Institutional Institutional updatesEnergy Performance of Buildings Directive State of play: TheCouncil,theEuropeanParliament,andtheC ommissionfoundanagreementontheEnergyperf ormanceofbuildingsDirective(EPBD)on19 December2017.

6 Steps: The transposition period will be 20 months after the entry into force of the Directive ( 20 days after its publication in the EU Official Journal), probably in June. This means that the Directive should be transposed by early 2020. The European Commission is Working on a Questions & Answers document on the implementation of EPBD to be published in June into the EPBD final agreement Part load Recital 16a introduces part load conditions Articles & introduces the need for inspections to take into account typical or average operating conditions , where relevantBuilding automation and control (BACs): The definition of Building Automation and control, as suggested by EPEE was introduced in Article 2 Big non-residential buildings should equipped with building automation and control systems by 2025 (Articles 14 and 15).

7 Inspections: Recital 16a states the importance of inspections of heating, cooling and ventilation systems and Articles 14 and 15 introduce inspections for combined space heating/air conditioning and ventilation purposes of over 70 kW, the threshold suggested by EPEE. Member States may still opt to take alternative measures to inspections. Nonetheless, Member States have to prove that the adequate advice have equivalent effects to inspections. Articles & provides that buildings complying with BACs or electronic monitoring systems, depending on their size, will be exempted from the inspections requirements EPB Standards: The final agreement is in line with what the Commission had proposed in Annex I in its original proposal.

8 Smart Readiness Indicator for Buildings Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) = give recognition to smarter building technologies and functionalities which enhance the energy efficiency and other pertinent performance characteristics of the building stock EPBD final text According to the EPBD final text, SRI will be optional and based on two legal instruments: delegated acts for its definition and its calculation methodology and, implementing acts for the technical modalities of its implementation. Technical study commissioned by DG ENERGY to feed into the calculation methodologySRI Stakeholder meeting December 2017 Presentation of the objectives of VITO study and ongoing work on defining smart ready services (heating, cooling, lighting, mechanic ventilation ect.)

9 With strong consideration on technological neutrality Calculation methodology to take into account smartness performance & impact ( energy savings, comfort, health, convenience, information to occupants, self generation, maintenance prediction ect.) Assessing the smartness of a building is currently expected to require onsite inspection of the building but streamlining the methodology is needed to reduce expected time spent for inspectionsNext steps Stakeholder consultation expected in May 2018 on new updated version of the study and beginning of the impact assessmentEnergy Efficiency Directive State of play: 2ndtriloguemeeting on the Energy Efficiency Directive(EED) was held on 20 March.

10 Discussions focused on energy poverty issues without reaching a common position. Agreement on metering, information and billing systems and financing energy efficiency. Negotiations need first to resolve the technical issues that are currently present in the final textadopted by the Parliament. Once these have been agreed upon, the discussions will focus on the key part of the text: the energy efficiency binding targets under Article 7 EPEE Activities: EPEE co-signed an industry paper calling for a PEF at Coalition for Energy Savings letteron EED to Member States in February 2018 Next Steps: Next triloguepostponed to 16 May so that ministers have a chance to discuss the main energy files currently under trialoguediscussions at their informal meeting of 19 April Next triloguewill focus on energy efficiency targets and the obligation of energy savings under Article 7 PEF4 Buildings State of play.
