2. Heating & Cooling Strategy 2016
“Heating & cooling consume half of the EU's energy and much of it is wasted.”
Framework for integrating efficient heating & cooling into EU energy policies
Key issues:
Linking with electricity system
Linking efficiency and renewables
Primary energy consumption for heating and cooling, 2012

3. Heating & Cooling Strategy 2016
Need for energy renovation of buildings
Buildings (and people living in them) are the first consumers of heating and cooling.
Space heating accounts for more than 80% of heating and cooling consumption in colder climates.
In warmer climates, space cooling is the most important - and is growing.
Barriers to energy renovation of residential buildings
Why do owners often do not undertake renovations that pay off?
lack of awareness of the benefits,
lack of advice on the technical possibilities and economic aspects,
split incentives (for instance in multi-apartment buildings)
financing constraints.

4. Heating & Cooling Strategy 2016
Heating and cooling equipment
Almost half of the EU's buildings have individual boilers installed before 1992, with efficiency of 60% or less
22% of individual gas boilers,
34% of direct electric heaters,
47% of oil boilers and
58% of coal boilers
Decisions on replacing old appliances are typically made under pressure, when the heating system breaks down. Comparison between solutions is not easily available for most consumers.
Way forwards: raise consumer awareness of household energy efficiency aspects, and especially with consumer associations, that can advise consumers about efficient and sustainable forms of heating, cooling and insulation

Energy Efficiency
Directive
A binding 30% energy efficiency EU target for 2030
Extending existing energy savings obligations (1.5%/y)
Empower consumers by granting access to information on their energy consumption.
Energy Efficiency Directive
We are proposing a binding EU-level target of 30% for 2030, up from the current target of at least 27%.
A 30% target is the most cost-effective option that, compared with the current 27% target agreed in 2014, will, by 2030:
Create about 400,000 new jobs;
Reduce gas imports by 12%;
Save €70 billion in fossil fuel imports.
We will make Article 7 fit to continue delivering its energy savings in 2030 by removing the 2020 "sunset clause" and by simplifying various requirements.
We also want to empower consumers. We encourage citizens, communities, and prosumers to take advantage of their new power (right to request a smart meter, electronic billing, electricity contract that contains a dynamic element, etc.)
Energy Performance of Buildings
Our aims:
Keep the existing prudent scope. It ensures subsidiarity, proportionality and cost-effectiveness and leaving significant flexibility with Member States;
Preserve the main objectives, principles and overall architecture of the Directive;
Only include targeted amendments that allow for continued implementation of key provisions in the current Directive that are already delivering and are cost-effective;
Strike a balance between guidance and limited legal revisions to introduce new focussed provisions to address in particular existing building and the link to finance.
For buildings – a sector which accounts for 40% of Europe's energy consumption – we propose new rules mainly in order to speed up the renovation rate. With them, we will promote the use of innovative and smart technologies to ensure that buildings operate efficiently.
The review of the Energy Performance in Buildings Directive will create a clear vision for a decarbonised housing stock by 2050.
We have proposed measures to encourage the use of electronic building controls. We also propose introducing a smartness indicator for buildings.
Our buildings infrastructure is key to promote e-mobility: The new provisions in the Energy Performance in Building Directive will require the deployment of about 5 million electric vehicle recharging points.
And we aim at encouraging greater use of renewable energy in buildings.
We are putting forward a smart finance for smart buildings initiative to encourage public and private investment in energy efficiency and renewables in buildings. This initiative will help us finance renovation and retrofitting in our housing stock, and to reach out to every citizen who is willing to invest to make his or her house more energy efficient.
These proposals have huge potential in terms of unlocking investment in the clean energy transition – potentially an additional 10 billion euros in public and private funds between now and 2020.
And this is balanced with measures to protect consumers in general and specifically vulnerable groups who are more likely to be affected by energy poverty.
Ecodesign:
The Ecodesign working plan includes a list of new product groups (a number of which in 2017):
air heating products, cooling products, high temperature process chillers and fan coil units;
standardisation request to the European standardisation organisations as regards energy labelling of solid fuel boilers and packages of a solid fuel boiler, supplementary heaters, temperature controls and solar devices;
standardisation request to the European standardisation organisations as regards energy labelling of local space heaters.
It also outlines how Ecodesign will contribute to the objectives for a circular economy, specific measures on air conditioning, and guidelines for voluntary agreements. 8

10. ENERGY EFFICIENCY DIRECTIVE energy savings obligations
(ARTICLE 7 EED)
Extending existing energy saving obligations beyond 2020 (1.5%/year)
Improving coherence with the EPBD
Strengthening the social dimension
Attracting private investment for energy efficiency renovations
Lower energy bills for consumers and reduced energy demand
Requiring MS to consider energy poverty in designing energy efficiency obligation schemes or alternative measures
Renovation according to EPBD can be counted under energy savings obligations
Increasing buildings renovation rate

11. ENERGY EFFICIENCY DIRECTIVE
Metering and billing
Clearer, more frequent information on consumption of thermal energy:
Consumption of heating and cooling shall be climate corrected.
Mandatory to provide comparisons:
With consumption for same period in the previous year, in graphic form
average normalised or benchmarked final user in same category
Contribute to deliver a New Deal for Energy Consumers:
"…providing consumers with frequent access, including in near real-time, to partially standardised, meaningful, accurate and understandable information on consumption and related costs as well as the types of energy sources"
Clarification that the EED provisions will focus only on metering and billing will be centrally provided thermal energy (district heating/cooling, central supply of heat/cooling/hot water). Metering and billing for gas and electricity will be covered in the forthcoming Market Design Initiative.
Clarification that that consumers includes households in multi-apartment buildings equipped with "sub-metering" – they should have access to clearer consumption information and more frequent feedback.
New meters to be remotely readable by 2020, and existing meters to be adapted to be remotely readable by 2027 where this is cost effective. This will allow more frequent information to be provided to consumers and is a cheaper and less intrusive way of reading meters 11
