(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. __________________ 29 The European Green Deal, COM(2019) 640 final.

(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.

(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 renovations by more than 35 million building and the creation up to 160 000 jobs in the construction sector. The revision of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive is necessary as one of the vehicles to deliver on the Renovation Wave. It will also contribute to delivering on the ~~New European Bauhaus initiative and the European mission on climate-neutral and smart citie~~European mission on climate- neutral, green and smart cities, and should follow the pathway drawn by the New European Bauhaus as a previous phase of the Building Renovation Wave. With the New European Bauhaus, three core pillars should be respected as a holistic approach for achieving a better energy performance of buildings and a decarbonised building stock by 2050 at the latest: a) sustainability, i.e. climate goals, circular economy, zero pollution, greening and biodiversity; b) aesthetics, i.e. quality of experience and style beyond functionality; c) inclusion, i.e. valuing diversity and social progress, secure accessibility and affordability for all; the New European Bauhaus movement will set the basis for new ways of thinking that are clear and inclusive, generating greater security and comfort for our citizens, supporting cultural movements to foster local and global knowledge that will generate culturally-based social dynamism needed to avoid only elite actors actions. __________________ 30 A Renovation Wave for Europe - greening our buildings, creating jobs, improving lives, COM/2020/662 final.

(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.

(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 European Parliament and of the Council of 30 June 2021 establishing the framework for achieving climate neutrality and amending Regulations (EC) No 401/2009 and (EU) 2018/1999 (‘European Climate Law’) (OJ L 243, 9.7.2021, p. 1).

(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.

(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.

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.

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.

(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.

(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.

(8) Minimizing the whole life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of buildings requires resource efficiency and circularity. This can also be combined with turning parts of the building stock into a temporary carbon sink. by adding recycled and nature-based solution (wood materials, greens roofs and facades) to the building elements and to reinforce the good use and adaptation of the public space surrounding the buildings. It has been proved that the absence of naturalized green areas increases the temperature in hot areas, leading to higher energy demand. Cities with at least 20 000 inhabitants should prepare urban greening plans to create biodiverse and accessible urban forests, parks and gardens, urban farms, green roofs and walls, and tree-lined streets based on the positive impact of such a measure on urban microclimate and health, in particular for vulnerable groups and in addition, all the necessary renovation actions of public spaces with the aim to increase energy savings.

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.

Amendment 134 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 8 b (new)

(8b) The integration of green infrastructure, such as living roofs and walls, is recognised as a very effective tool to reduce the detrimental impacts of climate change in urban areas. Indeed, vegetated surfaces can help retain and detain rainwater, thus reducing urban runoff and improving stormwater management. Green infrastructure also reduces the “urban heat island effect”, cooling the building and its surroundings during summer time and heat wave events. Recent analyses show that greening 35% of the Union’s impervious urban surfaces would decrease the summer temperature of urban surfaces by 2,5-6 °C; it would also transpire about 10 km3 year−1 of rainwater, turning into “green” water about 17,5% of the “blue” water that is now urban runoff, helping reduce pollution of the receiving water bodies and urban flooding1a. The latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group III underlines that sustainable urban planning and infrastructure design, including green roofs and facades, can deliver both mitigation and adaptation benefits in settlement, reducing flood risks, pressure on urban sewer systems, and urban heat island effects. This Directive therefore requires Member States to ensure that all new buildings integrate vegetated surfaces on their roof or facade and that renovated buildings do so where possible. __________________ 1a "Water, energy and climate benefits of urban greening throughout Europe under different climatic scenarios", Emanuele Quaranta, Chiara Dorati & Alberto Pistocchi, 2021: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598- 021-88141-7

(12a) This Directive should take full account of the EU Solar Energy Strategy and in particular rooftop solar panels. Solar photovoltaics (PV) and solar thermal technologies should be rolled-out rapidly and reward citizens and businesses with benefits for the climate and their purses. Member States should establish robust support frameworks for rooftop systems, including in combination with energy storage and heat-pumps, based on predictable payback times that should be shorter than 10 years. The Member States should implement the measures under as a priority, using available Union funding, in particular the new REPowerEU chapters of their Recovery and Resilience Plans. The Commission should monitor progress in the implementation of this initiative on an annual basis, through the relevant fora, with the European Parliament, the Member States and the sector’s stakeholders.

(14) Two-thirds of the energy used for heating and cooling of buildings still comes from fossil fuels. In order to reach a zero-emission, fully decarbonise ~~the~~d building sector, it is of particularly importancet and urgent to phase out fossil fuels in heating and cooling. ~~Therefore,~~ Member States should ~~indicate their national policies and measures to phase out fossil fuels in heat~~phase out subsidies to fossil fuel technical building systems and ban the installation of such systems in new buildings and cooling in their building renovation plans, and no financial incentives should be given for the installation of fossil fuel boilers under the next Multiannual Financial Framework as of 2027, with the exception of those selected for investment, before 2027, under the European Regional Development Fund and on the Cohesion Fund. A clear legal basis for the ban of heat generators based on their greenhouse gas emissions or the type of fuel used should support national phase-out polbuildings undergoing renovation as of the entry into force of this Directive, and they should phase out fossil fuel based technical building systems from all buildings by 2035 at the latest. This will help halt the exceedances of air pollution limit values, particularly particulate matter, in Southern and Eastern Europe. This will also play a key role in decreasing Europe’s dependency on imports from third countries and lower its energy bill and vulnerability to price fluctuations, as recognised by the REPower EU Plan. Member States should prioritise the phase out of fossil fuel appliances among vulnerable consumers, who often live in houses equipped with old, inefficiesnt and ~~measure~~polluting installations.

(14) Two-thirds of the energy used for heating and cooling of buildings still comes from fossil fuels. In order to decarbonise the building sector, it is of particular importance to phase out fossil fuel in heating and cooling, to set clear and effective strategies for this phasing-out process, to define the best techniques for it. Therefore, Member States should indicate their national policies and measures to phase out fossil fuels in heating and cooling in their building renovation plans, and no financial incentives should be given for the installation of fossil fuel boilers under the next Multiannual Financial Framework as of 2027, with the exception of those selected for investment, before 2027, under the European Regional Development Fund and on the Cohesion Fund.

In order to decarbonise the building sector, it is of particular importance to phase out fossil fuel in heating and cooling. Therefore, Member States should indicate their national policies and measures to phase out fossil fuels in heating and cooling in their building renovation plans, and no financial incentives should be given for the installation of the least efficient fossil fuel boilers under the next Multiannual Financial Framework as of 2027, with the exception of those selected for investment, before 2027, under the European Regional Development Fund and on the Cohesion Fund. A clear legal basis for the ban of heat generators based on their greenhouse gas emissions ~~or the type of fuel used~~ should support national phase-out policies and measures.

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 experience in defining typical economic lifecycles. The results of that comparison and the data used to reach those results should be regularly reported to the Commission. Those reports should enable the Commission to assess and report on the progress of Member States in reaching cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements.

(19) The enhanced climate and energy ambition of the Union requires a new vision for buildings: the zero-emission building, the very low energy demand of which is fully covered by energy from renewable sources where technically, functionally and economically feasible. All new buildings should be zero- emission buildings, and all existing buildings should be transformed ~~into zero- emission buildings by 2050~~by 2050 to achieve the highest energy performance possible, keeping into consideration the need to preserve specific building categories and to achieve this transition in a cost efficient way.

(19a) In addition to the measures proposed by the Commission, it is necessary to create a definition of vulnerable areas/neighbourhoods associated to energy poverty that allows for more accurate detection of less developed micro-areas (rural and urban) encompassed within more developed areas. In this way, it would contribute to the identification and location of the most vulnerable social sectors and those suffering from energy poverty, thus helping to fight against social inequalities that may arise from the application of the different climate action measures. 75% of Union buildings are deemed inefficient contributing to over 40% of our energy consumption. Moreover, inefficient housing is a systemic root cause of energy poverty; with harrowing 50 million Europeans living in energy poverty unable to adequately light, heat or cool their homes and over 20% of poor households in the Union live in a dwelling that has mould, damp or rot.

Amendment 157 #

Recital 19 a (new)

(19a) As up to 90 % of the 2050 built environment already exists, more ambitious efforts are needed to accelerate the rate of renovating and decarbonising the existing building stock. The incentives and standards set today will ultimately define whether the Union will reach its long-term climate and energy goals.

Recital 19 b (new)

(19b) Affordability and social fairness is key to achieve a green and just transition for a decarbonised building stock by 2050 at the latest. Creditworthiness of consumers needs to be assessed in line with current Union legislation. It is crucial that the scope of financial instruments fits the needs of the potential beneficiaries: lowest income and most vulnerable households should benefit from 100% subsidised retrofit works.

Amendment 159 #

Recital 19 c (new)

(19c) The principle of “pay-as-you-save” should ensure social fairness and economic attractiveness and has to be seen as an accompanying measure without undermining the overall climate ambitions. The Commission should ensure when establishing standards for pay-as-you-save that the priorities as set out in the European Climate Law and the strategy "A Renovation Wave for Europe – Greening our buildings, creating jobs, improving lives” are not jeopardised.

(21) The necessary decarbonisation of the Union ~~building stock~~public and private building stock including the buildings of the Union institutions, bodies and agencies, requires energy renovation at a large scale: almost 75% of that building stock is inefficient according to current building standards, and 85-95% of the buildings that exist today will still be standing in 2050. However, the weighted annual energy renovation rate is persistently low at around 1%. At the current pace, the decarbonisation of the building sector would require centuries. Triggering and supporting building renovation, including a shift towards emission-free heating systems, is therefore a key goal of this Directive.

(25) The introduction of minimum energy performance standards should be accompanied by an enabling framework including technical assistance and financial measures. Minimum energy performance standards set at national level do not amount to “Union standards” within the meaning of State aid rules, while Union- wide minimum energy performance standards might be considered constituting such “Union standards”. In line with revised State aid rules, Member States may grant State aid to building renovation to comply with the Union-wide energy performance standards, namely to achieve a certain energy performance class, until those Union-wide standards become mandatory. Once the standards are mandatory, Member States may continue to grant State aid for the renovation of buildings and building units falling under the Union-wide energy performance standards as long as the building renovation aims at a higher standard than the specified minimum energy performance class or is following a renovation passport scheme.

(26) The EU Taxonomy classifies environmentally sustainable economic activities across the economy, including for the building sector. Under the EU Taxonomy Climate Delegated Act, building renovation is considered a sustainable activity where it achieves at least 30% energy savings, complies with minimum energy performance requirements for major or significant renovation of existing buildings, or consists of individual measures related to the energy performance of buildings, such as the installation, maintenance or repair of energy efficiency equipment or of instruments and devices for measuring, regulating and controlling the energy performance of buildings, where such individual measures comply with the criteria set out. Building renovation to comply with Union-wide minimum energy performance standards is typically in line with the EU Taxonomy criteria related to building renovation activities.

(29) To achieve a highly energy efficient and decarbonised building stock and the transformation of existing buildings into zero-emission buildings by 2050, Member States should establish national building renovation plans, which replace the long- term renovation strategies and become an even stronger, fully operational planning tool for Member States, with a stronger focus on financing and ensuring that ~~appropriately skilled workers are available for carrying out building renovation~~highly qualified workers from the construction sector and creative and cultural industries, are available for carrying out building renovations and quality processes, in particular public procurement procedures. In their building renovation plans, Member States should set their own national building renovation targets. In line with Article 21(b)(7) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and with the enabling conditions set under Regulation (EU) 2021/60 of the European Parliament and of the Council36 , Member States should provide an outline of financing measures, as well as an outline of the investment needs and the administrative resources for the implementation of their building renovation plans. __________________ 36 Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 June 2021 laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund Plus, the Cohesion Fund, the Just Transition Fund and the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund and financial rules for those and for the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund, the Internal Security Fund and the Instrument for Financial Support for Border Management and Visa Policy (OJ L 231, 30.6.2021, p. 159).

(31) The national building renovation plans should be closely linked with the integrated national energy and climate plans under Regulation (EU) 2018/1999, and progress in achieving the national targets and the contribution of the building renovation plans to national and Union targets should be reported as part of the biennial reporting under Regulation (EU) 2018/1999. Considering the urgency to scale up renovation based on solid national plans, the date for the submission of the first national building renovation plan should be set as early as possible. Energy efficiency improvement measures pursuant to this Directive should also include a strategy to reduce the use of solid fuels and reduce indoor and outdoor pollution. Exposure reduction targets should be implemented at local and regional level where the use of solid heating fuels is part of the local or regional energy mix.

(32) ~~Staged~~One-step deep renovation is the most cost-effective and lowest carbon budget option for the timely achievement of the objectives of turning Europe’s building stock into a fully decarbonised and zero-emission one. In some cases, staged deep 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 Member States.

(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 ~~safety~~, heating and electrical installations safety and ventilation, the removal of hazardous substances including asbestos, and accessibility for persons with disabilities. Deep renovations that improve the energy performance of a building by at least 60% are currently annually carried out only in 0.2% of the building stock, and in only a fifth of the cases, energy efficiency is significantly improved.

(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.

(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.

(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.

(40) Promoting green mobility is a key part of the European Green Deal and buildings can play an important role in providing the necessary infrastructure, not only for recharging of electric vehicles but also for bicycles. A shift to ~~soft~~active mobility such as cycling can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transport. With the rapid uptake of the sales of electric bicycles and electric cargo bikes, space and basic charging infrastructure for these types of vehicles also need to be provided to facilitate their regular use. As set out in the 2030 Climate Target Plan, increasing the modal shares of clean and efficient private and public transport, such as cycling, will drastically lower pollution from transport and bring major benefits to individual citizens and communities. The lack of bike parking spaces is a major barrier to the uptake of cycling, both in residential and non-residential buildings. Building codes can effectively support the transition to cleaner mobility by establishing requirements for a minimum number of bicycle parking spaces. Where appropriate, building codes should also replace ‘minimum’ car parking requirements with ‘maximum’ car parking requirements, particularly in those areas that are already well served by public transport and walking and cycling. Member States should support local authorities in developing and implementing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans with a particular focus on the integration of housing policies with sustainable mobility and urban planning, hereby ensuring and prioritising accessibility of all new major urban developments by active mobility and public transport.

(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.

(43) The smart readiness indicator should be used to measure the capacity of buildings to use information and communication technologies and electronic systems to adapt the operation of buildings in a more transparent manner to the needs of the occupants and the grid and to improve the energy efficiency and overall performance of buildings. The smart readiness indicator should raise awareness amongst building owners and occupants of the value behind building automation and electronic monitoring of technical building systems and should give confidence to occupants about the actual savings of those new enhanced- functionalities. The smart readiness indicator is particularly beneficial for large buildings with high energy demand. The Commission should provide a clear definition of a large building, reflecting all the criteria and aspects of the building it includes and that it takes into account all the diversity of the Union building stock; For other buildings, the scheme for rating the smart readiness of buildings should be optional for Member States.

(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 Council39 and the Social Climate Fund established by Regulation (EU) …/…. Several other key EU programmes can support energy renovation under the 2021- 2027 Multiannual Financial Framework, including the cohesion policy funds and the InvestEU Fund established by Regulation (EU) 2021/523 of the European Parliament and of the Council40 . Through Framework Programmes for research and innovation, the Union invests in grants or loans to push the best technology and improve the energy performance of buildings, including through partnerships with industry and Member States such as the Clean Energy Transition and Built4People European Partnerships. In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of the European Parliament and of the Council40a, the Commission should establish sector-specific energy transition partnerships within the building sector by bringing together key stakeholders. __________________ 39 Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 February 2021 establishing the Recovery and Resilience Facility (OJ L 57, 18.2.2021) 40 Regulation (EU) 2021/523 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 March 2021 establishing the InvestEU Programme and amending Regulation (EU) 2015/1017 (OJ L 107, 26.3.2021, p. 30). 40a Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 June 2021 establishing the framework for achieving climate neutrality and amending Regulations (EC) No 401/2009 and (EU) 2018/1999 (‘European Climate Law’)( OJ L 243, 9.7.2021, p.1).

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 ~~households~~and low-income households, people affected by energy poverty and people living in social housing, and a fair transition towards climate neutrality should be ensured. Therefore, financial incentives and other policy measures should as a priority target vulnerable and low-income 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 49

(49) In order to ensure that the energy performance of buildings can be taken into account by prospective buyers or tenants early in the process, all buildings or building units ~~which are offered for sale or rent~~ should have an energy performance certificate by 2030, and the energy performance class and indicator should be stated in all advertisements. The prospective buyer or tenant of a building or building unit should, in the energy performance certificate, be given correct information about the energy performance of the building and practical advice on improving such performance. The energy performance certificate should also provide information on its primary energy consumption , on its renewable energy production and on its operational greenhouse gas emissions, as well as recommendations for the improvement of the energy performance and the Life-cycle Global Warming Potential.

Amendment 208 #

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.

(54) A common approach to the energy performance certification of buildings , renovation passports, smart readiness indicators and the inspection of heating ~~and~~, ventilation, air-conditioning systems, and electrical installations carried out by qualified or certified experts, whose independence is to be guaranteed on the basis of objective criteria, contribute to a level playing field as regards efforts made in Member States to energy saving in the buildings sector and will introduce transparency for prospective owners or users with regard to energy performance in the Union property market. In order to ensure the quality of energy performance certificates , renovation passports, smart readiness indicators and of the inspection of heating and air-conditioning systems throughout the Union, an independent control mechanism should be established in each Member State.

Amendment 213 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 57

(57) In order to further the aim of improving the energy performance of buildings, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the adaptation to technical progress of certain parts of the general framework set out in Annex I, in respect of the establishment of a methodology framework for calculating cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements , in respect of adapting the thresholds for zero-emission buildings and the calculation methodology for life-cycle Global Warming Potential, in respect of minimum indoor environmental quality standards applicable to zero-emissions buildings, in respect of the establishment of a common European framework for renovation passports and in respect of a Union scheme for rating the smart readiness of buildings . It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level , and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making41 . In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council receive all documents at the same time as Member States’ experts, and their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts . __________________ 41 OJ L 123, 12.5.2016, p. 1.

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 renewable and low carbon 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 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 jobs creation and regional development, in particular in islands, outermost regions and rural areas. _________________ 32 Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action, amending Regulations (EC) No 663/2009 and (EC) No 715/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directives 94/22/EC, 98/70/EC, 2009/31/EC, 2009/73/EC, 2010/31/EU, 2012/27/EU and 2013/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 2009/119/EC and (EU) 2015/652 and repealing Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 1).

Amendment 34 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 11

(11) Measures to improve further the energy performance of buildings should take into account climatic conditions, including adaptation to climate change, local conditions as well as indoor climate environment and cost-effectiveness. Those measures should not affect other requirements concerning buildings such as accessibility , fire safety, acoustic safety and seismic safety and the intended use of the building.

Amendment 35 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 11

(11) Measures to improve further the energy performance of buildings should take into account different climatic conditions, including adaptation to climate change, local conditions as well as indoor climate environment and cost- effectiveness. Those measures should not affect other requirements concerning buildings such as accessibility , fire safety and seismic safety and the intended use of the building.

Amendment 36 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 12

(12) The energy performance of buildings should be calculated on the basis of a methodology, which may be differentiated at national ~~and~~, regional and local level. That includes, in addition to thermal characteristics, other factors that play an increasingly important role such as heating and air-conditioning installations, application of energy from renewable and low carbon sources, building automation and control systems, smart solutions, passive heating and cooling elements, shading, indoor air- quality, adequate natural light and design of the building. The methodology for calculating energy performance should be based not only on the season in which heating or air- conditioning is required, but should cover the annual energy performance of a building. That methodology should take into account existing European standards. The methodology should ensure the representation of actual operating conditions and enable the use of metered energy to verify correctness and for comparability, and the methodology should be based on hourly or sub-hourly time- steps. In order to encourage the use of renewable energy on-site, and in addition to the common general framework, Member States should take the necessary measures so that the benefits of maximising the use of renewable energy on-site, including for other-uses (such as electric vehicle charging points), are recognised and accounted for in the calculation methodology.

Amendment 37 #

Ondřej KOVAŘÍK, Elsi KATAINEN

Proposal for a directive
Recital 19

(19) The enhanced climate and energy ambition of the Union requires a new vision for buildings: the zero-emission building, the very low energy demand of which is fully covered by energy from renewable sources where technically ~~feasible~~, geographically feasible and taking into consideration the different climate conditions. All new buildings should be zero- emission buildings, and all existing buildings should be transformed into zero- emission buildings by 2050.

Amendment 38 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 19 a (new)

(19 a) The concept of ‘technical feasibility’ has not yet been defined in Union legislation. With a view to achieving the long-term vision for buildings, parameters of technical feasibility should be defined.

(20 a) Emphasises the importance of a market-driven transition in the electrification of transport and the need for this Directive to create a cost-effective framework that does not lead to unreasonable cost increases for citizens. Underlines that energy efficiency measures for buildings should take into account different national and local characteristics, such as sparsely populated areas and already implemented improvements for energy efficiency in Member States.

Amendment 41 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 23

(23) Minimum energy performance standards set at Union level should focus on the renovation of the buildings with the highest potential in terms of decarbonisation, energy and transport poverty alleviation and extended social and economic benefits, in particular on the very worst-performing buildings, which need to be renovated as a priority.

Amendment 42 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 24

(24) As regards the rest of the national building stock, Member States are free to decide whether they wish to introduce minimum energy performance standards, designed at national level and adapted to national, regional and local conditions. When reviewing this Directive, the Commission should assess whether further binding minimum energy performance standards need to be introduced in order to achieve a decarbonised building stock by 2050.

Amendment 43 #

Recital 30

(30) The national building renovation plans should ~~be based on a harmonised template in order to ensure comparability of plans. In order to ensure the required ambition, t~~allow comparability of plans. The Commission ~~should~~may assess the draft plans and issue recommendations to Member States in this regard.

Amendment 44 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 31 a (new)

(31a) Improving the energy performance of buildings is an important step in decarbonising societies and reducing energy waste, and is relevant for improving the thermal comfort of buildings. The measures required to improve this performance could, however, bring benefits beyond their direct effect on buildings and contribute towards urban regeneration, create jobs, or help change mobility and accessibility patterns.

Amendment 45 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 33 a (new)

(33 a) The definition should also consider the climate zone factor when establishing minimum thresholds for primary energy use and renewable and low carbon energy sources, alongside existing approaches at the national level. In the longer term, CO2 emissions from building materials should also be included.

Amendment 46 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 33 b (new)

(33 b) A deep renovations standard, if accompanied by adequate support and information, including technical assistance and training, can be a way to achieve higher emissions reduction, but it needs to offer flexibility to consider local circumstances. Local policymakers play an enabling role in designing the energy renovation market through local regulations, driving phase-out of inefficient heating and cooling systems, managing public procurement processes, and developing public-private partnerships. Renovations must be done to a high standard to effectively reduce emissions and avoid performance gaps that can make the targets harder to reach in the medium term.

Amendment 47 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 35

(35) Member States should support energy performance upgrades of existing buildings that contribute to achieving a healthy indoor environment, including through the removal of asbestos, following acoustic safety and other harmful substances, preventing the illegal removal of harmful substances, and facilitating compliance with existing legislative acts such as Directives 2009/148/EU37 and (EU) 2016/228438 of the European Parliament and of the Council. _________________ 37 Directive 2009/148/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to asbestos at work (OJ L 330, 16.12.2009, p. 28). 38 Directive (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).

Amendment 48 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 35 a (new)

(35 a) The renovation of existing buildings and design of new buildings can play an important role in encouraging the uptake of the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly modes of transport. Measures in this regard can incentivise both active mobility, such as walking and cycling, and the use of electric vehicles such as cars, vans, bikes and motorcycles by providing adequate parking and storage space and charging infrastructure.

Amendment 49 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 35 b (new)

(35 b) Walking, cycling and other non- motorised modes of transport offer the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly way to reduce emissions within the transport sector. It is also clear that such modes of transport need to be prioritised as a means to help shift away from private car usage and in turn help to achieve Europe’s climate goals. Active mobility can also help consumers and businesses to save on transport costs, something that is often exacerbated by spikes in energy prices. However, buildings can be barriers to such modes of transport by way of inadequate provisions for storage space or safety requirements, for instance when facilities in buildings, including both residential and non- residential do not allow, or do not encourage the storing or parking of pushchairs, prams or bikes. Existing buildings that are renovated or new buildings in design should incorporate minimum requirements to ensure that active mobility is fully incentivised.

Amendment 50 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 36

(36) Electric vehicles are expected to play a crucial role in the decarbonisation and efficiency of the electricity system, namely through the provision of flexibility, balancing and storage services, especially through aggregation. This potential of electric vehicles to integrate with the electricity system and contribute to system efficiency and further absorption of renewable electricity should be fully exploited. Charging in relation to buildings is particularly important, since this is where electric vehicles park regularly and for long periods of time. Slow charging is economical and the installation of recharging points in private spaces can provide energy storage to the related building and integration of smart charging services and system integration services in general.

(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 as well as in truck depots and logistic hubs. Member States should remove barriers such as split incentives and administrative complications which individual owners encounter when trying to install a recharging point on their parking space.

(37 a) Member States should ensure adequate and safe storage space for both electric and non-motorized modes of transport for persons with disabilities, reduced mobility and care providers. In particular, storage space for mobility devices in renovated and new buildings should cater for wheelchairs and pushchairs and ensure the highest safety standards including the provision of areas segregated from motorised vehicles.

Amendment 58 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 38

(38) Pre-cabling provides the right conditions for the rapid deployment of recharging points if and where they are needed. Readily available infrastructure will decrease the costs of installation of recharging points for individual owners and ensure that electric vehicle users have access to recharging points. Establishing requirements for electromobility at Union level concerning the pre-equipping of parking spaces and the installation of recharging points is an effective way to promote electric vehicles in the near future while enabling further development at a reduced cost in the medium to long termin new and renovated building should be done only when justified in long economic perspective. Establishing requirements for electromobility at Union level concerning the pre-equipping of parking spaces and the installation of recharging points is an effective way to promote electric vehicles in the near future, however, especially in the Member States and regions where electromobility is less developed this will be very costly, and economically unreasonable. Therefore, specific exemptions and flexibility should be put in place to allow Member States with less developed electromobility market to achieve targets. Where technically feasible, Member States should ensure the accessibility of recharging points for persons with disabilities.

Amendment 59 #

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 situations where~~As bidirectional charging ~~would~~ assists further penetration of renewable electricity by electric vehicle fleets in transport and the electricity system in general~~, such functionality should also be made available.~~ and is instrumental to peak shaving, thus lowering the need for power supply at peak hours and hence overall system costs, such functionality should also be made available, not least as it empowers owners of electric vehicles to play an active part in the energy system against adequate remuneration, in line with their right to generate, share, store or sell self produced energy.

Amendment 60 #

Recital 39 a (new)

(39 a) Non-residential buildings, where parking is accessible to the general public and typically used by the general public, such as supermarkets or public parking lots, present a significant opportunity to ensure to deploy charging infrastructure for users of electric vehicles. Member States shall ensure that public parking facilities in such non-residential buildings equip at parking spaces with publicly accessible recharging points and in accordance with Regulation (EU) .../….[AFIR].

Amendment 61 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 40

(40) Promoting green mobility is a key part of the European Green Deal and buildings can play an important role in providing the necessary infrastructure, not only for recharging of electric vehicles but also for bicycles. A shift to ~~soft~~active mobility such as cycling can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transport. With the increase in the sales of electric bicycles and electric cargo bikes across the European Union over recent years, basic charging infrastructure for these vehicles should also be provided to facilitate their regular use. As set out in the 2030 Climate Target Plan, increasing the modal shares of clean and efficient private and public transport, such as cycling, will drastically lower pollution from transport and bring major benefits to individual citizens and communities. The lack of bike parking spaces is a major barrier to the uptake of cycling, both in residential and non-residential buildings. BUnion requirements and national building codes can effectively support the transition to cleaner mobility by establishing requirements for a minimum number of bicycle parking spaces, and building bicycle parking spaces and related infrastructure in areas where bicycles are typically less used as a means of transport can lead to an increase in their use as a form of mobility. The requirement to provide bicycle parking spaces should not be dependent on, or necessarily be linked to, the availability and supply of car parking spaces, which may in certain circumstances be unavailable or not required. Building codes should also replace ‘minimum’ car parking requirements with ‘maximum’ car parking requirements, particularly in those areas that are already well served by public transport and active mobility options. Member States should support local authorities in developing and implementing sustainable urban mobility plans with a particular focus on the integration of housing policies with sustainable mobility and urban planning, thereby ensuring and prioritising accessibility of all new major urban developments by active mobility and public transport.

Amendment 62 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 40

(40) Promoting green mobility is a key part of the European Green Deal and buildings can play an important role in providing the necessary infrastructure, not only for recharging of electric vehicles but also for bicycles, when justified by the real needs. A shift to soft mobility such as cycling and more effective public transport including better developed railway connections can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transport. As set out in the 2030 Climate Target Plan, increasing the modal shares of clean and efficient private and public transport, such as cycling, will drastically lower pollution from transport and bring major benefits to individual citizens and communities. The lack of bike parking spaces is a major barrier to the uptake of cycling, both in residential and non- residential buildings. Building codes can effectively support the transition to cleaner mobility by establishing requirements for a minimum number of bicycle parking spaces. However, it is definitely necessary to adjust the potential number of parking spaces to the actual needs (e.g. in the case of a large shopping center located on the outskirts of an urban center, equipped with several thousand car parking spaces, the construction and subsequent use of several thousand bicycle parking spaces are questionable).

(45) Union financial instruments should be used to give practical effect to the objectives of this Directive, ~~without however substituting~~and help boost and supplement national measures. In particular, due to the scale of the renovation effort needed, they should be used for providing appropriate and innovative means of financing to catalyse investment in energy performance of buildings . They could play an important role in the development of national, regional and local energy efficiency funds, instruments, or mechanisms, which deliver ~~such~~ financing possibilities to the public sector, to private property owners, to small and medium- sized enterprises ~~and~~or to energy efficiency service companies.

Amendment 66 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 47 a (new)

(47 a) Increased technical assistance is necessary to set up and develop one-stop- shops and mobilise the right expertise. Access to trusted advice and information increases confidence and eases the process to improve energy efficiency in existing buildings, especially for private citizens. Locally operated one stop shops play a key role in ensuring coordination of supply and demand. They can help building owners and managers and help integrate individual projects into the broader strategy of the cities. They can also help prioritise worst performance buildings by establishing timelines and providing targeted support to different portions of the building stock based on construction years. One-stop-shops are also important to encourage citizens to start renovation projects through advice, research options, look for contractors, navigate through tenders and quotations, and provide support during the renovations.

Amendment 67 #

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 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~~home energy upgrades from pushing up rents or leading to eviction processes (in the context of ever-diminishing safeguards for tenants and the ever-increasing deregulation of the rental market), guaranteeing the right to decent, affordable housing, tackling speculation and regulating the market. 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.

Amendment 69 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 49 a (new)

(49 a) When considering support policies for minimum energy performance standards, special attention should be given to in-need and at-risk households, particularly to those whose security of tenure might be put at risk. The Directive should already foresee safeguards to be implemented at national level, such as recommendations for Member States to set up social support mechanisms.

Amendment 70 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 49 b (new)

(49 b) The energy transition represents an opportunity to improve access to better quality housing, if renovation costs are balanced as much as possible with energy savings and security of tenure is ensured. It can also help lift households out of energy and transport poverty if subsidies and public funding are made available to those with reduced access to market-price loans. Also, for public housing and rented buildings, participative models are essential for tenants to work together with the housing companies, land lords and owners associations on the scope and cost of renovations. It can help balance costs and reinforce security of tenure. Capacity building opportunities for local housing providers should be created for better uptake of participative models and a more coordinated approach across sectors at national, reginal and local level.

Amendment 71 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 51 a (new)

(51 a) Existing exemptions for heritage and temporary buildings must be maintained for harder to renovate public buildings such as conservation and heritage buildings while new innovative solutions are developed and tested.

Amendment 72 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 51 b (new)

(51 b) An ambitious and realistic timeline for Member States should be developed to phase out fossil fuels from public buildings gradually and to consider projects and investments already made at the local level. This should be seen in conjunction with the overall energy transition and matching the wide variety of building types with the appropriate solutions. This is particularly an issue in dense urban areas with multi-store buildings, where the available space for renewable installations does not meet the energy demand, even with high energy efficiency.

Amendment 73 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 55

(55) Since local and regional authorities are critical for the successful implementation of this Directive, they should be consulted and involved, as and when appropriate in accordance with applicable national legislation, on planning issues, the development of programmes to provide information, training and awareness-raising, and on the implementation of this Directive at national or regional level. Such consultations may also serve to promote the provision of adequate guidance to local planners and building inspectors to carry out the necessary tasks. Furthermore, Member States should enable and encourage architects and planners to properly consider the optimal combination of improvements in energy efficiency, use of energy from renewable and low carbon sources and use of district heating and cooling when planning, designing, building and renovating industrial or residential areas.

(58 a) It is important, to have flexibility, especially concerning deep energy renovation, to decide the best approach, whether a staged-pathway or a single renovation process, depending on for exemple their local market, information and financial support available. Whole life carbon emissions should be introduced progressively once conditions - support and information, technical assistance and training - are met. Different elements should be part of the standard: a consideration of the different climatic zones and average performance of the building stock; the use of renewable and low carbon energy, and broader aspects that have an impact on the quality of renovations, such as health and environmental standards, climate resilience, air quality and biodiversity.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 5 a (new)

(5 a) 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 EU 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 297 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 5 a (new)

(5 a) 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.

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. 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.

Recital 8 a (new)

(8 a) That buildings are responsible for greenhouse gas emissions before their operational lifetime is the result of the upfront embedded carbon to be found within all building materials. An increase in the use of sustainably and locally sourced nature-based building materials, in keeping with the principles of the New European Bauhaus Initiative, has the potential to substitute for more carbon intensive materials and to store carbon in the built environment via the use of wood- based materials.

(9) The global warming potential over the whole life-cycle indicates the building’s overall contribution to emissions that lead to climate change. It brings together greenhouse gas emissions embodied in construction products with direct and indirect emissions from the use stage. A requirement to calculate the life- cycle global warming potential of new buildings therefore constitutes a first step towards increased consideration of the whole life-cycle performance of buildings and a circular economy.deleted

That includes, in addition to thermal characteristics, other factors that play an increasingly important role such as heating and air-conditioning installations, application of energy from renewable sources, building automation and control systems, smart solutions, passive heating and cooling elements, heat recovery from wastewater, ventilation and cooling, shading, indoor air- quality, adequate natural light and design of the building. The methodology for calculating energy performance should be based not only on the season in which heating or air- conditioning is required, but should cover the annual energy performance of a building. That methodology should take into account existing European standards. The methodology should ensure the representation of actual operating conditions and enable the use of metered energy to verify correctness and for comparability, and the methodology should be based on hourly or sub-hourly time- steps. In order to encourage the use of renewable energy on-site, and in addition to the common general framework, Member States should take the necessary measures so that the benefits of maximising the use of renewable energy on-site, including for other-uses (such as electric vehicle charging points), are recognised and accounted for in the calculation methodology.

(12 a) This Directive should take full account of the EU Solar Energy Strategy and in particular rooftop solar panels. Solar photovoltaics (PV) and solar thermal technologies should be rolled-out rapidly and reward citizens and businesses with benefits for the climate and their purses. Member States should establish robust support frameworks for rooftop systems, including in combination with energy storage and heat-pumps, based on predictable payback times that should be shorter than 10 years. The Member States should implement the measures under as a priority, using available Union funding, in particular the new REPowerEU chapters of their Recovery and Resilience Plans.

(14 a) 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.

Recital 15 a (new)

(15 a) Efficient reuse of waste heat from domestic hot water systems represents major energy saving opportunity and, in this sense, this potential should be considered. Every day, more than 22 million cubic meters of hot water are consumed by European homes. Hot water preparation is the main source of energy consumption for new buildings, and vast majority of this heat ends up in sewers and is wasted. Considering that up to 80 percent of hot water is used in showers, harvesting heat from shower drains in buildings could be a simple and cost- effective way to save around 40 percent of final energy consumption and related CO2 emissions of domestic hot water production.

Amendment 344 #

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 and health externalities, as well as the ETS extension and carbon prices. 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 experience in defining typical economic lifecycles. The results of that comparison and the data used to reach those results should be regularly reported to the Commission. Those reports should enable the Commission to assess and report on the progress of Member States in reaching cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements. Buildings have an impact on long-term energy consumption. Given the long renovation cycle for existing buildings, new and existing buildings that are subject to major renovation should therefore meet minimum energy performance requirements adapted to the local climate. As the application of alternative energy supply systems is not generally explored to its full potential, alternative energy supply systems should be considered for new buildings, regardless of their size, pursuant to the principle of first ensuring that energy needs for heating and cooling are reduced to cost-optimal levels.

(18 a) In addition to the measures proposed by the Commission, it is necessary to create a definition of vulnerable areas/neighbourhoods associated to energy poverty that allows for more accurate detection of less developed micro-areas (rural and urban) encompassed within more developed areas. In this way, it would contribute to the identification and location of the mostvulnerable social sectors and those suffering from energy poverty, thus helping to fight against social inequalities that may arise from the application of the different climate action measures. 75% of Union buildings are deemed inefficient contributing to over 40% of our energy consumption. Moreover, inefficient housing is a systemic root cause of energy poverty, with harrowing 50 million Europeans living in energy poverty unable to adequately light, heat or cool their homes and over 20% of poor households in the Union live in a dwelling that has mould, damp or rot.

(25) The introduction of minimum energy performance standards should be accompanied by an enabling framework including technical assistance and financial measures. Minimum energy performance standards set at national level do not amount to “Union standards” within the meaning of State aid rules, while Union- wide minimum energy performance standards might be considered constituting such “Union standards”. In line with revised State aid rules, Member States may grant State aid to building renovation to comply with the Union-wide energy performance standards, namely to achieve a certain energy performance class, until those Union-wide standards become mandatory.

(26) The EU Taxonomy classifies environmentally sustainable economic activities across the economy, including for the building sector. Under the EU Taxonomy Climate Delegated Act, building renovation is considered a sustainable activity where it achieves at least 30% energy savings, complies with minimum energy performance requirements for major renovation of existing buildings, or consists of individual measures related to the energy performance of buildings, such as the installation, maintenance or repair of energy efficiency equipment or of instruments and devices for measuring, regulating and controlling the energy performance of buildings, where such individual measures comply with the criteria set out. ~~Building renovation to comply with Union-wide minimum energy performance standards is typically in line with the EU Taxonomy criteria related to building renovation activities.~~

(29) To achieve a highly energy efficient and decarbonised building stock and the transformation of existing buildings into zero-emission buildings by 2050, Member States should establish national building renovation plans, which replace the long- term renovation strategies and become an even stronger, fully operational planning tool for Member States, with a stronger focus on financing and ensuring that appropriately skilled workers are available for carrying out building renovations, as well as on tackling energy poverty, ensuring electrical and fire safety and improving the energy performance of worst performing buildings. In their building renovation plans, Member States should set their own national building renovation targets. In line with Article 21(b)(7) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and with the enabling conditions set under Regulation (EU) 2021/60 of the European Parliament and of the Council36 , Member States should provide an outline of financing measures, as well as an outline of the investment needs and the administrative resources for the implementation of their building renovation plans. _________________ 36 Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 June 2021 laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund Plus, the Cohesion Fund, the Just Transition Fund and the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund and financial rules for those and for the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund, the Internal Security Fund and the Instrument for Financial Support for Border Management and Visa Policy (OJ L 231, 30.6.2021, p. 159).

(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’ and can allow for less disruptive and more cost- efficient renovation measures. However, such staged renovation needs to be carefully planned in order to avoid that one renovation step precludes necessary subsequent steps. However, deep and staged renovations should not be considered to be in competition with one another as differing factors such as building use, renovation time, existing condition of the building, extent of renovations and primary energy supply of a building, when determining most suitable solutions for decarbonisation. 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 encouraged and made available as a voluntary tool to building owners across all Member States. Member States should however ensure that the introduction of Renovation Passports would not create disproportionate burdens on involved parties.

A shift to soft mobility such as cycling can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transport, where climate conditions and the terrain allow. As set out in the 2030 Climate Target Plan, increasing the modal shares of clean and efficient private and public transport, such as cycling, will drastically lower pollution from transport and bring major benefits to individual citizens and communities. The lack of bike parking spaces is a major barrier to the uptake of cycling, both in residential and non- residential buildings. Building codes can effectively support the transition to cleaner mobility by establishing requirements for a minimum number of bicycle parking spaces.

(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 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, vulnerable and low- income households 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.

(49 b) The energy transition represents an opportunity to improve access to better quality housing, if renovation costs are balanced as much as possible with energy savings and security of tenure is ensured. It can also help lift households out of energy and transport poverty if subsidies and public funding are made available to those with reduced access to market-price loans. Also, for public housing and rented buildings, participative models are essential for tenants to work together with the housing companies, land lords and owners associations on the scope and cost of renovations. It can help balancing costs and reinforce security of tenure. Capacity building opportunities for local housing providers should be created for better uptake of participative models and a more coordinated approach across sectors at national, regional and local level.

(52) Recent years have seen a rise in the number of air-conditioning systems in European countries. That creates considerable problems at peak load times, increasing the cost of electricity and disrupting the energy balance. Priority should be given to strategies which enhance the thermal performance of buildings during the summer period. To that end, there should be focus on measures which avoid overheating, such as shading and sufficient thermal capacity in the building construction, and further development and application of passive cooling techniques, primarily those that improve indoor ~~climatic~~environment conditions and the micro-climate around buildings.
