Recital 1
Recital 1
(1) The Union is committed to a sustainable, competitive, secure and decarbonised energy system. The Energy Union and the Energy and Climate Policy Framework for 2030 establish ambitious Union commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions further (by at least 40 % by 2030, as compared with 1990), to increase the proportion of renewable energy consumed (by at least 27 %) and to make energy savings of at least 27 %, reviewing this level having in mind an Union level of 30 %10 or higher, and to improve Europe’s energy security, competitiveness and sustainability. __________________ EUCO 169/14, CO EUR 13, CONCL 5, Brussels 24 October 2014.

Recital 5
(5) The outcome of the evaluation and impact assessment indicated that a series of amendments areis required to strengthen the current provisions of Directive 2010/31/EU and to simplify certain aspects that would make it possible to speed up the processes involved in renovating existing buildings to improve their energy efficiency.
Amendment 129 #

Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) Innovation and new technology also make it possible for buildings to support the overall decarbonisation of the economy. For example, buildings can leverage the development of the infrastructure necessary for the smart charging of electric vehicles and also provide a basis for Member States, if they choose to, to use car batteries as a source of power. To reflect this aim, the definition of technical building systems should be extended. Innovative thermal insulation and heating and cooling systems are required, with a specific focus on centralised combined heat and power systems and renewable energy produced at the end-users’ premises.

Recital 12 a (new)
Recital 12 a (new)
(12a) Highlights the importance of ensuring that measures to improve the energy performance of buildings should not focus on the building envelope only, but should include all elements and technical systems in a building;

Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) To meet the objectives of energy efficiency policy for buildings, the transparency of EPCs should be improved by ensuring that that all necessary parameters for calculations, for both certification and minimum energy performance requirements, are set out and applied consistently. Member States should put in place adequate measures to ensure, for example, that the performance of installed, replaced or updated technical building systems is documented in view of building certification and compliance checking. When it comes to modernising heating in individual buildings for which primary energy is used, conversion to heat should be as energy-efficient as possible and in line with best practices.

(17) Commission Recommendation (EU) 2016/1318 of 29 July 2016 on nearly zero-energy buildings presented how the implementation of the Directive could simultaneously ensure the transformation of the building stock and the shift to a more sustainable energy supply, which also supports the heating and cooling strategy14. To make sure appropriate implementation takes place, the general framework for the calculation of the energy performance of buildings should be updated with the support of the work elaboratedcarried out by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN), under Mandate M/480 that was given by the European Commission. __________________ 14Architectural and town planning standards need to be adapted, in relation to the diverse climates of the Member States, to make it easier to attain this objective. __________________ 14 COM(2016) 51 final.
