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 andincluding the use of energy from low carbon and renewable sources in the buildings sector constitute important measures needed to reduce the Union’s greenhouse gas emissions and the extent of energy poverty. Reduced energy consumption and an increased use of energy from low carbon and renewable sources also have an important part to play in reducing the Union’s energy dependency, promoting security of energy supplyies, cost efficiency of heating and cooling of buildings and technological developments and in creating opportunities for employment and regional development, in particular in islands and, rural areas and off grid communities. _________________ 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).

(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 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. Efforts to improve the energy performance of buildings should respect their architectural quality, including the contribution this makes to people's quality of life. For these reasons, European citizens should be given access to the solution or product that is consistent with the urban regulations designed to protect the aesthetics of buildings or high-quality architecture, provided they are included in the ecodesign schemes provided for by Regulation No 206/2012 of 6 March 2012 and Directive 2009/125/EC, and be allowed to assess the energy efficiency of the different solutions that meet the requirements set in these regulations.

Recital 20 a (new)
(20 a) Energy efficiency improvements need to be made when ever they are most cost-effective than equivalent supply-side solutions. With the increased electrification of heating and increase of renewable energy generation, energy efficiency in buildings is required to avoid creating excess pressure on grid capacity and oversizing generation capacity to manage peaks in electricity demand. Energy efficiency in buildings will support the grid and reduce generation capacity needs.

(32) Staged renovation can be a solution to address the issues of high upfront costs and hassle for the inhabitants that may occur when renovating ‘in one go’ and can allow for less disruptive and more cost- efficient renovation measures. However, such staged renovation needs to be carefully planned in order to avoid that one renovation step precludes necessary subsequent steps. However, deep and staged renovations should not be considered to be in competition with one another as differing factors such as building use, renovation time, existing condition of the building, extent of renovations and primary energy supply of a building, when determining most suitable solutions for decarbonisation. Renovation passports provide a clear roadmap for staged renovation, helping owners and investors plan the best timing and scope for interventions. Therefore, renovation passports should be encouraged and made available as a voluntary tool to building owners across all Member States. Member States should however ensure that the introduction of Renovation Passports would not create disproportionate burdens on involved parties.

Recital 33
Recital 33
(33) The concept of ‘deep renovation’ has not yet been defined in Union legislation. With a view to achieving the long-term vision for buildings, deep renovation should be defined as a renovation that transforms buildings into zero-emission buildings; in a first step, as a renovation that transforms buildings into nearly zero-energy buildings. This definition serves the purpose of increasing the energy performance of buildings. A deep renovation for energy performance purposes is a prime opportunity to address other aspects such as living conditions of vulnerable households, increasing climate resilience, resilience against disaster risks including seismic resilience, fire and electrical safety, the removal of hazardous substances including asbestos, and accessibility for persons with disabilities.

(40) Promoting green mobility is a key part of the European Green Deal and buildings can play an important role in providing the necessary infrastructure, not only for recharging of electric vehicles but also for bicycles. A shift to soft mobility such as cycling can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transport. As set out in the 2030 Climate Target Plan, increasing the modal shares of clean and efficient private and public transport, such as cycling, will drastically lower pollution from transport and bring major benefits to individual citizens and communities. The lack of bike parking spaces is a major barrier to the uptake of cycling, both in residential and non-residential buildings. Building codes can effectively support the transition to cleaner mobility by establishing requirements for a minimum number of bicycle parking spaces. To ensure an effective combination on private e-mobility, active mobility and public transport, Member States should support local authorities in developing and implementing sustainable urban mobility plans. For that, a particular focus should be on integrating housing policy, sustainable mobility and urban planning.

Recital 46 a (new)
(46 a) Member States should prioritise the allocation of part of the European Social Fund to the technical training of workers in energy efficiency for the construction and renovation sectors. Member States should establish registries of their construction value-chain professionals, detailing the availability of skills and skilled professionals on the market. These registries should be updated regularly and be publicly accessible.

(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.

Recital 52
(52) Recent years have seen a rise in the number of air-conditioning systems in European countries. That creates considerable problems at peak load times, increasing the cost of electricity and disrupting the energy balance. Priority should be given to strategies which enhance the thermal performance of buildings during the summer period. To that end, there should be focus on measures which avoid overheating, such as shading and sufficient thermal capacity in the building construction, and further development and application of passive cooling techniques, primarily those that improve indoor climaticenvironment conditions and the micro-climate around buildings.
Amendment 452 #
(54) A common approach to the energy performance certification of buildings , renovation passports, smart readiness indicators and the inspection of heating, ventilation, air-conditioning systems, electrical installations and air-conditioning systems, carried out by qualified or certified experts, whose independence is to be guaranteed on the basis of objective criteria, contribute to a level playing field as regards efforts made in Member States to energy saving in the buildings sector and will introduce transparency for prospective owners or users with regard to energy performance in the Union property market. In order to ensure the quality of energy performance certificates , renovation passports, smart readiness indicators and of the inspection of heating and air- conditioning systems throughout the Union, an independent control mechanism should be established in each Member State.
