2 Achieving Europe's energy goals The Union framework strategy gives a clear mandate for the work of this Commission In 2016, the Commission will review the Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the Efficiency Directive (EED) Define additional measures on energy efficiency in buildings needed to meet the 2030 targets 2

3 Efficiency Progress Report

4 What is the challenge? An European building stock that is old and inefficient Around 40% of primary energy is consumed in Europe s buildings, which use approx. 60% of all gas imports for heating and cooling. More than two thirds of buildings standing today are expected to remain in use in

5 Review of the EPBD, main instrument tackling energy efficiency in buildings Data collection and evidence gathering Broad consultation and involvement of stakeholders Ex-post evaluation of the Directive Ex-ante analysis of policy options in the Impact Assessment Preparation of the legal proposal Adoption of the package, together with the review of the Efficiency Directive 5

6 Data on the building stock across the EU 28 Member States is key The EU Building Stock Observatory will tackle the lack of quality data on characteristics and energy performance of the building stock

7 Outcome of the public consultation on the evaluation of the EPBD The Directive provides a good framework for improving energy performance of buildings most successful in improving energy performance for new buildings but insufficient incentives for energy efficiency renovations Not as effective as it could be. Why? - Low activity in the construction sector, and renovation rate - Slow and scattered implementation, poor compliance EN-N.pdf 7

8 What else in buildings, beyond the legislative reviews? Support correct transposition and implementationgetting ready for the NZEB targets Progress towards standardised instruments and EUwide certification in the non-residential sector Non-residential buildings: development of the European Voluntary Scheme More transparency on the calculation of energy performance and on minimum requirements 8

9 Positive trend towards NZEB targets

10 Benefits of NZEB increasingly acknowledged

11 Progress towards NZEB targets

12 National renovation roadmaps: moving towards NZEB levels

13 Horizon2020 projects in 2015 towards Nearly-Zero Buildings 4 innovation actions New demand response services for blocks of buildings Development of nearly-zero energy settlements NZEB with innovative fluid flow glazing 3 projects fostering deep renovation e.g. NZEB refurbishments of social housing in UK, FR and NL, replicating the Energiesprong model e.g. Financing deep renovations by adding new volumes 13
