Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Welcomes the announcement of a renovation wave as part of the European Green Deal; urges the Commission to present it as planned, given that it is a key element of the post-COVID-19 recovery plan considering its huge potential to stimulate the real and local economy post-COVID-19, while also generating other co-benefits like improved air-quality, reduced GHG emissions and health risks; calls on the Member States to step up large-scale renovation plans under the national energy and climate plans (NCEPs) in order to achieve a highly energy-efficient and climate-neutral building stock as soon as possible;
Amendment 16 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1 a (new)
Paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. Is concerned about the Commission’s intention of including buildings emissions in the EU ETS considering that a market instrument will not solve the existing barriers to building renovations, such as split incentives or lack of information; it could also result in a time-consuming process likely to bring higher energy bills for building occupants and to shift the responsibility for reducing buildings’ emissions from the public to the private sector;
Amendment 36 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Welcomes the Commission’s new Circular Economy Action Plan which highlights the role ofing that construction and building materials in generatinge over 35 % of the EU’s total waste; notes that and account for about 50% of all extracted materials; remarks the need to take a streamlined approach should be taken inin the EU legislation to reusing, recoverying, recycling, life- cycle assessment and toing products and materials and taking the embodied energy in building materials into account;
Amendment 43 #

Paragraph 2 b (new)
Paragraph 2 b (new)
2b. Notes that the lack of high-purity materials during demolition hampers the reuse and recycling of construction materials and therefore calls on the Commission to address this issue to foster the full implementation of circular economy objectives;

Paragraph 2 c (new)
Amendment 55 #
3a. Highlights the multiple benefits of including passive and natural elements in the design of a building to substantially reduce energy needs, improve air quality, comfort and climate resilience, while contributing to circularity principles, increasing urban biodiversity, restoring the natural water cycle and reduce overall emissions; calls on the Commission and the Member States to incentivise the use of natural building materials with low carbon content, the deployment of green rooftops and walls, cool surfaces and of passive techniques in general during major building renovations and new building constructions by considering for instance the introduction of mandatory green surfaces installations and the creation of synergies between the Renovation and the EU Biodiversity Strategies;
Amendment 61 #

Stresses that there is noe lack of a common EU legislation on the management of recyclable bulky waste in general, and of such as polystyrene and stone wool in particular; expresses its concern about the safe handling of insulation materials, given the possible inclusion ofat they may contain dangerous substances in them;
Amendment 74 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Notes that building renovation projects should also contribute to the potential for betterimprovement of indoor comfort, safety and health conditions; emphasises that the revision of air quality standards can lead to improvements in indoor environmental conditions and help tackle energy poverty;
Amendment 83 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. EmphasRecognises the potentialimportance, in terms of overcoming the current fragmentation in the market, of creating a common energy and environmental building passport; stresses further that it should include the circular capacity of materialsthe building renovation passport to coordinate and track continued buildings improvements and to monitor renovation depth and energy performance; emphasises the need of introducing policies and measures improving and promoting the circular capacity of materials complementary to the building passport and calls on the Commission to do so in the Strategy for a Sustainable Built Environment;
Amendment 97 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Stresses that homeowners and housing associations should be supported in climate-proofing their building stock, for example through grants or financial instruments based through various sectoral programmes onf the additionality of multiannual financial framework (MFF) funding, national budgets and private sector sources; welcomes the Commission’s intention to set up a specific stream of resources for the building renovations in the Recovery fund;
