Potential of buildings recognised in the European Commission’s heating and cooling strategy(EU)

Impact
Start Date
February 2016

The new EU Heating and Cooling Strategy, published in February, is the first EU initiative addressing the energy used for heating and cooling in buildings and industry. Heating and cooling accounts for 50% of the EU’s energy consumption, yet renewables account for just 18% of this consumption.

This strategy emphasis the role buildings can play in increasing energy efficiency, recognising.It outlines plans to boost the energy efficiency of buildings, improve linkages between electricity systems and district heating systems, increase the use of renewable energy, reuse energy waste from industry and actively engage consumers.

HRE4(Croatia)

Impact
Start Date
February 2016

HRE4 will enable new policies as well as prepare the ground for new investments by creating more certainty in relation to the changes that are required. It studies the heating and cooling sector in Europe, and quantifies the effects of increased energy efficiency on both the demand and supply side in terms of energy consumption, environmental impact, and costs. The combination of local mapping and energy system analysis shows both the local nature of heating and cooling, but also the impact that heating and cooling on national energy systems.

Order 13/27.01.2016 Modifying and Completing Law no. 372/2005 regarding Energy Performance of Buildings(Romania)

Impact
Start Date
January 2016

Building energy performance certificate will include data on primary and final consumption of energy, including renewable energy and the amount of emissions in CO2 equivalent. For existing buildings, the certificate will include recommended measures to reduce energy consumption and to increase the use of renewable energy share in total consumption. Nearly Zero Energy building is defined in the new draft legislation as “building with a very high energy performance, in which power consumption is nearly zero or very low and is covered at a rate of 10% of energy from renewable sources, including renewable energy produced on-site or nearby “.
