Amendment 87 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) The 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change (COP21) must be reflected in the Union’s efforts to decarbonise its buildings stock, taking into account that almost 50% of the Union’s final energy demand is used for heating and cooling, of which 80% is used in buildings. The Union’s energy and climate goals therefore need to be based 100% on renewable energy by 2050, which can be achieved only making full use of energy saving potential and the “energy efficiency first” principle.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 9
(9) In order to adapt this Directive to the technical progress, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission to supplement it by defining the smartness indicator and enabling its implementation. The smartness indicator should be used to measure buildings’ capacity to use ICT and electronic systems to optimise operation and interact with the grid. TWhile the smartness indicator will raise awareness amongst building owners and occupants of the value behind building automation and electronic monitoring of technical building systems and will give confidence to the occupant about the actual savings of these new enhanced- functionalities, consumers should always be in control of their data.

Amendment 143 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) Better performing buildings provide higher comfort level and wellbeing for their occupants and improve health by reducing mortality and morbidity from a poor climate. Thermal bridges, temperatures, inadequate insulation and unplanned air pathways can result in surface temperatures below the dew point of the air and in dampness. Well-designed envelopes are critical to the prevention and control of excess of moisture and microbial growth, as they prevent thermal bridges and the entry of liquid or vapour-phase water. Even simple technical solutions, including at the building design phase, to avoid the dew point temperature, such as thermal breaks, are insufficiently considered today.

Article 7 a (new)
(4 a) The following Article is added: ‘Article 7a Exemplary role of public bodies’ buildings 1. Without prejudice to Article 7 of Directive 2010/31/EU, each Member State shall ensure that, as from 1 January 2014, 3 % of the total floor area of heated and/or cooled buildings owned and occupied by public authorities is renovated each year to meet at least the minimum energy performance requirements that it has set in application of Article 4 of Directive 2010/31/EU. The 3 % rate shall be calculated on the total floor area of buildings with a total useful floor area over 250 m2 owned and occupied by the public authorities of the Member State concerned that, on 1 January of each year, do not meet the national minimum energy performance requirements set in application of Article 4 of Directive 2010/31/EU. When implementing measures for the comprehensive renovation of public authority buildings in accordance with the first subparagraph, Member States may choose to consider the building as a whole, including the building envelope, equipment, operation and maintenance. Member States shall require that public authority buildings with the poorest energy performance be a priority for energy efficiency measures, where cost- effective and technically feasible. 2. Member States may decide not to set or apply the requirements referred to in paragraph 1 to the following categories of buildings: (a) buildings officially protected as part of a designated environment, or because of their special architectural or historical merit, in so far as compliance with certain minimum energy performance requirements would unacceptably alter their character or appearance; (b) buildings owned by the armed forces or central government and serving national defence purposes, apart from single living quarters or office buildings for the armed forces and other staff employed by national defence authorities; (c) buildings used as places of worship and for religious activities. 3. If a Member State renovates more than 3 % of the total floor area of public authorities' buildings in a given year, it may count the excess towards the annual renovation rate of any of the three previous or following years. 4. Member States may count towards the annual renovation rate of public authority buildings new buildings occupied and owned as replacements for specific public authority buildings demolished in any of the two previous years, or buildings that have been sold, demolished or taken out of use in any of the two previous years due to more intensive use of other building. 5. For the purposes of paragraph 1, by 31 December 2013, Member States shall establish and make publicly available an inventory of heated and/or cooled public authority buildings with a total useful floor area over 250 m 2, excluding buildings exempted on the basis of paragraph 2. The inventory shall contain the following data: (a) the floor area in m2; and (b) the energy performance of each building or relevant energy data. 6. Without prejudice to Article 7 of Directive 2010/31/EU, Member States may opt for an alternative approach to paragraphs 1 to 5 of this Article, whereby they take other cost-effective measures, including deep renovations and measures for behavioural change of occupants, to achieve, by 2030, an amount of energy savings in eligible buildings owned and occupied by their public authorities that is at least equivalent to that required in paragraph 1, reported on an annual basis. For the purpose of the alternative approach, Member States may estimate the energy savings that paragraphs 1 to 4 would generate by using appropriate standard values for the energy consumption of reference public authorities' buildings before and after renovation and according to estimates of the surface of their stock. The categories of reference public authority buildings shall be representative of the stock of such buildings. Member States opting for the alternative approach shall notify to the Commission, by [XXXX], the alternative measures that they plan to adopt, showing how they would achieve an equivalent improvement in the energy performance of the buildings within the public authority estate. 7. Member States shall encourage public bodies, including at regional and local level, and social housing bodies governed by public law, with due regard for their respective competences and administrative set-up to: (a) adopt an energy efficiency plan, freestanding or as part of a broader climate or environmental plan, containing specific energy saving and efficiency objectives and actions, with a view to following the exemplary role of public authority buildings laid down in paragraphs 1, 5 and 6; (b) put in place an energy management system, including energy audits, as part of the implementation of their plan; (c) use, where appropriate, energy service companies, and energy performance contracting to finance renovations and implement plans to maintain or improve energy efficiency in the long term.”

2a. the following annex is added: "ANNEX IIa Common general framework methodology for the calculation of a 'smartness indicator' for buildings as referred to in Article 8(6) 1. The Commission shall lay down a common general framework methodology to determine the smartness indicator value, rating the ability of a building or building unit to adapt its operation to the needs of the occupant and the grid and to improve its energy efficiency and overall performance. The methodology shall take into account a number of features including smart meters, building automation and control systems, smart thermostats, built-in home appliances, smart recharging points for electric vehicles, energy storage and the interoperability of those features. Those impacts shall be assessed for potential benefits for the energy efficiency and performance levels, as well as the enabled flexibility, indoor climate conditions and comfort of the relevant building or building unit. 2. The smartness indicator shall be determined and calculated in accordance with the following three key functionalities relating to the building and its technical building systems: (a) the ability to maintain, efficiently, high building performance and operation through the reduction of energy demand and a greater use of energy from renewable sources including the ability of the building to manage its own demand or on-site generation by re-managing its own resources; (b) the ability to adapt its operation mode in response to the needs of the occupant ensuring high standards of indoor health and climate conditions, paying due attention to the availability of user-friendly displays and remote controllability; and (c) the flexibility of a building's overall electricity demand, which shall be measured in terms of how much of the building's load can be shifted at any one time in terms of kW peak, and the capacity in terms of kWh of how much of that flexibility can then be delivered to the grid, including offtake and injection. This would enable and support the active participation of consumers in the electricity supply market in accordance with the Directive 2009/72/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council*. The framework methodology shall take into account European standards, in particular those developed under mandate M/480. 3. The framework methodology shall ensure full interoperability between smart meters, building automation and control systems, built-in home appliances, smart thermostats within the building and promote the use of European standards including the Smart Appliances Reference ontology. The smartness indicator shall consider and set a value on openness to third-party systems, for infrastructure such as the electricity and district heating network, electric vehicle infrastructure and demand-response aggregators, with a view to ensuring compatibility in communications, systems control and relevant data or signals transmission. 4. The framework methodology shall include the data handling process within a building or beyond a building’s boundaries, which could include data originating in or received by the building itself or the user or occupant. This process shall be based on protocols that allow authenticated and encrypted message exchanges between the occupant and the relevant products or devices within the building. In particular when processing personal data, such as data coming from frequent and remote metering or sub-metering or processed by smart-grid operators, the principles of occupant ownership, data protection, privacy and security shall be ensured. This common methodology framework shall cover real time data and energy- related data coming out of cloud based solutions and shall ensure the security of data, smart meter readings and data communications, and the privacy of final customers, in compliance with relevant Union data protection and privacy law. 5. The framework methodology shall take into account the positive influence of existing communication networks, in particular the existence of high-speed- ready in-building physical infrastructure, such as the voluntary 'broadband ready' label, and the existence of an access point for multi-dwelling buildings, in accordance with Article 8 of Directive 2014/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council**. 6. The framework methodology shall set out the most appropriate format or visual representation of the smartness indicator parameter and shall be simple, transparent, and easily understandable for consumers, owners, investors, and demand response market participants. It shall complement the energy performance certificate. __________________ * Directive 2009/72/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity (OJ L 211, 14.8.2009, p. 55). ** Directive 2014/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 concerning measures to reduce the cost of deploying high-speed electronic communication networks (OJ L 155, 23.5.2014, p. 1)."
