19 Energy Efficiency made in Germany III. Governmental strategies and projects to rise energy efficiency in buildings Overview on German activities.

20 III. Governmental strategies and projects Ambitious objectives of the federal government Integrated energy and climate change programme with 30 targeted measures, % reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 compared to 1990 Share of 25-30% of electricity produced from renewable energy sources by 2030 Share of 25% of electricity produced from CHP by 2020 Increase share of bio fuels to 17% by 2020 Government declaration, Reduction of electricity consumption by 11% through a massive increase of energy efficiency Increase share of renewable energy sources in the heat sector by 14% Coalition agreement between CDU, CSU and SPD, Double the energy productivity (economic performance per primary energy use) in Germany from 1990 until 2020 Meeting of the cabinet, Meseberg, 23./24. August 2007

21 III. Governmental strategies and projects Approaches for increase of energy efficiency in buildings Legal Requirements for buildings Obligation of replacement Key instrument: EnEV Loans and subsidies Tax incentives Key instrument: Building Refurbishment Programme Creation of market transparency Pilot projects Information Qualification of experts Regulatory policy Financial support Promotion Source: eclareon adapted from dena presentation

22 III. Governmental strategies and projects History of Energy Savings Directive (EnEV) Heat Insulation Regulation (WSchV) Energy Savings Law (EnEG) Energy Savings Directive (EnEV) Heating System Regulation (HeizAnlV)
