Proposal for a directive
Recital 1
Recital 1
(1) Moderation of energy demand is one of the five dimensions of the Energy Union Strategy adopted on 25 February 2015. Improving energy efficiency will benefit the environment, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy security by reducing dependence on energy imports from outside the Union, cut energy costs for households and companies, benefit public health, help alleviate energy poverty and lead to increased jobs and economy-wide economic activity. This is in line with the Union commitments made in the framework of the Energy Union and global climate agenda established by the Paris Agreement of December 2015 by the Parties of the United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change.

(3) The European Council of October 2014 set a 27 % energy efficiency target for 2030, to be reviewed by 2020 'having in mind an Union level of 30 %'. In DecemberJune 20156, the European Parliament called upon the Commission to also assess the viability of apropose a binding 40 % energy efficiency target for the same timeframe. It is therefore appropriate to review and consequently amend the Directive to adapt it to the 2030 perspective.

(4) There are no binding targets at national level in the 2030 perspective. The need for the Union to achieve its energy efficiency targets at EU level, expressed2020 and 2030 targets for a significant reduction in primary and final energy consumption, in 2020 and 2030 should be clearly set out at EU level in the form of a binding 30 40% target. This clarification at Union level should not restrict Member States as their freedom is kept to se for the commercial power industry, heating and cooling in the services sector, housing, industry and transport. This clarification at Union level should not restrict Member States, which are guided by their development plans when it comes to prioritising the rate at which efficiency is improved in the aforementioned economic sectors, as they will keep their freedom to restrict their national contributions based on beither primary or final energy consumption, primary or final energy savings, or energy intensity. Member States should set their national indicative energy efficiency contribung effective in setting the energy intensity of their economies and in cumulative primary energy consumption. Member States should set their national indicative contributions to limiting cumulative primary energy consumptions taking into account that the Union’s 2030 cumulative energy consumption has to be no more than 1 321 Mtoe of primary energy and no more than 987 Mtoe of final energy. This means that primary energy consumption should be reduced by 23 % and final energy consumption should be reduced by 17 % in the Union compared to 2005 levels. A regular evaluation of progress towards the achievement of the Union 2030 target is necess(+ transport fuel consumption) of cumulative primary energy. A regular evaluation of progress by the different countries towards fulfilling their obligations which, together, make up this EU goal will be carried out every 2 1/2 yearys and is provided for in the legislative proposal on Energy Union Governance.

(4) There are no binding targets at both national and Union level in the 2030 perspective. The need for the Union to achieve its energy efficiency targets at EU level, expressed in primary and final energy consumption, in 2020 and 2030 should be clearly set out in the form of a binding 340 % target. This clarification at Union level should not restrict (when compared to projections for 2030 based on PRIMES modelling using a 2007 baseline). Although Member States ashould retain their freedom is kept to setto set the level of their national contributiontargets based on either primary or final energy consumption, primary or final energy savings, or energy intensity. Member States, they should set their binding national indicative energy efficiency contributiontargets taking into account that the Union’s 2030 energy consumption has to be no more than 1 321129 Mtoe of primary energy and no more than 987825 Mtoe of final energy. This means that primary energy consumption should be reduced by 234 % and final energy consumption should be reduced by 317 % in the Union compared to 2005 levels. A regular evaluation of progress towards the achievement of the Union 2030 target is necessary and is provided for in the legislative proposal on Energy Union Governance.

Recital 6
Recital 6
(6) In view of the climate and energy framework for 2030 and the Union's long- term decarbonisation goals in line with the Paris Agreement, the energy savings obligation should be extended beyond 2020. Extending the commitment period beyond 2020 would create greater stability for investors and thus encourage long term investments and long term energy efficiency measures, such as the renovation of buildings and moving towards 'nearly zero energy buildings'.

Recital 7
Recital 7
(7) Member States are required to achieve a cumulativen overall end-use savings requirement for the entire obligation period, equivalent to 'new' savings of 1.52 % of annual energy sales. This requirement could be met by new policy measures that are adopted during the new obligation period from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2030 or by new individual actions as a result of policy measures adopted during or before the previous period, but in respect of which the individual actions that trigger energy savings are actually introduced during the new period.

Recital 7 b (new)
Recital 7 b (new)
(7b) Member States should define the total energy efficiency of their energy mix, i.e. efficiency in the shift from their primary energy sources to energy used on the consumer market, by way of the final energy supplied to that market – in housing, services, transport and industry – by using the numerical conversion factors expressed as primary energy coefficients in Annex IVa and taking into account a percentage share of each primary energy constituent in this mix, adding individual shares of these constituents multiplied by the applicable conversion efficiency.

Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) Improvements to the energy efficiency of buildings should benefit in particular vulnerable consumers affected byt risk of energy poverty. Member States can already require obligated parties to include social aims in energy saving measures, in relation to energy poverty, and this possibility should now be extended to alternative measures, strengthened to require a significant share to be implemented as a priority, and transformed into an obligation while leaving full flexibility to Member States with regard to the size, scope and content of such measures. In line with Article 9 of the Treaty, the Union's energy efficiency policies should be inclusive and therefore also ensure accessibility of energy efficiency measures for energy poor consumers.

Recital 12 b (new)
Recital 12 b (new)
(12b) The Union's building stock will need to become ‘nearly zero energy buildings’ by 2050, in line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Present building renovation rates are insufficient and those buildings occupied by low- income citizens at risk of energy poverty are the hardest to reach. Therefore, the measures laid down in Articles 7, 7a and 7b are of particular importance.
Amendment 212 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) Energy generated on or in buildings from renewable energy technologies reduces the supplied fossil energy. The reduction of energy consumption and the use of energy from renewable sources in the buildings sector are important measures to reduce the Union’s energy dependency and greenhouse gas emissions, especially in view of ambitious climate and energy objectives set for 2030 as well as the global commitment made in the Conference of the Parties of the United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21) held in Paris in December 2015. Member States should therefore be able to take into account a certain amount of renewable energy generated on or in buildings or nearby for own use into account to satisfy their energy savings requirements. For this purpose Member States should be allowed to use calculation methodologies established under Directive 2010/31/EU.

Recital 16 a (new)
(16a) The European Council pointed out, in its conclusions of 10 June 2011 on the Energy Efficiency Plan (10709/11), that buildings account for 40 % of the EU’s primary energy consumption, which represents 50 % of its final energy, and that, to enable economic growth and encourage employment in sectors requiring special qualifications, i.e. construction and the construction product manufacturing sector, as well as in professional activities such as architecture, urban planning, and heating and cooling technology advisory services, the Member States should establish a post-2020 strategy in these fields, mobilising funds for investment in mass thermal-modernisation of buildings and for the construction of new, zero-carbon buildings.

Recital 18
(18) In order to be able to evaluate the effectiveness of Directive 2012/27/EU, a requirement for a general review of the Directive and a report to the European Parliament and the Council by 28 February 2024 should be introducedEnergy and climate law is complementary and should be mutually reinforcing. Thus, as part of the obligations under the Paris Agreement, within six months of the UNFCCC global stocktake in 2023 the Commission should undertake a general review of the Directive and a report to the European Parliament and the Council should be introduced assessing the general effectiveness of Directive 2012/27/EU and the need to adjust the Union's energy efficiency policy according to the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Such a review should be undertaken in subsequent global stocktakes thereafter.

Directive 2012/27/EU
Article 5
Article 5
(2a) Article 5 shall be amended as follows: “Article 5 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 its central governmentpublic 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 2500 m 2 owned and occupied by the central government 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. That threshold shall be lowered to 250 m 2 as of 9 July 2015. Where a Member State requires that the obligation to renovate each year 3 % of the total floor area extends to floor area owned and occupied by administrative departments at a level below central government, the 3 % rate shall be calculated on the total floor area of buildings with a total useful floor area over 500 m 2 and, as of 9 July 2015, over 250 m 2 owned and occupied by central government and by these administrative departmentpublic 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 central governmentpublic 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 central governmentpublic 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 central government 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 central governmentpublic authority buildings new buildings occupied and owned as replacements for specific central governmentpublic 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 buildings. 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 central governmentpublic authority buildings with a total useful floor area over 500 m 2 and, as of 9 July 2015, 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 m 2 ; 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 2020, an amount of energy savings in eligible buildings owned and occupied by their central governmentpublic 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 central governmentpublic authorities buildings before and after renovation and according to estimates of the surface of their stock. The categories of reference central governmentpublic authority buildings shall be representative of the stock of such buildings. Member States opting for the alternative approach shall notify to the Commission, by 31 December 2013, 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 central governmentpublic authorities 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 central governmentpublic 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.”
