Energy Efficiency Directive
The proposed Directive aims at establishing a framework for promoting energy efficiency to ensure that the Union meets its target of 20% primary energy savings by 2020. The proposal includes an obligation for Member States to lay down national energy efficiency targets for 2020 and a set of measures for end-users on the one hand and the energy supply sector on the other.
It contains among others the following elements:
- requirements for public sector as regards renovation of existing buildings;
- application of energy efficiency standards for purchasing buildings, services and products;
- obligation to establish national energy efficiency obligation schemes (regular mandatory energy audits for large companies, requirements for metering and billing of energy);
- requirements for Member States to adopt national heating and cooling plans (including coherence with spatial planning);
- obligation to set up an inventory of energy efficiency data for installations combusting or refining fuels.
