Recital A
A. whereas 50% of the energy used for heating and cooling in the EU is primary energy, but no EU policy tools and capacities are sufficiently developed yet to drive the transformation of this sector, to maximise the use of potentials and to deploy solutions for demand reduction and decarbonisation at the required scale and pace;

A. whereas 50% of the energyfinal energy demand is used for heating and cooling in the EU is primary energyof which 80% is used in buildings;
Amendment 17 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital A a (new)
Recital A a (new)
Aa. reminds that 50% of our necessary cuts in emissions, to live up to our COP21 engagements, must come from energy efficiency, and given that buildings consume 40% of final energy and cause 36% of CO2 emissions, stresses that lowering energy demand in buildings is the most direct and cost-effective way to actually reach our climate ambitions, meanwhile boosting the EU's energy security and re-industrialisation;

Paragraph 24 a (new)
24a. Calls for specific attention in the existing and new European funding programmes, such as the EFSI, for innovative and sustainable heating and cooling projects such as micro-generation and storage, refurbishments and development of district heating and especially for clustering small-scale projects into larger, bankable clusters; points out in this regard the importance of well-functioning technical assistance;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 26
Paragraph 26
26. TBelieves that consumers must be at the centre of this strategy, using modern technologies and innovative solutions to shift to a smart, efficient and sustainable heating and cooling system that can unlock energy and budgetary savings for companies and citizens, improve air quality, increase well-being for individuals and provide benefits to businesses and to society as a whole; therefore, takes the view that consumers must be made fully aware of the technological and economic benefits of new heating and cooling systems, so as to enable them to make the best possible choices;
