Recital 6
(6) Buildings account for 40 % of final energy consumption in the Union and 36% of its energy-related greenhouse gas emissions . Therefore, reduction of energy consumption , in line with the energy efficiency first principle as laid down in Article 3 [revised EED] and defined in Article 2(18) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council32 and the use of energy from renewable and low carbon sources in the buildings sector constitute important measures needed to reduce the Union’s greenhouse gas emissions. Reduced energy consumption and an increased use of clean energy from renewable sources also have an important part to play in reducing the Union’s energy dependency, promoting security of energy supply and technological developments and in creating opportunities for employment and regional development, in particular in islands and rural areas. _________________ 32 Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action, amending Regulations (EC) No 663/2009 and (EC) No 715/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directives 94/22/EC, 98/70/EC, 2009/31/EC, 2009/73/EC, 2010/31/EU, 2012/27/EU and 2013/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 2009/119/EC and (EU) 2015/652 and repealing Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 1).

Recital 11
(11) Measures to improve further the energy performance of buildings should take into account climatic conditions, including adaptation to climate change, local conditions as well as indoor climate environment and, cost-effectiveness and energy savings. Those measures should not affect other requirements concerning buildings such as accessibility , fire safety and seismic safety and the intended use of the building.

Recital 12
(12) The energy performance of buildings should be calculated on the basis of a methodology, which may be differentiated at national and regional level. That includes, in addition to thermal characteristics, other factors that play an increasingly important role such as heating and air-conditioning installations, application of energy from renewable and low carbon sources, building automation and control systems, smart solutions, passive heating and cooling elements, shading, indoor air- quality, adequate natural light and design of the building. The methodology for calculating energy performance should be based not only on the season in which heating or air- conditioning is required, but should cover the annual energy performance of a building. That methodology should take into account existing European standards. The methodology should ensure the representation of actual operating conditions and enable the use of metered energy to verify correctness and for comparability, and the methodology should be based on hourly or sub-hourly time- steps. In order to encourage the use of renewable energy on-site, and in addition to the common general framework, Member States should take the necessary measures so that the benefits of maximising the use of renewable energy on-site, including for other-uses (such as electric vehicle charging points), are recognised and accounted for in the calculation methodology.

(47) Financing alone will not deliver on the renovation needs. Together with financing, setting up accessible and transparent advisory tools and assistance instruments such as one-stop-shops that provide integrated energy renovation services or facilitators, as well as implementing other measures and initiatives such as those referred to in the Commission’s Smart Finance for Smart Buildings Initiative, is indispensable to provide the right enabling framework and break barriers to renovation. One-stop- shops can play an important role in connecting potential projects with market players, including citizens, public authorities and project developers, in particular smaller-scale projects as well as guidance on permit procedures, promoting access to funding for building renovation, and helping to disseminate information on terms and conditions.
