Unit C4 : Energy Efficiency : Buildings and Products

At least a 32% share of renewables in final energy consumption

At least 32,5% energy savings compared with the business-as-usual scenario

Policy framework for 2030: ambitious climate and energy targets

Minimum 40% cut in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 levels

2

Green Deal: at least 50% CO2 reduction by 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050.

Improve energy performance of buildings, increase renovation rates, Generate needed socio-economic and technology breakthroughs, Ensure consistency of policy, enabling actions, and R&I

Vision for 2050: achieving net-zero GHG emissions, including highly energy efficient and

decarbonized EU building stocks

A solid framework for 2030 and 2050

CLEAN ENERGY FOR ALL EUROPEANS

Buildings responsible for 40% of energy consumption and 36% of

GHG emissions in EU

Buildings to contribute significantly to GHG emission

reductions of around 90% compared to 1990 by 2050

75% of the housing stock is energy inefficient

Construction rates / worse economic conditions

• low demolition rates (0.1-0.2% per year)

• limited new construction activities (0.4-1.1% per year)

• very low refurbishment rates (0.4-1.2% per year)

• structural

• market failures

• regulatory failures

Problems and drivers

EU building sector

CLEAN ENERGY FOR ALL EUROPEANS

Stronger long term renovation strategies for Member States, aiming at decarbonisation by 2050 and with a solid financial component.

Targeted support to e-mobility infrastructure deployment.

Higher thresholds for inspections of heating and air conditioning systems

An optional Smart Readiness Indicator for buildings

Reinforcement of building automation

Enhanced transparency of national building energy performance calculation methodologies

Supportive of building

renovation by linking policy and financing

Smart

by ensuring the use of ICT and

modern technologies

EPBD – main outcomes of the revised Directive

CLEAN ENERGY FOR ALL EUROPEANS

Long term renovation strategies (new Article 2a)

• Establish comprehensive strategies aiming at a

• A highly efficient and decarbonised building stock by 2050

• Cost-effective transformation of existing buildings into nearly

zero-energy buildings.

Roadmap with measures, measurable progress indicators and

indicative milestones for 2030, 2040 and 2050.

• Carry out a public consultation on the strategies prior to submission

to COM

• Monitor and consult on implementation

MOBILISING INVESTMENT – Article 2a (3)

To support the mobilisation of investments into the renovation needed,

Member States are to facilitate access to mechanisms for:

a) Aggregation of projects

b) Reduction of perceived risk of EE operations

c) Public funding

d) Guiding investments into EE public building stock (in line with Eurostat

guidance)

e) Advisory tools (one-stop shops, energy advisory services)

FINANCIAL MEASURES LINKED TO SAVINGS – Article 10(6)

Member States are to link their financial measures for energy efficiency

improvements to targeted or achieved energy savings

Directive 2010/31/EUEPBDLong Term Renovation Strategies (LTRS)

Regulation(EU) 2018/1999Governance RegulationNational energy and climate plans (NECP)

LTRS part of National energy and climate plans

first Long Term Renovation Strategy, to be submitted by 10 March 2020, transposition deadline for Directive (EU) 2018/844 (the amending directive).

Draft NECP – 31 Dec. 2018

Final NECP – 31 Dec. 2019

Draft and Final National energy and climate plans include:

• Indicative milestones • Domestically established measurable

progress indicators• Evidence-based estimate of expected

energy savings and wider benefits • Contributions to Union's energy

efficiency targets.

Long-term renovation strategies & NECPs

CLEAN ENERGY FOR ALL EUROPEANS

Quantitative or qualitative objectives

Based on national specificities

NOT sectoral targets for the building sector

NOT binding targets (however, MS may decide to go beyond EPBD and set binding milestones)

Clear milestones reduce investor risks and uncertainties and engage stakeholders and business.

• (non-exhaustive) Examples: Energy savings (in absolute and relative % terms);

Renovated buildings / renovated m2 (for different types or public buildings);

% /Number/m2 of NZEBs (for different types or public buildings);

% Reduction of emissions in the building sector;

% Reduction of people affected by energy poverty;

% Reduction of buildings in lowest energy class;

Energy savings in public buildings;

% of buildings equipped with BEMs or similar smart systems;

One-stop shop initiatives in place

Indicative milestones for LTRS
