Energy ENERGY RENOVATION OF BUILDINGS IN COHESION POLICY “ENERGY AND MANAGING AUTHORITIES” – EMA NETWORK 17 March 2015 Brussels Paul Hodson Head of Unit Energy efficiency Unit Directorate-General for Energy

Energy The way towards: The Energy Union Energy Efficiency as as a fundamental principle of the Energy Union Rethink energy efficiency as an energy source in its own right

Energy Buildings renovation, a key sector Buildings are responsible for 40% of the EU energy consumption 40% of our building stock was built before the 1970s, when no energy performance standards were used 80% of the economic potential of energy efficiency in buildings remains untapped low demolition rates (0.1% per year), low refurbishment rates (1.2% per year)

Energy EPBD (2010/31/EU) - Energy performance certification - NZEB National plans - Cost-optimum energy performance requirements EED (2012/27/EU) -3% renovation for central government - Long term renovation roadmaps - Art 7, EE obligation schemes Ecodesign & Energy Labelling Directives Energy performance of building products (heaters, water heaters, ventilation, A/C) EU legislation - How the pieces fit together

Energy Effective implementation of current framework Review in the short and mid-term of certain elements of the framework (e.g. Energy Labelling; Energy Performance of Buildings Directive Art 7 and other elements under the Energy Efficiency Directive) Putting in place the right policy framework Effective use of European Structural and Investment Funds and other funding (EIC, H2020 etc.) Work with the financial sector to create the right framework conditions for investment (e.g. development of the right standards) Stimulate demand (through a robust implementation of existing and future rules, e.g. on EPCs) Mobilising investments Main challenges…
