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 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. The energy efficiency of buildings should respect their architectural quality, including their contribution to people’s quality of life. For these reasons, European citizens should be able to access the solution or product compatible with the urban regulations applicable to the protection of the aesthetic of buildings or quality architecture, provided that they are included in the ecodesign schemes provided for in Regulation (EC) No 206/2012 and Directive 2009/125/EC, with the possibility of assessing the energy efficiency of the different solutions capable of meeting the requirements set out in those Regulations.

Article 5 – paragraph 2
2. Member States may decide to adapt the requirements referred to in paragraph 1 to 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. In such a case, consumers shall be able to choose the most efficient solution within the narrow range of those permitted by the applicable urban regulations protecting the aesthetic of buildings or quality architecture, provided that they are included in the ecodesign schemes provided for in Regulation (EC) No 206/2012 of 6 March 2012 and Directive 2009/125/EC.
