The European Parliament adopted by 370 votes to 199, with 46 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the energy performance of buildings (recast).
The European Parliament's position adopted at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure amends the proposal as follows:
Subject matter
The proposed Directive promotes the improvement of the energy performance of buildings and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from buildings within the Union, with a view to achieving a zero-emission building stock by 2050, taking into account the outdoor climatic conditions, the local conditions, the requirements for indoor environmental quality, and cost-effectiveness.
Members stated that the Directive lays down requirements as regards: (i) the calculation and disclosure of the life-cycle global warming potential of buildings; (ii) solar energy in buildings; (iii) the indoor environmental quality performance of buildings.
New buildings
Member States should ensure that new buildings are zero-emission buildings: (i) from 1 January 2028 , new buildings owned by public bodies; and (ii) from 1 January 2030 , all new buildings.
Member States should ensure that the life-cycle global warming potential (GWP) is calculated in accordance with Annex III and disclosed in the energy performance certificate of the building: (i) from 1 January 2028, for all new buildings with a useful floor area larger than 1000 m2; (ii) from 1 January 2030, for all new buildings.
Minimum energy performance standards for non-residential buildings and trajectories for progressive renovation of the residential building stock
Each Member State should: (i) set a maximum energy performance threshold to the effect that 16 % of its national non-residential building stock is above that threshold; (ii) set a maximum energy performance threshold to the effect that 26 % of its national non-residential building stock is above that threshold.
The minimum energy performance standards should ensure, at least, that all non-residential buildings are below the 16 % threshold from 2030 ; and the 26 % threshold from 2033 . Compliance of individual non-residential buildings with the thresholds should be checked on the basis of energy performance certificates or, where appropriate, other available means.
Member States should ensure that at least 55 % of the decrease in the average primary energy use is achieved through the renovation of the 43 % worst-performing residential buildings .
Member States may decide not to apply the minimum energy performance standards to the following categories of building: (a) buildings officially protected as part of a designated environment or because of their special architectural or historical merit , or other heritage buildings; (b) buildings owned by the armed forces or central government and serving national defence purposes.
Solar energy in buildings
Member States should ensure the deployment of suitable solar energy installations, if technically suitable and economically and functionally feasible, as follows:
(a) by 31 December 2026, on all new public and non-residential buildings with useful floor area larger than 250 m2;
(b) on all existing public buildings with useful floor area larger than: (i) 2 000 m2, by 31 December 2027; (ii) 750 m2, by 31 December 2028; (iii) 250 m2, by 31 December 2030;
(c) by 31 December 2027, on existing non-residential buildings with useful floor area larger than 500 m2, where the building undergoes a major renovation or an action that requires an administrative permit for building renovations, works on the roof or the installation of a technical building system;
(d) by 31 December 2029, on all new residential buildings and on all new roofed car parks physically adjacent to buildings.
Zero-emission buildings
According to the amended text, a zero-emission building should not cause any on-site carbon emissions from fossil fuels .
In order to decarbonise the building sector, Member States should indicate their national policies and measures to phase out fossil fuels in heating and cooling in their national building renovation plans. They should strive to phase out stand-alone boilers powered by fossil fuels, and, as a first step, they should not provide, from 2025, financial incentives for the installation of stand-alone boilers powered by fossil fuels. It should still be possible to provide financial incentives for the installation of hybrid heating systems with a considerable share of renewable energy, such as the combination of a boiler with solar thermal or with a heat pump.
Renovation passport
By 2 years from the date of entry into force of this Directive, Member States should introduce a scheme for renovation passports. The scheme should be of voluntary use by owners of buildings and building units, unless the Member State decides to make it mandatory.
Member States should take measures to ensure that renovation passports are affordable and should consider whether to provide financial support to vulnerable households wishing to renovate their buildings.
Infrastructure for sustainable mobility
With regard to new non-residential buildings with more than five car parking spaces and non-residential buildings undergoing major renovation, with more than five car parking spaces, Member States should ensure: (i) the installation of at least one recharging point for every five car parking spaces; (ii) the installation of pre-cabling for at least 50 % of car parking spaces; (iii) the provision of bicycle parking spaces representing at least 15 % of average or 10 % of total user capacity of non-residential buildings.
One-stop shops for the energy performance of buildings
Member States should ensure the establishment and the operation of technical assistance facilities, including through inclusive one-stop shops for the energy performance of buildings, targeting all actors involved in building renovations, inter alia home owners and administrative, financial and economic actors, such as SMEs, including microenterprises.
The European Parliament adopted by 343 votes to 216, with 78 abstentions, amendments to the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the energy performance of buildings (recast).
The issue was referred back to the committee responsible for inter-institutional negotiations.
The proposal to revise the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive aims to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption of buildings in the EU by 2030 and to make buildings climate neutral by 2050.
Requirements
Members stipulated that the Directive lays down requirements as regards: (i) a harmonised framework for assessing the life-cycle global warming potential; (ii) solar energy in buildings; (iii) the phasing out of fossil fuel use in buildings; (iv) nature-based solutions that reinforce the good use and adaptation of the public space surrounding the buildings with elements such as wood materials, greens roofs and facades; (v) the indoor environmental quality performance of buildings.
Members clarified the definition of ‘ deep renovation ’ to mean a renovation in line with the energy efficiency first principle and efforts to reduce whole life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions generated during the renovation, which focuses on essential building items, such as wall insulation, roof insulation, low floor insulation, replacement of external joinery, ventilation and heating or heating systems and treatment of thermal bridges, to ensure the necessary comfort of the occupants in summer and winter or a renovation resulting in a reduction of at least 60 % primary energy demand for worst-performing buildings for which it is technically and economically not feasible to achieve a zero-emission building standard, and which transforms a building or building unit: (a) before 1 January 2027, into a nearly zero-energy building; (b) from 1 January 2027, into a zero-emission building.
National building renovation plan
Each Member State should establish a national building renovation plan complying with the energy efficiency first principle and should encompass:
- a roadmap with established targets and measurable progress indicators set at national level. The roadmap would include indicative national targets to achieve the deep renovation of at least 35 million building units by 2030 to support reaching an annual energy renovation rate of 3 % or more for the period till 2050;
- a detailed roadmap up to 2050 of the investment needs for the implementation of the building renovation plan, public and private financing sources and measures, and the administrative resources for building renovation;
- a roadmap on the reduction of energy poverty and energy savings achieved among vulnerable households and people living in social housing comprising of nationally established targets and an overview of implemented and planned policies and funding measures supporting the elimination of energy poverty.
An integrated district approach to building renovation
Member States may empower regional and local authorities to identify integrated districts to roll-out integrated renovation programmes (IRPs) at district level. Member States should implement local level integrated mobility plans and sustainable urban mobility plans that are aligned with IRPs and encompass public transport planning and deployment with other means of active and shared mobility, as well as the related infrastructure for operating, recharging, storing and parking.
New buildings
Member States should ensure that new buildings are zero-emission buildings: (i) from 1 January 2026 for new buildings occupied, operated or owned by public authorities; and (ii) from 1 January 2028 for all new buildings.
No later than 24 months after the date of entry into force, new buildings should have optimal indoor environmental quality levels, including air quality, thermal comfort, a high capacity to mitigate and adapt to climate change through, inter alia , green infrastructure, adhere to fire safety and safety lighting standards and give priority to accessibility for persons with disabilities.
Member States should ensure that the use of fossil fuels in heating systems , for new buildings and buildings undergoing major renovation, major refurbishment or renovation of the heating system, is not authorised from the date of transposition of the directive. They should be completely phased out by 2035, unless the European Commission allows their use until 2040.
Minimum energy performance standards
Member States should ensure that all buildings meet minimum energy performance standards, starting with the worst performing buildings.
Residential buildings would have to achieve at least energy performance class E by 2030, and D by 2033 . Non-residential and public buildings would have to achieve the same classes by 2027 and 2030 respectively (Commission proposed F and E). Member States should exempt public social housing from these obligations where such renovations are not cost-neutral or would lead to rent increases for people living in social housing that go beyond the savings in energy bills. To take account of the diversity of the building stock in different European countries, the letter G will correspond to the 15% worst performing buildings in the national building stock. Member States may decide not to set or not to apply the requirements to buildings officially protected as part of a designated environment or because of their special architectural or historical merit requiring due conservation, or other heritage buildings.
The Commission could decide to allow a Member State to adapt the minimum energy performance standards for residential buildings and building units for reasons of economic and technical feasibility and availability of skilled workforce.
Solar energy in buildings
Member States should ensure the deployment of suitable solar energy installations, if technically suitable and economically and functionally feasible, as follows: (a) by 24 months after the date of entry into force], on all new public and new non-residential buildings; (b) by 31 December 2026 , on all existing public and non-residential buildings; (c) by 31 December 2028 , on all new residential buildings and roofed carparks; (d) by 31 December 2032 , on all buildings undergoing major renovation.
Financial incentives
Member States should provide appropriate financing and support measures in combination with other Union instruments such as the Recovery and Resilience Facility, the Social Climate Fund and the cohesion policy funds. Financial incentives in the form of grants or guarantees shall take revenue-based parameters into account when allocating financial support to ensure that they target as a priority vulnerable households and people living in social housing.
One-stop-shops
The amended text stressed that one-stop shops could play an important role in connecting potential projects with market actors, including citizens, public authorities and project developers, in particular smaller-scale projects as well as guidance on permit procedures, promoting access to funding for building renovation, and helping to disseminate information on terms and conditions.
One-stop shops are also important to encourage citizens to start renovation projects by providing advice and research options, facilitating the search for contractors, helping to navigate through tenders and quotations, and providing support during the renovations.
The Committee on Industry, Research and Energy adopted the report by Ciarán CUFFE (Greens/EFA, IE) on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the energy performance of buildings (recast).
The committee responsible recommended that the European Parliament's position adopted at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure should amend the proposal as follows:
Subject matter
This Directive promotes the improvement of the energy performance of buildings and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from buildings within the Union, with a view to achieving a zero-emission building stock by 2050 , taking into account the outdoor climatic conditions, the local conditions, the requirements for indoor environmental quality and the contribution of the building stock to demand-side flexibility for the purpose of improving energy system efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
It is stipulated that the Directive lays down requirements as regards: (i) a harmonised framework for assessing the life-cycle global warming potential; (ii) solar energy in buildings; (iii) the phasing out of fossil fuel use in buildings; (iv) nature-based solutions that reinforce the good use and adaptation of the public space surrounding the buildings with elements such as wood materials, greens roofs and facades; (v) the indoor environmental quality performance of buildings.
National building renovation plan
Each Member State should establish a national building renovation plan complying with the energy efficiency first principle and should encompass: (i) specific timelines for all existing buildings to achieve higher energy performance classes by 2030, 2040 and 2050; (ii) a detailed roadmap up to 2050 of the investment needs for the implementation of the building renovation plan, public and private financing sources and measures, and the administrative resources for building renovation; (iii) a roadmap on the reduction of energy poverty and energy savings achieved among vulnerable households and people living in social housing comprising of nationally established targets and an overview of implemented and planned policies and funding measures supporting the elimination of energy poverty.
An integrated district approach to building renovation
Member States may empower regional and local authorities to identify integrated districts in order to roll-out integrated renovation programmes (IRPs) at district level. The IRPs should address social pattern, energy, mobility, green infrastructures, waste and water treatment, and management and other aspects of urban planning to be considered at a district level, and shall take into account local and regional resources, circularity and sufficiency.
New buildings
Member States should ensure that new buildings are zero-emission buildings: (i) from 1 January 2026 for new buildings occupied, operated or owned by public authorities; and (ii) from 1 January 2028 for all new buildings.
No later than 24 months after the date of entry into force, new buildings should have optimal indoor environmental quality levels, including air quality, thermal comfort, a high capacity to mitigate and adapt to climate change through, inter alia, green infrastructure, adhere to fire safety and safety lighting standards.
Member States should ensure that the use of fossil fuels in heating systems , for new buildings and buildings undergoing major renovation, major refurbishment or renovation of the heating system, is not authorised from the date of transposition of the directive. They should be completely phased out by 2035, unless the European Commission allows their use until 2040.
Minimum energy performance standards
Member States should ensure that all buildings meet minimum energy performance standards, starting with the worst performing buildings.
Residential buildings would have to achieve at least energy performance class E by 2030, and D by 2033 . Non-residential and public buildings would have to achieve the same classes by 2027 and 2030 respectively (Commission proposed F and E). Member States should exempt public social housing from these obligations where such renovations are not cost-neutral or would lead to rent increases for people living in social housing that go beyond the savings in energy bills. To take account of the diversity of the building stock in different European countries, the letter G will correspond to the 15% worst performing buildings in the national building stock. Member States should put in place a framework to ensure that a sufficient and skilled workforce is available to enable the timely implementation of minimum energy performance standards in accordance with national building renovation plans.
Solar energy in buildings
Member States should ensure the deployment of suitable solar energy installations, if technically suitable and economically and functionally feasible, as follows: (a) by 24 months after the date of entry into force], on all new public and new non-residential buildings; (b) by 31 December 2026 , on all existing public and non-residential buildings; (c) by 31 December 2028 , on all new residential buildings and roofed carparks; (d) by 31 December 2032 , on all buildings undergoing major renovation.
Financial incentives
Member States should provide appropriate financing and support measures in combination with other Union instruments such as the Recovery and Resilience Facility, the Social Climate Fund and the cohesion policy funds.
The application and procedures for financing should be simple and streamlined in order to facilitate the access to financing for households. Public financing should address up-front costs associated with renovations faced by households. Member States should also facilitate the access to affordable bank loans, dedicated credit lines, or fully publicly financed renovations.
Financial incentives in the form of grants or guarantees shall take revenue-based parameters into account when allocating financial support to ensure that they target as a priority vulnerable households and people living in social housing.
One-stop-shops
The amended text stressed that one-stop shops could play an important role in connecting potential projects with market actors, including citizens, public authorities and project developers, in particular smaller-scale projects as well as guidance on permit procedures, promoting access to funding for building renovation, and helping to disseminate information on terms and conditions.
Member States should ensure the establishment of technical assistance facilities, including through inclusive one-stop-shops for energy efficiency in buildings, targeting all actors involved in building renovations, including homeowners and administrative, financial and economic actors, including microenterprises and SMEs.
PURPOSE: to revise the energy performance of buildings Directive in order to make sure that buildings are fit for the enhanced climate ambition.
PROPOSED ACT: Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council.
ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.
BACKGROUND: the revision of Directive 2010/31/EU on the energy performance of buildings Directive (EPBD) is part of the 2021 Commission Work Programme ‘ Fit for 55 ’ package which sets the vision for achieving a zero-emission building stock by 2050. The proposal is particularly important because buildings account for 40% of energy consumed and 36% of energy-related direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions. In the EU, heating, cooling and domestic hot water account for 80% of the energy that households consume. Making Europe more resilient calls for renovation of EU buildings, making them more energy efficient and less dependent on fossil fuels. Renovation is key for reducing the energy consumption of buildings, for bringing down emissions and for reducing energy bills.
Directive 2010/31/EU on the energy performance of buildings has been substantially amended several times. Since further amendments are to be made, that Directive should be recast in the interests of clarity.
CONTENT: the proposal aims to revise the energy performance of buildings Directive with a view to reducing buildings’ greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and final energy consumption by 2030 and setting a long-term vision for buildings towards EU-wide climate neutrality in 2050. The proposal’s specific objectives include: (i) to increase the rate and depth of buildings renovations and (ii) to improve information on energy performance and sustainability of buildings.
The main measures in the new proposal concern:
- setting the vision for achieving a zero-emission building stock by 2050 and to reflect a new complementary carbon metric to orient choices towards decarbonised solutions;
- a new definition of zero-emission building is introduced to mean a building with a very high energy performance in line with the energy efficiency first principle, and where the very low amount of energy still required is fully covered by energy from renewable sources at the building or district or community level where technically feasible (notably those generated on-site, from a renewable energy community or from renewable energy or waste heat from a district heating and cooling system).
- For new buildings , the Commission proposes that from 2030 all new buildings should be zero-emission. All new public buildings should be zero emission from 2027;
- For existing buildings , new EU-wide minimum energy performance standards are proposed, which require the worst performing 15% of the building stock in each Member State to be upgraded from at least energy efficiency class G to class F, by 2027 for non-residential buildings and by 2030 for residential buildings;
- national building renovation plans (previously named long-term renovation strategies) are made more operational. Each Member State should establish a national building renovation plan to ensure the renovation of the national stock of residential and non-residential buildings, both public and private, into a highly energy efficient and decarbonised building stock by 2050, with the objective to transform existing buildings into zero-emission buildings. National building renovation plans should be fully integrated into national energy and climate plans;
- the methodology for calculating the energy performance of buildings is updated to clarify the possible use of metered energy use to calculate energy performance, and verify the correctness of calculated energy use;
- the setting of minimum energy performance requirements is amended to adapt the previously possible total exemption of protected buildings to technical progress, which allows improving the energy performance of such buildings without altering their technical character and appearance;
- the introduction of voluntary renovation passports would provide homeowners with a tool to facilitate a staged renovation towards zero emissions and the corresponding planning. Member States should introduce a scheme of renovation passports based on the common framework to be developed by the Commission by the end of 2024;
- the provision of stronger provisions on the removal of obstacles and barriers to renovation , and on the mobilisation of financial incentives with one-stop-shops accessible to all building ecosystem’s stakeholders, so that all barriers to building renovation, not only the costs, are addressed and Member States promote appropriate training. No financial incentives should be given for the installation of fossil fuel boilers from 2027 and Member States would have the legal possibility to ban the use of fossil fuels in buildings;
- the reliability, quality and digitalisation of Energy Performance Certificates would be increased. The obligation to have an energy performance certificate would be extended to buildings undergoing major renovation, to buildings whose lease contracts are renewed and to all public buildings. Buildings offered for sale or rent would also have to have a certificate. By 2025, all certificates should be based on a harmonised scale from A to G;
- financial support which should be provided to alleviate energy poverty and to support social housing, and to shield tenants from disproportionate rent levels following renovation;
- pre-cabling should become the norm for all new buildings and buildings undergoing major renovation, and the roll-out of recharging points in new and renovated office buildings is reinforced in particular. Mandatory bicycle parking spaces in new buildings and buildings undergoing major renovation are introduced.
Review clause
The proposal sets the date for the next review at the end of 2027, at the latest. The Commission will assess whether measures under EU law, including carbon pricing, will bring sufficient improvements to deliver a fully decarbonised, zero-emission building stock by 2050, or whether further binding measures at Union level such as strengthened minimum energy performance need to be introduced.

Amendment 103 #
Proposal for a directive – The Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety calls on the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy, as the committee responsible, to reject the Commission proposal.
Amendment 104 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 2 (2) Under the Paris Agreement, adopted in December 2015 under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), its Parties have agreed to hold the increase in the global average temperature well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1,5 °C above pre-industrial levels. By adopting the Glasgow Climate Pact in November 2021, its Parties recognised that keeping the increase in the global average temperature to 1,5°C above pre- industrial levels would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change, and committed to strengthen their 2030 targets by the end of 2022 in order to accelerate climate action in this critical decade and to close the ambition gap with the 1,5°C target. Reaching the objectives of the Paris Agreement is at the core of the Commission Communication on “The European Green Deal” of 11 December 201929 . The Union committed itself to reduce the Union’s economy-wide net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 % by 2030 below 1990 levels in the updated nationally determined contribution submitted to the UNFCCC Secretariat on 17 December 2020.
Amendment 105 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 2 (2) Under the Paris Agreement, adopted in December 2015 under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), its Parties have agreed to hold the increase in the global average temperature well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1,5 °C above pre-industrial levels. Reaching the objectives of the Paris Agreement is at the core of the Commission Communication on “The European Green Deal” of 11 December 201929 . The Union committed itself to reduce the Union’s economy-wide net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 % by 2030 below 1990 levels in the updated nationally determined contribution submitted to the UNFCCC Secretariat on 17 December 2020
Amendment 106 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 2 a (new) (2a) Climate change is a challenge that transcends borders and requires immediate and ambitious action. The transition to a climate-neutral economy by 2050 represents a great opportunity as well as a challenge for the Union, its Member States, citizens and business from every sector. To this aim, cohesion policy is a crucial tool in delivering a fair transition to a climate-neutral economy by leaving no one behind.
Amendment 107 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 3 (3) As announced in the Green Deal, the Commission presented its Renovation Wave strategy on 14 October 202030 . The strategy contains an action plan with concrete regulatory, financing and enabling measures, with the objective to at least double the annual energy renovation rate of buildings by 2030 and to foster deep
Amendment 108 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 3 a (new) (3a) It is acknowledged that this revision comes shortly after the previous review process, at a stage where several Member States are still transposing some of the elements of the current Directive. The revision might be designed in such a way as to limit, where possible, excessive bureaucratic burden to Member States' operators and to guarantee a smooth transition to the newer elements and objectives contained in the recast.
Amendment 109 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 4 (4) Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of the European Parliament and of the Council31 , the ‘European Climate Law’, enshrines the target of economy-wide climate neutrality by 2050 in legislation and establishes a binding Union domestic reduction commitment of net greenhouse gas emissions (emissions after deduction of removals) of at least 55 % below 1990 levels by 2030. The climate emergency, the surge in fossil-based energy prices (“fossil inflation”), the acute geopolitical need to significantly reduce the Union energy dependence and speed up the energy transition call for increased ambition. According to the International Energy Agency more than 40% of the necessary greenhouse gas emission reductions including methane emissions will need to be delivered through energy efficiency measures. Investments in energy efficiency is a key element of the REPowerEU Plan and the economy benefits for every EUR 1 million invested in buildings renovation, 18 jobs are created on average in the Union. Building renovation measures in line with the renovation wave objectives could cut energy bills of gas-heated households by over EUR 400 per year by 2030. A crucial part of maximising the energy efficiency potential will be the deep renovation of the Union building stock. __________________ 31 Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of the

Amendment 111 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 5 (5) The “Fit for 55” legislative package announced in the European Commission 2021 Work Programme aims to implement those objectives. It covers a range of policy areas including energy efficiency, renewable energy, land use, land change and forestry, energy taxation, effort sharing, emissions trading and alternative fuels infrastructure. The revision of Directive 2010/31/EU is an integral part of that package. As the energy efficiency first principle is at the core of a more circular economy system, the Commission should pay greater attention to the building sector which accounts for more than 40% of final energy consumption in the Union, not to mention that 75% of Union buildings are still energy-inefficient. By better integrating circularity in the building sector, the infrastructures and technical capabilities of a building in an overall holistic approach would secure longer life spans as well as lower energy consumption, while setting concrete decarbonisation and depollution pathways for this sector.

Amendment 114 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 5 a (new) (5a) The dilemma between affordable housing and climate protection requires technological neutrality and the innovative power of business and science. The price signal of carbon emission trading unleashes competition and guides action so that emission reduction takes place where it is most cost-effective, thus reducing the overall cost of the climate transition for the Union and its citizens. Under the European Green Deal, the Commission therefore proposed revising Directive 2003/87/EC (EU-ETS) to expand carbon emissions trading to road transport and buildings, with the view of aiming for a carbon price signal for the whole economy. This inclusion of buildings in emissions trading has the potential to replace costly and ineffective regulatory requirements for energy efficiency in buildings in the long term.
Amendment 115 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 5 a (new) (5a) The REPower EU Plan, launched by the EU Commission on 18 May 2022 to rapidly reduce dependence on Russian fossil fuels and fast forward the green transition, has energy efficiency of buildings as well as building-integrated renewable energy, at its core. In its Communication of 18 May 2022 entitled “REPowerEU Plan”, the Commission invited the Parliament and Council to enable additional savings and energy efficiency gains in buildings through the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.

Amendment 117 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 6 (6) Buildings account for 40 % of final energy consumption in the Union and 36% of its energy-related greenhouse gas emissions . Therefore, reduction of energy consumption , in line with the energy efficiency first principle as laid down in Article 3 [revised EED] and defined in Article 2(18) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council32 and the use of energy from low carbon and renewable sources in the buildings sector constitute important measures needed to reduce the Union’s greenhouse gas emissions. Reduced energy consumption and an increased use of energy from low carbon and renewable sources also have an important part to play in reducing the Union’s energy dependency, promoting security of energy supply and technological developments and in creating opportunities for employment and regional development, in particular in islands and rural areas, as well as in tackling energy poverty. __________________ 32 Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the

Amendment 119 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 6 a (new) (6a) The improvement of energy efficiency and energy performance of buildings through deep renovations has enormous social, economic and environmental benefits. Moreover, energy efficiency is the safest and most cost- efficient measure to decrease Europe’s energy dependency and mitigate the negative impact of high energy prices. Furthermore, the reduction of energy consumption significantly curbs revenues for Europe’s energy supplying countries which use these revenues to fund military adventurism. Investments in energy efficiency should therefore be regarded as high priority at both private and public level.
Amendment 120 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 6 a (new) (6a) The European housing stock is very diverse in terms of age, size, use, insulation level, heating sources, demand and access to energy. Several factors, such as the broad variety of technical issues, the high costs entailed and the number of stakeholders involved contribute to making the decarbonisation of buildings a complex and sensitive topic. A one-size-fits-all approach to decarbonising buildings would fail to meet consumers' needs and to address decarbonisation concerns. A more tailored strategy that takes into account both local and system-level factors is needed.

Amendment 123 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 7 (7) Buildings and all its components and materials are responsible for greenhouse gas emissions before, during and after their operational lifetime. The 2050 vision for a decarbonised building stock goes beyond the current focus on operational greenhouse gas emissions. The whole life-cycle emissions of buildings should therefore progressively be taken into account, starting with new buildings, deep renovation and all the renovation made in order to achieve the EU climate goals for 2030 and 2050. Buildings are a significant material bank, being repositories for resources over many decades, and the design options largely influence the whole life-cycle emissions both for new buildings and renovations. The whole life-cycle performance of buildings should be taken into account not only in new construction, but also in renovations through the inclusion of policies for the reduction of whole life- cycle greenhouse gas emissions in Member States’ building renovation plans.

Proposal for a directive Recital 7 a (new) (7a) Member States should take into account the impact and the whole life- cycle (WLC) of its buildings material- bank within the calculations and indicators of the incidence of energy efficiency in buildings in order to aim for more reuse and recycling as outlined in the principles of the circular economy. In this regard, a link should be made with the leading role of the New European Bauhaus that wants to promote greater circularity in the built environment, by promoting renovation and adaptive re-use over demolition and new built, as appropriate.
Amendment 126 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 7 a (new) (7a) The introduction of whole life- cycle requirements will encourage industrial innovation, local value creation and circularity, for instance through the increase in the use of local, traditional natural materials, such as stones and wood as well as secondary raw materials.
Amendment 127 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 7 b (new) (7b) It is crucial to promote and include the use of more sustainable construction materials, in particular bio- and geo-sourced materials, as well as simple passive low-tech and locally tested building techniques to support and promote the use of and research into material technologies that contribute to the ideal insulation and structural support of buildings, thus achieving a reduction in energy consumption that translates into energy efficiency and more resilient buildings. In view of the climate crisis and the increased probability of summer heat waves, special consideration should be given to heat protection for buildings.
Amendment 128 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 7 c (new) (7c) A holistic approach of addressing the energy performance of buildings includes environmental, social and economic benefits and impacts. Renovations in the building sector should be a holistic reform of the whole building structure such as building envelopes (roof and facade), shading and ventilation control. It would lead to lower energy demand, especially in buildings constructed since World War II, thus taking into account in a more efficient way the population at risk of exclusion, avoiding a possible imposition of more expensive housing prices and the consequent greenhouse gas emission impact by increasing the use of private transport.

Amendment 133 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 8 a (new) (8a) Sufficiency policies are a set of measures and daily practices that avoid the demand for energy, materials, land, water, and other natural resources over the lifecycle of buildings and goods while delivering wellbeing for all within planetary boundaries. Circularity principles avoid the linear use of materials and goods by applying some of the sufficiency principles at the product and construction materials levels. Measures to reduce the built floor area per capita, to increase co-working and co- living, to prioritise the use of empty buildings over the construction of new ones, and to use secondary materials and extend their lifetime are essential to make the Union building sector contribute its fair share to the achievement of climate neutrality. This Directive introduces requirements on Member States, in their national building renovation plans, to set 5-year targets until 2050 to reduce the overall environmental footprint of buildings, including through higher circularity and higher sufficiency and renovations which are designed for easy dismantling and reversibility of buildings. These targets should at least double the current rate of use of secondary materials for public renovated buildings by 2030 for each material class, allowing the valorisation of locally sourced materials.

Proposal for a directive Recital 11 a (new) (11a) whereas radon is a radioactive gas emitted naturally from the land in areas with certain types of geology and in some cases from building materials, tending to accumulate in buildings and contributing to a significant rise in the incidence of lung cancer as compared to national averages; whereas the problem is recognised and managed in the workplace but not in civil construction, and more energy efficient homes could, paradoxically, exacerbate the problem in places affected by radon; whereas the Commission should encourage the Member States to provide the necessary resources for individual monitoring of buildings in areas affected by radon, with a view to preparing the necessary corrective measures to be put in place when improving the energy performance of residential buildings;
Amendment 141 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 11 a (new) (11a) Measures to improve further the energy performance of buildings should take into account the specific situation in each Member State when it comes to the quality and nature of the building stock and allow for flexibility to tailor the interventions appropriately, so as to constructively engage businesses (in particular small and medium-size enterprises) in the process.
Amendment 142 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 11 a (new) (11a) In line with the energy efficiency first principle, and to achieve higher levels of sufficiency and resource efficiency, Member States should minimise the number of unoccupied buildings.

Amendment 152 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 14 a (new) (14a) Efficient use of waste heat from domestic hot water systems represents significant energy saving opportunity. Hot water preparation is the main source of energy consumption for new buildings and normally this heat is wasted and not reused. Knowing that most of the hot water consumed comes from showers, harvesting heat from shower drains in buildings could be a simple and cost- effective way to save final energy consumption and related CO2 and methane emissions of domestic hot water production.
Amendment 153 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 17 (17) The Commission should lay down a comparative methodology framework for calculating cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements. A review of this framework should enable the calculation of both energy and emission performance and should take into account environmental, safety and health externalities, as well as the possibility of the ETS extension and carbon prices. The New European Bauhaus has the potential to reshape the way policies are conceived to define the environment of the future by meeting the need for spaces adapted to new ways of life. Member States should use that framework to compare the results with the minimum energy performance requirements which they have adopted. Should significant discrepancies, i.e. exceeding 15 %, exist between the calculated cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements and the minimum energy performance requirements in force, Member States should justify the difference or plan appropriate steps to reduce the discrepancy. The estimated economic lifecycle of a building or building element should be determined by Member States, taking into account current practices and

Proposal for a directive Recital 32 (32) Staged renovation can be a solution to address the issues of high upfront costs and hassle for the inhabitants that may occur when renovating ‘in one go’. However, such staged renovation needs to be carefully planned in order to avoid that one renovation step precludes necessary subsequent steps. Renovation passports provide a clear roadmap for staged renovation, helping owners and investors plan the best timing and scope for interventions. Therefore, renovation passports should be made available as a voluntary tool to building owners across all

Proposal for a directive Recital 33 (33) The concept of ‘deep renovation’ has not yet been defined in Union legislation. With a view to achieving the long-term vision for buildings, deep renovation should be defined as a renovation that transforms buildings into zero-emission buildings; in a first step, as a renovation that transforms buildings into nearly zero-energy buildings. This definition serves the purpose of increasing the energy performance of buildings. A deep renovation for energy performance purposes is a prime opportunity to address other aspects such as the Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ), living conditions of vulnerable households, increasing climate resilience, resilience against disaster risks including seismic resilience, fire
Amendment 181 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 33 (33) The concept of ‘deep renovation’ has not yet been defined in Union legislation. With a view to achieving the long-term vision for buildings, deep renovation should be defined as a renovation that transforms buildings into zero-emission buildings or in buildings with the highest energy performance possible, keeping into consideration the need to preserve specific building categories; in a first step, as a renovation that transforms buildings into nearly zero- energy buildings. This definition serves the purpose of increasing the energy performance of buildings. A deep renovation for energy performance purposes is a prime opportunity to address other aspects such as living conditions of vulnerable households, increasing climate resilience, resilience against disaster risks including seismic resilience, fire safety, the removal of hazardous substances including asbestos, and accessibility for persons with disabilities.

Amendment 186 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 35 a (new) (35a) Building renovation to increase energy efficiency often involves handling materials such as roofs, walls or electric settings, which could contain asbestos if they were constructed before the Union and national regulation or ban of the use of asbestos. The introduction of requirements for the safe removal of asbestos must be socially fair and must be accompanied by appropriate measures to support building owners to finance the needed renovations, as well as accompanying capacity-building measures for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) conducting works. The European Strategy for the Removal of All Asbestos should include a proposal to update Directive 2009/148/EC in order to strengthen Union measures for protecting workers from the threat of asbestos and to prevent a new wave of asbestos victims in the course of the Renovation Wave, as well as a proposal to update Directive 2010/31/EU with a view to introducing a requirement for the mandatory screening and subsequent removal of asbestos and other dangerous substances before renovation works can start, in order to protect the health of construction workers.
Amendment 187 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 35 a (new) (35a) There is an urgent need to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels in buildings and to accelerate efforts to decarbonise and electrify their energy consumption. Large scale deployment of solar energy on buildings will make a major contribution to shielding more effectively consumers from increasing and volatile prices of fossil fuels, reduce the exposure of vulnerable citizens to high energy costs and result in wider environmental, economic and social benefits. The EU-wide European Solar Rooftops Initiative, announced in the Commission’s REPowerEU Communication, aims to unlock solar generation potential of rooftops to make energy cleaner, more secure and affordable. This Directive therefore requires Member States to make the installation of rooftop solar energy compulsory for new public and commercial buildings with useful floor area larger than 250 square meters and for all new residential buildings by the entry into force, and for all existing public and commercial buildings with useful floor area larger than 250 square meters by 31 December 2025.
Amendment 188 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 35 a (new) (35a) Member States shall develop national electrical inspections regimes in view of the fact that a high percentage of the domestic and accidental domestic fires have an electrical source and in view of ensuring electrical installations are safe and ready for new usages aiming to achieve zero-emissions buildings.
Amendment 189 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 35 b (new) (35b) Consideration of the water-energy nexus is particularly important to address the interdependent energy and water use and the increasing pressure on both resources. The effective management and reuse of water can make a significant contribution to energy savings, yielding climate, but also economic and social, benefits.
Amendment 190 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 35 c (new) (35c) When assessing the potential for efficient heating and cooling, Member States should take wider environmental, health and safety aspects into account. Due to the role of heat pumps for realising energy efficiency potentials in heating and cooling, the risks of negative environmental impacts from refrigerants that are persistent, bioaccumulative or toxic should be minimised.
Amendment 191 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 35 d (new) (35d) The Commission should establish technical guidelines on historical heritage buildings and historic centres to ensure that ecological ambitions are met and cultural heritage is safeguarded.
Amendment 192 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 37 (37) Combined with an increased share of renewable electricity production, electric vehicles produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Electric vehicles constitute an important component of a clean energy transition based on energy efficiency measures, alternative fuels, renewable energy and innovative solutions for the management of energy flexibility. Building codes can be effectively used to introduce targeted requirements to support the deployment of recharging infrastructure in car parks of residential and non-residential buildings. Member States should remove barriers such as grid connection and capacity bottlenecks, split incentives and administrative complications which individual owners encounter when trying to install a recharging point on their parking space.
Amendment 193 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 39 (39) Smart charging and bidirectional charging enable the energy system integration of buildings. Recharging points where electric vehicles typically park for extended periods of time, such as where people park for reasons of residence or employment, are highly relevant to energy system integration, therefore smart charging functionalities need to be ensured in case of all new recharging points in and adjacent to buildings. In situations where bidirectional charging would assist further penetration of renewable electricity by electric vehicle fleets in transport and the electricity system in general, such functionality should also be made available.

Amendment 197 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 41 (41) The agendas of the Digital Single Market and the Energy Union should be aligned and should serve common goals. The digitalisation of the energy system is quickly changing the energy landscape, from the integration of renewables to smart grids and smart-ready buildings. In order to digitalise the building sector, the Union’s connectivity targets and ambitions for the deployment of high-capacity communication networks are important for smart homes and well-connected communities. Targeted incentives should be provided to promote smart-ready systems and digital solutions in the built environment. Energy security and efficiency by encouraging investment and incentivising low-tech, low-energy solutions and could facilitate the digital transition by improving connectivity to mitigate the digital divide. The collaboration of the New European Bauhaus is important to fight against energy poverty through innovative solutions for the building, construction, industrial and materials sectors. This would offer new opportunities for energy savings, by providing consumers with more accurate information about their consumption patterns, and by enabling the system operator to manage the grid more effectively.
Amendment 198 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 42 (42) In order to facilitate a competitive and innovative market for smart building services that contributes to efficient energy use and integration of renewable energy in buildings, including rooftop solar panels and support investments in renovation, Member States should ensure direct access to building systems’ data by interested parties. To avoid excessive administrative costs for third parties, Member States shall facilitate the full interoperability of services and of the data exchange within the Union.

Proposal for a directive Recital 44 (44) Access to sufficient funding is crucial to meet the 2030 and 2050 energy efficiency targets. Union financial instruments and other measures have been put into place or adapted with the aim of supporting the energy performance of buildings . The most recent initiatives to increase the availability of financing at Union level include, inter alia, the ‘Renovate’ flagship component of the Recovery and Resilience Facility established by Regulation (EU) 2041/241 of the European Parliament and the
Amendment 201 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 46 (46) Financial mechanisms, grants and subsidies, incentives and the mobilisation of financial institutions for energy renovations in buildings, tailored to the needs of different building owners and tenants, should play a central role in national building renovation plans and be actively promoted by Member States. Such measures should include encouraging energy efficient mortgages for certified energy efficient building renovations, promoting investments for public authorities in an energy efficient building stock, for example by public-private partnerships or energy performance contracts or reducing the perceived risk of the investments. Financial schemes should give an important premium to deep renovations, so as to make them financially attractive.
Amendment 202 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 46 a (new) (46a) Member States should provide financial guarantees to financial institutions, in order to promote targeted financial products, grants and subsidies, for enhanced energy performance of buildings for people suffering from energy poverty, vulnerable and low- income households, and other groups having difficulty to assess finances or get traditional mortgages. Member States should ensure that these people benefit from cost neutral renovation schemes, for instance through fully subsidised renovation schemes, or blends between grants and energy performance contracting and on-bill schemes. Member States should ensure that on-bill schemes are only used when they guarantee that the renovation will be a deep renovation.
Amendment 203 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 46 b (new) (46b) Green mortgage loans and green retail loans can significantly contribute to transforming the economy, reducing carbon emissions. The Mortgage Credit Directive does not hinder the uptake of green mortgages, but it also does not provide any specific measures to encourage their uptake. Moreover, not many mortgage credit providers systematically collect the data for which a mortgage loan was taken. The lack of systematic data on energy efficiency or “greenness” of residential real estate cause issues that may hinder achieving the objectives of European Green Deal. The Union and Member States should adjust relevant legislation and develop supporting measures to facilitate the uptake of green mortgage loans and green retail loans as well as data collection.
Amendment 204 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 47 (47) Financing alone will not deliver on the renovation needs. Together with financing, setting up accessible and transparent advisory tools and assistance instruments such as one-stop-shops that provide integrated energy renovation services or facilitators, as well as implementing other measures and initiatives such as those referred to in the Commission’s Smart Finance for Smart Buildings Initiative, is indispensable to provide the right enabling framework and break barriers to renovation. Support to local initiatives, such as citizen-led renovation programmes and programmes for the decarbonisation of heating and cooling at neighbourhood or municipal level, should also be provided, as such programmes enhance citizen’s engagement in the energy transition, have an economy of scale effect and provide solutions fitting with the local context and needs.
Amendment 205 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 48 (48) Inefficient buildings are often linked to energy poverty and social problems. Vulnerable households are particularly exposed to increasing energy prices as they spend a larger proportion of their budget on energy products. By reducing excessive energy bills, building renovation can lift people out of energy poverty and also prevent it. At the same time, building renovation does not come for free, and it is essential to ensure that the social impact of the costs for building renovation, notably on vulnerable households, is kept in check. The renovation wave should leave no one behind and be seized as an opportunity to improve the situation of vulnerable

Proposal for a directive Recital 48 (48) Inefficient buildings are often linked to energy poverty and social problems. Vulnerable households are particularly exposed to increasing fossil- based energy prices as they spend a larger proportion of their budget on energy products. By reducing excessive energy bills, building renovation can lift people out of energy poverty and also prevent it. At the same time, building renovation does not come for free, and it is essential to ensure that the social impact of the costs for building renovation, notably on vulnerable households, is kept in check. The renovation wave should leave no one behind and be seized as an opportunity to improve the situation of vulnerable households, and a fair transition towards climate neutrality should be ensured. Therefore, financial incentives and other policy measures should as a priority target vulnerable households, people affected by energy poverty and people living in social housing, and Member States should take measures to prevent evictions because of renovation. The Commission proposal for a Council Recommendation on ensuring a fair transition towards climate neutrality provides a common framework and shared understanding of comprehensive policies and investments needed for ensuring that the transition is fair.

Proposal for a directive Recital 50 (50) The monitoring of the building stock is facilitated by the availability of data collected by digital tools, development and maximization of digital technologies to achieve more efficient, inclusive, accessible and eco-sustainable solutions: stresses that such technologies should be used to improve the social well-being of citizens and do not translate into the creation of digital surveillance of people and thereby reducing administrative costs. Therefore, national databases for energy performance of buildings should be set up, and the information contained therein should be transferred to the EU Building Stock Observatory.
Amendment 209 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 51 (51) Buildings occupied by public authorities and buildings frequently visited by the public should set an example by showing that environmental and energy considerations are being taken into account and therefore those buildings should be subject to energy certification on a regular basis. The dissemination to the public of information on energy performance should be enhanced by clearly displaying those energy performance certificates, in particular in buildings of a certain size which are occupied by public authorities or which are frequently visited by the public, such as town halls, schools, shops and shopping centres, supermarkets, restaurants, theatres, banks and hotels. To ensure the exemplary role of public authorities and promote visibility of sustainability measures, public governmental buildings without historic or cultural value should strive towards setting up solar panels on their respective buildings.

Other calculation tools may be used if they fulfil the minimum criteria laid down by the Level(s) common EU framework. Data regarding specific construction products calculated in accordance with [revised Construction Products Regulation] shall be used when available.
Amendment 713 #
Proposal for a directive Annex III – point II – paragraph 1 For the calculation of the life-cycle global warming potential (GWP) of new buildings pursuant to Article 7(2), the GWP is communicated as a numeric indicator for each life-cycle stage
Amendment 714 #
II a. Low-carbon energy network means energy network transmitting or distributing energy whose content of CO2eq is equal or below a threshold defined year by year at national level, according to a schedule leading to a maximum of 50 g of CO2eq per kWh of energy delivered to the user in 2050. In case the CO2eq content of energy delivered is higher than 50 g/kWh, for the application of section I, the quantity of energy used is multiplied by the ratio between the actual content in CO2eq/kWh and the threshold of 50 g/kWh. Low carbon liquid fuels mean liquid fuels with a 70% CO2eq reduction versus the fossil fuel comparator of 94 CO2eq/MJ.
