Directive 2001/81/EC (OJ L 344, 17.12.2016, p. 1- 31)

(9) New savings should be additional to business as usual, so that savings that would have occurred in any event may not be claimed. In order to calculate the impact of measures introduced only net savings, measured as the change of energy consumption that is directly attributable to the energy efficiency measure in question, may be counted. To calculate net savings Member States should establish a baseline scenario of how the situation would evolve in the absence of the ~~policy~~measure in question. The policy intervention should be evaluated against this defined baseline. Member States should take into account that other policy interventions may be undertaken in the same time frame which may also have an impact on energy savings, so that not all changes observed since the introduction of the policy intervention being evaluated can be attributed to that policy measure only. The actions of the obligated, participating or entrusted party should actually contribute to the achievement of the savings claimed to ensure the fulfilment of the materiality requirement.

(10) Energy savings which result from the implementation of Union legislation may ~~not be claimed~~only be claimed if they stem from new policy measures, whether introduced after 31 December 2020 or before, provided it can be demonstrated that those measures result in new individual actions that are undertaken after 31 December 2020 and deliver new savings; or unless the measure in question goes beyond the minimum required by the Union legislation in question, whether by setting more ambitious energy efficiency requirements at national level or increasing the take up of the measure. Recognising that renovation of buildings is an essential and long term element in increasing energy savings, it is necessary to clarify that all energy savings stemming from measures promoting the renovation of existing buildings can be claimed if they are additional to developments that would have happened in the absence of the policy measure and if the Member State demonstrates that the obligated, participating or entrusted party has actually contributed to the achievement of the savings claimed from the measure in question.

(10a) Effective water management can contribute significantly to energy saving. The water sector uses nearly 3.5% of electricity in the Union1a. Treatment and transport of water using pumping and pressure systems powered by electric motors consume much energy. Water demand is expected to increase by 25% by 2040, primarily in towns. At the same time, water leaks account for 24% of the total quantity of water consumed in Europe, wasting energy as well as water. Consequently, any measures geared to managing water more efficiently and reducing its use would help to attain the Union’s energy efficiency target. _______________ 1aWorld Energy Outlook 2016, International Energy Agency, 2016

(3a) The Commission and the Member States should ensure that the reduction in energy consumption results from greater energy efficiency and not from macro- economic circumstances. The main focus of this Directive is to achieve real energy efficiency gains, regardless of the macro- economic circumstances. Therefore flexibility in the calculation of the target should be provided for key influencing para-meters such as economic growth, technological developments, variations of industrial production, structural changes of the economy and significant climate variations, in order to maintain a level of energy efficiency ambition and avoid a cap on in-dustrial growth.

Recital 3 a (new)

(3a) The large surplus of allowances in the Union Emissions Trading System, due to economic downturn, influx of international carbon credits and over allocation, has resulted in a weak ETS allowance price. The carbon price is not projected to increase in the foreseeable future to a level that would sufficiently incentivise improvement in energy saving and renewable energy, and energy efficiency projects face non-economic barriers which cannot be overcome through pricing instruments only. It is thus necessary to maintain specific measures and a stable long-term framework at Union level for energy saving investments.

(5a) Together with other stakeholders from industry, social partners, civil society representatives and the public at large, local, regional and national authorities - such as the Covenant of Mayors representing more than 7,000 EU local authorities - should be part of a permanent stakeholder dialogue on energy efficiency and savings policies. Local authorities play a crucial role in enabling the implementation of energy efficiency measures and schemes by engaging in ambitious energy savings through local action plans such as in the framework of the Covenant of Mayors for climate and energy. Data from local action plans, such as the energy efficiency policies and measures outlined in more than 5000 sustainable energy and climate action plans, can effectively contribute in co-designing new measures and schemes and to achieve national efficiency targets.

(6) In view of the commitments made under the Paris Agreement in December 2015 and the climate and energy framework for 2030, the energy savings obligation should be extended beyond 2020. Extending the commitment period with a long term vision beyond 2020 would create greater stability for investors and thus encourage long term investments and long term energy efficiency measures, such as the renovation of buildings. In addition, a long term vision would stimulate the energy efficiency markets, which will have a positive effect on achieving the climate and energy goals. Cooperation with the private sector is important to assess on which conditions private investment for energy efficiency projects can be unlocked and to develop new revenue models for innovation in the field of energy efficiency.

(6a) Energy efficiency improvements also have a positive impact on air quality, as more energy efficient buildings reduce the demand in heating fuels, especially also solid heating fuels. Therefore energy efficiency measures contribute to improving in- and outdoor air quality and help achieving, in a cost effective manner, the objectives of Union’s air quality policy, as established in particular by the Air Quality Directive 1a. The reduction of energy demand in buildings should be considered an element of air quality policy, in general and especially in Member States where achieving Union’s limits on emissions of air pollutants is problematic and energy efficiency could help attain these goals. __________________ 1aDirective (EU) 2016/2284 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2016 on the reduction of national emissions of certain atmospheric pollutants, amending Directive 2003/35/EC and repealing Directive 2001/81/EC (OJ L 344, 17.12.2016, p. 1- 31)

(14) As part of the measures set out in the Commission's Communication New Deal for Energy Consumers, in the context of the Energy Union and the Heating and Cooling strategy, consumers' minimum rights to clear and timely information about their energy consumption need to be strengthened. Articles 9 to 11 and Annex VII of Directive 2012/27/EU should be amended to provide for frequent and enhanced feedback on energy consumption when this is technically feasible and cost- efficient in view of the measurement devices in place. The cost-efficiency of sub-metering depends on whether the related costs are proportionate in relation to the potential energy savings. It should also be clarified that rights relating to billing and billing or consumption information apply for consumers of heating, cooling or hot water supplied from a central source even where they have no direct, individual contractual relationship with an energy supplier. The term 'final customer' should be understood to include only natural or legal persons purchasing energy based on a direct, individual contract with an energy supplier. Therefore, for the purposes of these provisions, the term 'final user', ~~should cover~~in addition to final customers purchasing heating, cooling or hot water for their own use ~~as well a~~covers occupants of individual units of multi-apartment or multi-purpose buildings where such units are supplied from a central source and where the occupants have no direct or individual contract with the energy supplier. The term 'sub- metering' should refer to measuring consumption in individual units of such buildings.

Data on consumption and costs can also convey other information that helps consumers to compare their current deal with other offers and resort to complaint management and dispute resolutions. However, considering that bill-related disputes are a very common source of consumer complaints, a factor which contributes to persistently low levels of consumer satisfaction and engagement in the energy sector, it is necessary to make bills simpler, clearer and easier to understand, while ensuring that separate instruments, such as billing information, information tools and annual statements, provide all the necessary information to enable consumers to regulate their energy consumption, compare offers and switch suppliers.

Having in mind the EU reindustrialisation goal, the modernisation of existing and the development of new industry self- generation capacities based on RES and CHP as well as industrial energy storage shall be incentivised. As industry self- generation has strategic potential to build energy-efficient, distributed energy systems in the nearby regions, it should not be subject to disproportionately burdensome procedures and public law obligations, discriminatory network charges and, if necessary, should be exempted from the cost of support systems.

Calculations of the PEF for electricity are based on annual average values. The Physical energy content accounting method is used for nuclear electricity and heat generation and the Technical conversion efficiency method is used for electricity and heat generation from fossil fuels and biomass. For non- combustible renewable energy, the method is the direct equivalent based on the Total primary energy approach. To calculate the primary energy share for electricity in CHP the method set out in Annex II of Directive 2012/27/EU is applied. An average market position is used rather than a marginal one. Conversion efficiencies are assumed to be 100 % for non-combustible renewables, 10 % for geothermal power stations and 33 % for nuclear power stations. Total efficiency for cogeneration is calculated based on the most recent data from Eurostat. As for system boundaries the PEF is 1 for all energy sources. Calculations are based on the most recent version of the PRIMES Reference Scenario. The PEF value is based on the projection for 2020. The analysis covers the EU Member States and Norway.

The Physical energy content accounting method is used for nuclear electricity and heat generation and the Technical conversion efficiency method is used for electricity and heat generation from fossil fuels and biomass; however, the direct equivalent accounting method can be used for nuclear electricity and head generation if justified on national level. For non-combustible renewable energy, the method is the direct equivalent based on the Total primary energy approach. To calculate the primary energy share for electricity in CHP the method set out in Annex II of Directive 2012/27/EU is applied. An average market position is used rather than a marginal one. Conversion efficiencies are assumed to be 100 % for non-combustible renewables, 10 % for geothermal power stations and 33 % for nuclear power stations. Total efficiency for cogeneration is calculated based on the most recent data from Eurostat. As for system boundaries the PEF is 1 for all energy sources. Calculations are based on the most recent version of the PRIMES Reference Scenario. The PEF value is based on the projection for 2020. The analysis covers the EU Member States and Norway. The dataset for Norway is based on ENTSO-E data.

(16a) The European Council pointed out, in its conclusions of 10 June 2011 on the Energy Efficiency Plan (10709/11), that buildings account for 40 % of the EU’s primary energy consumption, which represents 50 % of its final energy, and that, to enable economic growth and encourage employment in sectors requiring special qualifications, i.e. construction and the construction product manufacturing sector, as well as in professional activities such as architecture, urban planning, and heating and cooling technology advisory services, the Member States should establish a post-2020 strategy in these fields, mobilising funds for investment in mass thermal-modernisation of buildings and for the construction of new, zero-carbon buildings.

Amendment 238 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 16 a (new)

(16a) The primary energy factor (PEF) should be used as a tool to reduce the consumption of and dependency on fossil fuels and increase energy efficiency as well as the further expansion of renewable energy resources. In this regard, the default coefficient for savings in kWh electricity should be adapted when technological, economic or social developments demonstrate the need for a lower default coefficient. The Commission should analyse, and if appropriate, present a legislative proposal to adapt the default coefficient of the primary energy factor (PEF) by 2024.

(18) In order to be able to evaluate the effectiveness of Directive 2012/27/EU, a requirement for a general review of the Directive and a report to the European Parliament and the Council by 28 February 2024 should be introducedEnergy and climate law is complementary and should be mutually reinforcing. Thus, as part of the obligations under the Paris Agreement, within six months of the UNFCCC global stocktake in 2023 the Commission should undertake a general review of the Directive and a report to the European Parliament and the Council should be introduced assessing the general effectiveness of Directive 2012/27/EU and the need to adjust the Union's energy efficiency policy according to the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Such a review should be undertaken in subsequent global stocktakes thereafter.

(20a) Whereas workplaces are primary sites for the development and implementation of the measures proposed, and workers engagement and participation in energy efficiency programmes is therefore crucial for their success. To ensure implementation, involvement of workers through social dialogue in the formulation of policy and the development of skills and education programmes is of paramount importance, as well as measures ensuring good working conditions and health and security at work. National Energy Efficiency Funds (NEEFs), as provided for in Article 20 of Directive 2012/27/EU, should therefore remain oriented towards these objectives.

Proposal for a directive
Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 2 a (new)

Directive 2012/27/EU
Article 5

(2a) Article 5 shall be amended as follows: “Article 5 Exemplary role of public bodies' buildings 1. Without prejudice to Article 7 of Directive 2010/31/EU, each Member State shall ensure that, as from 1 January 2014, 3 % of the total floor area of heated and/or cooled buildings owned and occupied by ~~its central government~~public authorities is renovated each year to meet at least the minimum energy performance requirements that it has set in application of Article 4 of Directive 2010/31/EU. The 3 % rate shall be calculated on the total floor area of buildings with a total useful floor area over 2500 m 2 owned and occupied by the central government of the Member State concerned that, on 1 January of each year, do not meet the national minimum energy performance requirements set in application of Article 4 of Directive 2010/31/EU. That threshold shall be lowered to 250 m 2 as of 9 July 2015. Where a Member State requires that the obligation to renovate each year 3 % of the total floor area extends to floor area owned and occupied by administrative departments at a level below central government, the 3 % rate shall be calculated on the total floor area of buildings with a total useful floor area over 500 m 2 and, as of 9 July 2015, over 250 m 2 owned and occupied by central government and by these administrative departmentpublic authorities of the Member State concerned that, on 1 January of each year, do not meet the national minimum energy performance requirements set in application of Article 4 of Directive 2010/31/EU. When implementing measures for the comprehensive renovation of ~~central government~~public authority buildings in accordance with the first subparagraph, Member States may choose to consider the building as a whole, including the building envelope, equipment, operation and maintenance. Member States shall require that ~~central government~~public authority buildings with the poorest energy performance be a priority for energy efficiency measures, where cost- effective and technically feasible. 2. Member States may decide not to set or apply the requirements referred to in paragraph 1 to the following categories of buildings: (a) buildings officially protected as part of a designated environment, or because of their special architectural or historical merit, in so far as compliance with certain minimum energy performance requirements would unacceptably alter their character or appearance; (b) buildings owned by the armed forces or central government and serving national defence purposes, apart from single living quarters or office buildings for the armed forces and other staff employed by national defence authorities; (c) buildings used as places of worship and for religious activities. 3. If a Member State renovates more than 3 % of the total floor area of central government buildings in a given year, it may count the excess towards the annual renovation rate of any of the three previous or following years. 4. Member States may count towards the annual renovation rate of ~~central government~~public authority buildings new buildings occupied and owned as replacements for specific ~~central government~~public authority buildings demolished in any of the two previous years, or buildings that have been sold, demolished or taken out of use in any of the two previous years due to more intensive use of other buildings. 5. For the purposes of paragraph 1, by 31 December 2013, Member States shall establish and make publicly available an inventory of heated and/or cooled ~~central government~~public authority buildings with a total useful floor area ~~over 500 m 2 and, as of 9 July 2015,~~ over 250 m 2 , excluding buildings exempted on the basis of paragraph 2. The inventory shall contain the following data: (a) the floor area in m 2 ; and (b) the energy performance of each building or relevant energy data. 6. Without prejudice to Article 7 of Directive 2010/31/EU, Member States may opt for an alternative approach to paragraphs 1 to 5 of this Article, whereby they take other cost- effective measures, including deep renovations and measures for behavioural change of occupants, to achieve, by 2020, an amount of energy savings in eligible buildings owned and occupied by their ~~central government~~public authorities that is at least equivalent to that required in paragraph 1, reported on an annual basis. For the purpose of the alternative approach, Member States may estimate the energy savings that paragraphs 1 to 4 would generate by using appropriate standard values for the energy consumption of ~~reference central government~~public authorities buildings before and after renovation and according to estimates of the surface of their stock. The categories of reference ~~central government~~public authority buildings shall be representative of the stock of such buildings. Member States opting for the alternative approach shall notify to the Commission, by 31 December 2013, the alternative measures that they plan to adopt, showing how they would achieve an equivalent improvement in the energy performance of the buildings within the ~~central government~~public authorities estate. 7. Member States shall encourage public bodies, including at regional and local level, and social housing bodies governed by public law, with due regard for their respective competences and administrative set-up, to: (a) adopt an energy efficiency plan, freestanding or as part of a broader climate or environmental plan, containing specific energy saving and efficiency objectives and actions, with a view to following the exemplary role of ~~central government~~public authority buildings laid down in paragraphs 1, 5 and 6; (b) put in place an energy management system, including energy audits, as part of the implementation of their plan; (c) use, where appropriate, energy service companies, and energy performance contracting to finance renovations and implement plans to maintain or improve energy efficiency in the long term.”
