8. EPBD implementation roadmap
Study on “Energy Efficiency in Buildings in the Contracting Parties of the Energy Community” - Roadmap for implementation of EPBD (2012)

9. Energy Efficiency Coordination Group
Regional Group; supports harmonised implementation of the EPBD in the Energy Community; platform for sharing experience; implementation partner for the TA and investment programmes.
EECG Work Programme 2015– 2016 includes topics relevant to EPBD:
Energy performance requirements/ cost-optimal level (National calculation methodology, Input database and calculation software)
Nearly zero energy building concept/Action Plan (Promotion of existing applications and concepts; Development of the NZEB targets and Action Plans)
Certification of buildings and inspections of systems (Regulation; Reports; Trainings; Independent control systems; Registries)
Strong donor’s support (EU/EC, EBRD, GIZ, World Bank, USAID, bilateral TA projects)

10. EPBD – progress in implementation
In accordance with D 2010/31/EU and MC Decision (2010), Contracting Parties were obliged to:
Calculate cost-optimal levels of minimum EP requirements using the comparative methodology framework established by Commission and report to ECS by 30 June 2013 (EPBD, Article 5)
Submit the List of existing and proposed measures and instruments which promote the objectives of the EPBD by 30 June 2013 (EPBD, Article 10)
Report on the progress of CPs in increasing the number of nearly zero-energy buildings by 30 December 2013 (EPBD, Article 9)
Common reporting template was prepared by Secretariat and Energy Efficiency Coordination Group. Countries reported on the progress in implementation (February 2013, updates during 2013 and 2014).
EEAPs (2013) also included reporting on implementation of EPBD and supporting measures.

11. UKRAINE - EE ACQUIS TRANSPOSITION STATUS (STATUS APRIL 2015)

12. Ukraine – key issues (energy efficiency)
An (outdated) Law on Energy Conservation of 1994.
Progress on energy labelling: the Government ‘s Decree and Technical Regulation on Energy Labelling transposed Directive 2010/30/EU and the Delegated Regulations.
A significant number of acts of primary and secondary legislation remains to be adopted:
Draft Law on Energy Efficiency;
Draft EEAP ;
Draft Law on Energy Efficiency in Buildings;
ESCO Law.
Package of secondary legislation on energy efficiency in buildings is missing.
Real implementation is still a challenge.

13. Drafting the Law on Energy Efficiency in Buildings compliant with EPBD
2012 process was not successful (EU/ USAID/ ECS involvement)
The ECS proposed amended version of the Law (March 2015) including the addition of the missing articles from the EPBD, in the Ukrainian current draft. This was followed by EC comments (March 2015), to make the Law compliant with EPBD
Constant communication with State Agency for Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving, Ministry of Regional Development, Building and Housing and Communal Services of Ukraine
However, draft Law that was circulated for inter-service consultations didn’t include suggested provisions by ECS/EC and need amendments to be compliant with EPBD
ECS prepared comparison table with key amendments necessary for compliance with EPBD (distributed)
ECS is ready to further support the finalization and approval of the Law, and later, preparation of the secondary legislation to implement the law.
Involvement of donor community would be essential (EU, EBRD, GIZ etc.)

14. Drafting the Law on Energy Efficiency in Buildings compliant with EPBD
ARTICLE 1. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
‘major renovation’, ‘cost-optimal level’ , ‘building element’ sould be included for the corect transposition of EPBD
EPBD definitions existing in other legislation (‘cogeneration’, ‘primary energy’, ‘European standards’, ‘heat pump’ ‚district H&C ‘etc.) should be clearly mentioned in the law and reported to ECS in line with EPBD Article 28 (2)

Content of the certificate better explained
Issue of EP Certificate: removed 500m2 threshold for rented or sold buildings
Issue and display of EP certificate for for buildings occupied by a public authority and frequently visited by the public: threshold of 500 m2 reduced to 250 m2 (based on EPBD requirement for Contracting Parties to reduce threshold by September 2015)
Obligation for buildings having an EPC to state their rating when advertised in media
Leading role by public authorities – they shall take measures to implement recommendations on increasing a level of EP that are specified in the EP certificate.
>> NEXT: Secondary legislation on energy certification of buildings

18. Drafting the Law on Energy Efficiency in Buildings compliant with EPBD (cont.)

20. Drafting the Law on Energy Efficiency in Buildings compliant with EPBD (cont.)
Article 14. Financing of measures on ensure (increase) the energy performance of buildings
Added:
State support for construction and major renovation of buildings is provided taking into account cost-optimal level of energy performance
In order to promote the energy performance of buildings and the transition to the nearly zero-energy buildings, the central executive body that ensures the formation of state housing policy and policy on housing and utilities is forms a corresponding list of existing measures and instruments and, where appropriate, offers actions and instruments, including those with a financial nature. This list is part of NZEB action plan and submitted to the Energy Community Secretariat
