Proposal for a directive
Recital 2 a (new)

(2a) Considering the need to aggregate and assist project development, the path to de-risking energy efficiency investments, and the need to use public funds more effectively, there is a need to promote innovative financial solutions, such as Energy Efficiency Obligations Schemes, European Fund for Strategic Investments and Green Mortgages. It is also crucial to make better use of structural funds and investment funds in the form of grants and financial instruments, such as loans, equity, guarantees, and off-the-shelf instruments.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 6 a (new)

(6a) The 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change (COP21) must be reflected in the Union’s efforts to decarbonise its buildings stock, taking into account that almost 50% of the Union’s final energy demand is used for heating and cooling, of which 80% is used in buildings. The Union’s energy and climate goals therefore need to be based 100% on renewable energy by 2050, which can be achieved only making full use of energy saving potential and the “energy efficiency first” principle.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 8

(8) The agendas of the Digital Single Market and the Energy Union should be aligned and serve common goals. The digitalisation of the energy system is quickly changing the energy landscape, from the integration of renewables to smart grids and smart-ready buildings. In order to digitise the building sector, targeted incentives should be provided to promote smart-ready systems and digital solutions in the built environment. Those targets should, however, take into account the less digitally engaged consumers who should not be left behind. In-building physical communications infrastructure is addressed in Directive 2014/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council. Targeted incentives should take into account the Union's connectivity targets, which are a prerequisite to the development of connected, smart homes. However, nearly zero emission buildings with good insulation may block indoor mobile connection and hamper the development of small cells and 5G networks unless the issue is considered during construction and renovation.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 9

(9) In order to adapt this Directive to the technical progress, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission to supplement it by defining the smartness indicator and enabling its implementation. The smartness indicator should be used to measure buildings’ capacity to use ICT and electronic systems to optimise operation and interact with the grid. TWhile the smartness indicator will raise awareness amongst building owners and occupants of the value behind building automation and electronic monitoring of technical building systems and will give confidence to the occupant about the actual savings of these new enhanced- functionalities, consumers should always be in control of their data.

Recital 12

(12) ~~Notably for large installations, b~~Building automation and electronic monitoring of technical building systems h~~ave proven to be an effective replacement for inspections. The installation of such equipment should be considered as the most cost-effective alternative to~~olds great potential to provide cost-effective and significant energy savings for both consumers and businesses. In particular for large installations, building automation and electronic monitoring of technical building systems have proven to be effective and, because they support informed actions taken on energy savings, can replace inspections in large non- residential and, increasingly frequently, also in multifamily buildings of a sufficient size that allow a payback of less than three years. The current possibility to of opting for alternative measures is therefore deleted. However it should be possible to exempt technical systems explicitly covered by an energy service company (ESCO) programme from the inspection requirement. To avoid double inspections, installations that are operated by a utility or network operator and that are subject to inspections at the system level should be exempt from this requirement. For small -scale installations, the documentation of the system performance by installers and the registration of this information in the databases on energy performance certification will support the verification of compliance with the minimum requirements set for all technical building systems and reinforce energy performance certificates (EPC) role. In addition, existing regular safety inspections and programmed maintenance work will remain an opportunity to provide direct advice on energy efficiency improvements.
