Recital 1 a (new)
(1a) To the extent that an ambitious and binding target means enhanced order book visibility for private stakeholders that are involved in renovation, those stakeholders should achieve economies of scale, resulting, in principle, in a reduction in the unit cost of production of their materials and products. The companies involved should ensure that this reduction in costs is shrewdly distributed between an increase in their margins and cuts in their prices, in order to help bring down the barrier to investment that can be posed by efforts geared towards the energy renovation of buildings, and, more generally, efforts to improve energy efficiency.

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.

(7) The provisions on long-term renovation strategies provided for in Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council13 should be moved to Directive 2010/31/EU, where they fit more coherently, and updated to ensure access to affordable energy also for the most vulnerable citizens. __________________ 13 Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on energy efficiency, amending Directives 2009/125/EC and 2010/30/EU and repealing Directives 2004/8/EC and 2006/32/EC (OJ L 315, 14.11.2012, p. 1).

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.

Recital 12
(12) Notably for large installations, bBuilding automation and electronic monitoring of technical building systems have proven to be an effective replacement for inspections. The installation of such equipment should be considered as the most cost-effective alternative toolds great potential to provide cost-effective and significant energy savings for both consumers and businesses. In particular for large installations, building automation and electronic monitoring of technical building systems have proven to be effective and, because they support informed actions taken on energy savings, can replace inspections in large non- residential and, increasingly frequently, also in multifamily buildings of a sufficient size that allow a payback of less than three years. The current possibility to of opting for alternative measures is therefore deleted. However it should be possible to exempt technical systems explicitly covered by an energy service company (ESCO) programme from the inspection requirement. To avoid double inspections, installations that are operated by a utility or network operator and that are subject to inspections at the system level should be exempt from this requirement. For small -scale installations, the documentation of the system performance by installers and the registration of this information in the databases on energy performance certification will support the verification of compliance with the minimum requirements set for all technical building systems and reinforce energy performance certificates (EPC) role. In addition, existing regular safety inspections and programmed maintenance work will remain an opportunity to provide direct advice on energy efficiency improvements.
