EN EN EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, COM(2021) 802 final 2021/0426 (COD) Proposal for a DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on the energy performance of buildings (recast) (Text with EEA relevance) {SEC(2021) 430 final} - {SWD(2021) 453 final} - {SWD(2021) 454 final} EN 1 EN EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 1. CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL Reasons for and objectives of the proposal The revision of the energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) is part of the 2021 Commission Work Programme Fit for 55 package and complements the other components of the package proposed in July 20211, setting the vision for achieving a zero-emission building stock by 2050. As already indicated in the Climate Action Plan2, it is a key legislative instrument to deliver on the 2030 and 2050 decarbonisation objectives. It follows up on key components of the three focus areas3 of the Renovation Wave Strategy4, including the intention to propose mandatory minimum energy performance standards, following an impact assessment looking at their scope, timeline, phasing in and accompanying support policies.
The benefits of lower energy bills are even more relevant in a context of high energy prices. People living in worstperforming buildings and those facing energy poverty would benefit - from renovated and better buildings and from reduced energy costs, and be buffered from further market price increases and volatility.
