Amendment 11 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Recalls that heating and cooling constitute the largest share of the EU’s energy demand; emphasises the importance of technology-neutral and market-based incentives in the transition to a low-carbon and secure energy supply to the heating and cooling sector and of focusing not only on a component level, such as buildings; highlights the relevance of promoting the best low carbon technologies for building and industrial sectors in order to reduce the demand of thermal conditioning and to ensure the reduction of GHGs and other pollutants.

Paragraph 2 b (new)
2 b. urges the Commission to put forward a legislative proposal to set up binding targets for energy reduction combined with the renewal of white certificates market that can support investments from Energy Services Companies as well as other private investors.
Amendment 32 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 c (new)
Paragraph 2 c (new)
2 c. underlines the fundamental role of a restructuring plan of the building sectors to boost green economy and green local jobs potential in the field of energy saving, energy efficiency and renewables in private and public building sector.
Amendment 34 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 d (new)
Paragraph 2 d (new)
2 d. stresses the importance on investing to educate people to reduce conditioning, to use less energy intensive appliances, to fully exploit the potential of renewables.
Amendment 35 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 e (new)
Paragraph 2 e (new)
2 e. stresses the importance of the role of technologies able to reduce thermal energy demand and to reduce emissions like the low enthalpy geothermal energy, renewable based heating/cooling districts, small scale natural gas tri-generating power plants or their combination.
Amendment 36 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Calls on the Commission to fully utilise the heating and cooling sector in achieving cost-efficient gains put forward a comprehensive strategy to support initiatives aimed at reducing energy efficiency at system level by linkconsumption and emissions ing heat ing and power production, industrial processes, waste management and demand-side management;cooling sectors by supporting the full exploitation of passive systems, heating and cooling district and renewable energies.
Amendment 57 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Notes the Union’s varying conditions, and calls on the Commission to promote best technology-neutral instrumenties and policies enabling each community to develop cost- efficient solutions to reduce the carbon intensity ofemissions from the heating and cooling sector;.
Amendment 67 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Underlines the widespread avneed to set up sustailnability ofcriteria for solid biomass and the potential for district heating asin order to exploit its potential in accordance with air quality targets (taking into a ccost- efficient meunt PMS ansd of decarbonising the energy sector while also contributing to security of supply objectives; emphasises that a European gas crisis would be a heat crisisther pollutants such as PAHs) and with the principles of closing material loop at the base of the circular economy;
Amendment 83 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Calls for a review of existing legislation focused on safeguarding technology neutrality and cost efficiency so as to ensure that it does not promote or discredit one technology over another – renewable energy produced on-site or near a building should for instance be accounted for when calculating the building’s energy performance, regardless of the sourceso as to ensure that environmental externalities are fully integrated in the cost of thermal conditioning processes.
