26 Amendments of Francisco de Paula GAMBUS MILLET related to 2016/0381(COD)
Amendment 22 #
(1 a) The European Commission has co-financed a number of projects which build experience and good practices in regional collaboration, practices which can be shared across the EU with a view to improving the execution of the directive. Examples of those projects include MARIE, and its extension SHERPA, along with ELIH-MED and PROFORBIOMED.

Recital 11
(11) The impact assessment identified two existing sets of provisions, whose aim could be achieved in a more efficient manner compared to the current situation. First the obligation, before any construction starts, to carry out a feasibility study on highly-efficiency alternative systems becomes an unnecessary burden. Second, provisions related to inspections of heating systems and air-conditioning systems were found to not sufficiently ensure, in an efficient manner, the initial and maintained performance of these technical systems. Even cheap technical solutions with very short payback periods, such as hydraulic balancing of the heating system and installation/replacement of thermostatic control valves, are insufficiently considered today. Provisions related to inspections are amended to ensure a better result from inspections. Factors such as the previous design and position of the building should be taken in account with a view to achieving greater initial energy efficiency, which would, in turn, lead to savings in other improvements, such as the fittings, outer structure and lighting. To obtain real-time data so that systems can be optimised when necessary, monitoring systems also need to be developed.

Annex 14
Annex 14
(14) Access to financing is easier when good-quality information is available. Public buildings, whether state-, region-, or municipality-owned, or privately owned but publicly used buildings, with a total useful floor area over 250 m² should therefore be required to disclose their actual energy consumption.

Recital 15
Recital 15
(15) The current independent control systems for EPCs should be strengthened to ensure certificates are of good quality, can be used for compliance checking and for producing harmonised statistics on the local/regional/national building stocks. High- quality data on the building stock is needed and this could be partially generated by the registers and databases that almost all Member States are currently developing and managing for EPCs.

Provisions related to inspections are amended to ensure a better result from inspections. Account should be taken of factors such as the initial design of the building and its orientation in order to set a higher starting point for energy efficiency that could produce savings in terms of other improvements, systems, envelopes or lighting. There is also a need to develop the implementation of monitoring systems to obtain real-time data so that systems can be constantly optimised.

Recital 18 b (new)
Recital 18 b (new)
(18 b) This directive should be an additional instrument in the framework of the Energy Union and the Union's new energy governance to tackle energy poverty. For that reason, it encourages the EU to produce a clear definition of energy poverty to be used throughout the Union, and calls for the existing studies to be considered with a view to finding a possible definition as soon as possible.
