5 News from Brussels The recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (see EurActiv LinksDossier) will require the public sector to take the lead by owning and renting buildings with "nearly zero" energy standards by the end of 2018, two years in advance of the private sector. Moreover, member states were tasked to promote the conversion of existing buildings to comply with the standard.

6 Europe: Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) EPBD requires the introduction of an "independent control system" for energy performance certificates Should be controlled "representative sample" of the issued energy certificates in a given year Enforcement action

13 Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in Buildings Studies came to the conclusion that, to be reduced by 2020 by up to 17 percent compared to 2005 at constant expansion of renewable energy and increase efficiency with a significant increase of energy consumption. The share of renewables in final energy consumption would then rise to around 18 percent The Transformation of the Energy System' (known in German as the 'Energiewende') refers to the move towards the age of renewables and energy efficiency. The German government decided that Germany's energy supply should be generated primarily from renewables by This requires our energy supply system to be fundamentally restructured, presenting Germany with economic and technological challenges
