Amendment 139 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 11
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, heating and electrical installation safety and seismic safety and the intended use of the building.
Amendment 180 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 33
Recital 33
(33) The concept of ‘deep renovation’ has not yet been defined in Union legislation. With a view to achieving the long-term vision for buildings, deep renovation should be defined as a renovation that transforms buildings into zero-emission buildings; in a first step, as a renovation that transforms buildings into nearly zero-energy buildings. This definition serves the purpose of increasing the energy performance of buildings. A deep renovation for energy performance purposes is a prime opportunity to address other aspects such as the Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ), living conditions of vulnerable households, increasing climate resilience, resilience against disaster risks including seismic resilience, fire 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.
