Final energy consumption also increased in 2016 as compared to the previous year, exceeding 2015 by 2.8 %. Broken down by sector, households registered the biggest increase in final energy consumption (4 %), ahead of the trade and services sector (3.7 %) and transport (2.9 %). Final energy consumption in industry rose by 1.3 %. Positive economic growth of 1.9 % and an increase of approximately in the population contributed to this rise. Moreover, 2016 was a leap year and therefore had an additional day of energy consumption. This contributed approximately 0.3 percentage points to the increase in primary energy consumption. Finally, the cooler weather conditions in 2016 compared to the previous year resulted in greater energy consumption given the large share of primary energy which is used for heating purposes.

3 - 3 - b) Updates on the most important legislative and non-legislative measures from the previous year (2017) which contributed to the overall national energy efficiency targets for Energy Efficiency Incentive Programme (Anreizprogramm Energieeffizienz, APEE) Under the APEE, existing funding opportunities for increasing energy efficiency in buildings have been expanded by four funding priorities, namely installing ventilation in conjunction with building envelope measures ( ventilation package ), replacing inefficient heating systems with efficient heating systems ( heating package ), introducing innovative fuel cell heating onto the market, and information campaigns (e.g. Deutschland macht s effizient ) to support investment. In addition to being open to private homeowners, the KfW grant scheme Energy efficient construction and renovation - fuel cell grant (programme No 433) which was developed in order to introduce stationary fuel cell heating systems onto the market has also been open since July 2017 to businesses, contractors, municipalities, municipal undertakings and special-purpose associations, non-profit organisations and churches. In this way, support is granted for installing highefficiency fuel cell systems in residential and non-residential buildings. Despite the broader applicant scope, the support conditions are the same, i.e. funding is granted for the installation of stationary fuel cell heating in performance classes 0.25 to 5.0 kw of electrical power in new and existing buildings, for the fixed costs of a full maintenance contract in the first ten years and for the cost of using the services of an energy efficiency expert. Support is granted on a sliding scale according to the electrical power of the installation. Support instrument Private individuals, home owner associations, independent professionals, businesses, contractors, municipalities, municipal undertakings and specialpurpose associations, non-profit organisations and churches Heating KfW

4 Solar construction/energy-efficient towns (module II) support initiative The solar construction/energy-efficient towns (module II) support initiative is a joint funding notice between two Federal ministries. Under the initiative, support is granted for research, development and demonstrations at neighbourhood level relating to energy-efficient construction and renovation, cross-linking electricity, heating and mobility, and incorporating renewable energy into the energy supply. With the full involvement of the municipalities and local inhabitants and taking into account social, environmental and economic aspects, support will be granted to six flagship projects in seven German municipalities. Project consortia comprising city governments, research institutes and businesses will develop and demonstrate on a practical level forward-looking overall approaches to designing sustainable towns. Together the ministries will provide approximately EUR 100 million for the measure. Notification of funding decision (press release): 11 July 2017 Start of funding period: 1 October 2017 Project support for research, development and demonstrations Municipalities, research institutes, businesses Electricity, heating, transport Publication of funding notice: 11 April 2016 Notification of funding decision (press release): 11 July 2017 Start date of project funding: 1 October 2017 Duration of funding: 5 years (planned) Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy Federal Ministry of Education and Research 3. Pilot project: renewable high-efficiency heating networks 4.0 Support is granted to pilot projects for supplying neighbourhoods and districts in an innovative and climate-friendly way using fourth generation district heating systems. Such projects are distinguished by low temperatures, a 50 % to 100 % share of renewable energy, and, in principle, seasonal large heat storage tanks. By linking neighbourhood or district seasonal storage tanks, surplus energy generated in the summer which would otherwise be of no use, e.g. from large solar thermal installations, commercial waste heat or other sources, can be stored for months and used during autumn and winter. Systematic optimisation at neighbourhood and district level will allow the potential for economies of scale and synergies to be harnessed which would otherwise be impossible on the basis of individual houses for technical and/or economic reasons, e.g. due to a lack of south-facing rooftops. Funding is granted for feasibility studies, construction and scientific monitoring of pilot projects. Performance-based variable premiums are used to promote the highest possible amount of renewable heat and the lowest possible heat generation costs. New instrument started on 1 July 2017.

5 - 5 - Support instrument Businesses Heating and cooling Start: 1 July 2017 BAFA 4. Energy advice Energy advice for consumer organisations, energy advice for municipalities, energy advice for small and medium-sized businesses, energy advice for residential buildings (on-site advice, individual renovation road maps) renewable energy and energy efficiency Since July 2017, newly developed individual renovation road maps have also been eligible for support as part of energy advice for residential buildings. For building owners, the advice is presented in a way which is clearer and easier to understand (see next box). Since 1 December 2017, it has been possible for all qualified energy advisors who provide manufacturing, product or sales-neutral advice to be approved for energy advice for residential buildings (on-site advice, individual renovation road maps) and energy advice for small and medium-sized businesses. Previously, approval under advisory service programmes was tied to professional activity. Activities relating to trade, crafts or, for example, involving energy suppliers were previously excluded. The support programme energy advice for municipal and non-profit organisation buildings not used for residential purposes, as amended on 24 February 2017, will be continued. Funding programmes Private individuals, tenants and owners, businesses, municipalities, non-profit organisations Electricity, heating Instrument continued BAFA

6 Individual renovation road map Individual renovation road maps offer building owners a reliable strategy for renovating their buildings in several stages and over the course of several years from an energy perspective. Individual renovation road maps, which were developed in 2016 and 2017, will be made available to homeowners as from July They process the results of software-based energy advice into a standard format which is comprehensible for consumers and integrated into advice on energy matters in buildings. Information Homeowners Electricity, heating Start: 1 July 2017 BAFA 6. Contracting guarantee The aim of the contracting guarantee programme is to remove barriers to financing for small and medium-sized enterprises such as craft trades and service companies, and thus increasingly set up contracting measures in the commercial sector (in particular through performance guarantees from guarantee banks in the area of energy savings contracting). The increase in the maximum guarantee amount to EUR 2 million for contracting projects will not be continued in However, the Federal Government and guarantee banks will together continue to support contracting projects within the normal maximum guarantee of EUR 1.25 million. Funding programme SMEs All energy sources Instrument continued BAFA

7 Further development of the national energy efficiency strategy On 3 December 2014, the Federal Government adopted the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan and so agreed on comprehensive energy efficiency measures. This outlines the objectives, several new immediate measures and working processes, financing and the responsibility of individual stakeholders. The Climate Action Plan 2020, which was also adopted on 3 December 2014, contains measures to increase energy efficiency and help mitigate climate change. Consequently, it will make energy efficiency a key aspect of the German energy transition. Building on the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan, the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy launched a public debate in summer 2016 on developing energy efficiency policy in the medium to long-term alongside the Green Paper on Energy Efficiency. The topics covered included efficiency first, the further development of instruments, EU efficiency policy, sector integration and efficiency-related aspects of digitisation. An evaluation report regarding the consultation on the Green Paper was published in The consultation process showed that a wide range of stakeholders agreed with the efficiency first principle and considered sector integration (use of renewable electricity for heating, transport and industry) to play a key role in the energy transition. While many stakeholders felt it was necessary to expand the current mix of instruments, others emphasised that a variety of instruments was already available, some of which had been introduced only recently and were therefore just beginning to have an effect. Stakeholders also felt that ambitious targets and instruments were needed at European level, as well as greater digitisation, particularly in terms of the use of new technology for measuring, control and regulation.

8 c) Total area of buildings to be renovated under Article 5 of the EED Total surface area of buildings with a total useful surface area in excess of 250 m 2 which are owned and used by the central government and which did not comply with the energy efficiency requirements laid down in Article 5(1) of the EED on 1 January 2018: 2.9 million m 2 No change due to alternative procedure pursuant to Article 5(6) of the EED - therefore determination of renovated areas not applicable. The total surface area referred to above is used to make the necessary estimate for the energy savings to be achieved under the alternative procedure laid down in Article 5(6) of the EED. The method and demonstration of equivalence presented in the attached report entitled of requirements under Article 5 of the Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU which was submitted to the Commission on 29 January d) Total savings achieved in the previous year pursuant to Article 5 of the EED Alternative measures in accordance with Article 5(6) of the EED Measure 1 Measure 2 Thermal protection: window replacement, insulation of top floor or roof Technical building equipment: Building management technology, presence and daylight control for lighting, installation of variable-speed pumps Primary energy savings on the basis of measures under Article 5(6) EED in million kwh of primary energy million kwh of primary energy Measure 3 Installation of PV modules million kwh of primary energy Total energy savings in 2017 through measures under Article 5(6) of the EED (primary energy savings) 4.7 million kwh of primary energy Total energy savings between 2014 and 2017 through measures under Article 5(6) of the EED (primary energy savings) 36.4 million kwh of primary energy The total primary energy savings objective for Germany in order to meet the requirements under Article 5(6) of the EED is approximately 45.9 million kwh between 2014 and 2020.

9 e) Energy savings achieved through alternative measures adopted pursuant to Article 7(9) of the EED The alternative measures which had the highest new final energy savings in 2016 are presented in the table below. For some of those measures, the savings reports for the 2014 and 2015 reporting years were updated compared to previous annual reports where more upto-date evaluation results were available. Alternative measures which had a low savings impact between 2014 and 2020 and measures for which no reliable evaluation results are available have not been notified in this annual report. Where appropriate, Germany reserves the right to report savings made between 2014 and 2020 under Article 7 of the EED in subsequent annual reports. The cumulative final energy saving of 416 PJ indicated in the following table, which was achieved between 2014 and 2016, corresponds to approximately 24 % of the cumulative final energy savings target of PJ which is to be achieved by the Federal Government between 2014 and 2020 under Article 7 of the EED. Over the duration of the measures and through the accumulation of final energy savings under Article 7 of the EED, alternative measures implemented previously between 2014 and 2016 will continue to contribute significant additional final energy savings during the remaining years of the savings commitment period ending in 2020.
